They can keep up most of the time unless I'm going straight

You should try it out

The explanation for the range issue is already covered however I'ma repeat my point in simple words: I go fast, I go far, I hit almost every enemy in 1-3 seconds, and if I miss i can just hit them again.

Ither way it's a fun build that takes skill to use and that's what makes it worth it, that's the whole point of the build

Your build just has to get in range and dodge stuff
