Cutlass Thrust Missing Constantly!!!

[disgruntled pirate]

I unlocked the Thrust Skill on my cutlass and now I have 2 skill points on it, but it never ever hits. I can get it to work. It really looks sharp in action and the one (1) time that I got it to work, it did massive damage. But alas and alack, it always ALWAYS misses. Does everyone else's miss like that? I have no problem with any of the other cutlass skills but that one. Could anyone give me a hint as to why it misses all the time. I repeat, I get it to work but it always misses. Any helps or suggestions would be very much appreciated.
