Dodging interrupts toughness regeneration as if the player was directly hit

Issue Description:
The title says most of the problem. As far as my understanding goes, coherency regeneration is supposed to be interrupted and put on a delay (which is reduced by toughness regeneration rate perks) when the player either hits an enemy or is hit by an enemy. The issue I discovered is that enemies that could have hit you, but don’t due to evasive movements like dodging/running/sliding still interrupt the regeneration, which can lead to an absolutely ridiculous time period where the player hasn’t directly engaged in combat, but still does not benefit from regeneration.
I would like to add as a helpful pointer that there seems to be something in the game’s code that identifies attacks that the player avoids. I know this because the Sharpshooter class has a perk that grants stamina when dodging attacks. The regeneration interruption trigger maybe be linked to this, rather than the player directly taking damage. I don’t know anything about programing beyond the barest basics, so hopefully this isn’t useless info.

Steps to Reproduce:

  1. Play any mission with enemies. The recent games where I noticed the issue were Heresy difficulty, but I doubt that matters. I was playing Ogryn with the Lynchpin perk and +50% total toughness regen from curios and while I’ve noticed this issue in other matches, this was simply my latest loadout used because I was testing regeneration after the new bugfixes.
  2. Try avoiding melee/ranged attacks while missing toughness so you can see when you are regenerating and when it gets interrupted.

It’s hard to tell the exact chance of it happening due to only noticing it yesterday, but I think it’s just guaranteed.

This really shouldnt be intented. If fixing this would make coherency reggen too strong then just nerf it. Dodging stuff and not getting dmg should be rewarded when doing this near teammates.
