The combo is good, but has its limitations.
Against regular trash mobs up to plains there are no problems.
When fighting the tanky mobs like trolls, golems, lox, abominations and fulling groups, it takes longer to dispose of them because you can not take the hits well enough. Log trolls are a real pita due to their reach.
But the movement benefit is awesome for getting away and travelling distance. I highly recommend it for that.
