well i'm sending the first trigger that will be used to activate certain skills. since i'm experimenting with having a second trigger that hits whoever's in the way. this also adds a sense of weapon speed since it reads the speed of the equipped weapon (stronger weapons will have a longer delay. faster ones will have a shorter delay)
One of the skills i have will allow you to sometimes dash out of the way of an attack before it lands when it receives the first trigger. other uses may include things like allowing the defender to retaliate with damage or an effect before they get hit, or on the other hand, allowing the attacker to cause an effect just before they actually strike.

tl;dr: It's intentional.
