Lunch Enchantment Attack Stay out While Lunging

Currently, the lunge enchantment makes you dash forward when using the jab attack. When I'm trying to attack a mob from a distance by utilizing the lunge, the hitbox is gone by the time I reach the mob (if you aren't hitting the mob right when you start the attack you won't hit it at all). I understand lunge not being bound to the right click / alternative attack as the damage would be overpowered from the speed boost. However, in its current state I'd like to see the attack hitbox staying out for longer so I can enter a fight from a distance with the enchantment. Right now it only works as a fun movement / travel ability.
