Yes, I’ve read all that - although reading the entire thread maintains some uncertainty about how it’s all working in practice, even in terms of what Kuli reported and can see.
Yes, because Nimble’s second buff (
dodge_distance_modifier) is modifying dodge speed down the line. The velocity during dodge is increased but not the dodge distance, so the dodge is over sooner. This obviously affects dodge actions against any attack. The linger buff still helps dodges against melee attacks.
It’s confusing and people still reporting it being an issue. I stopped using it and it was an enormous difference in hits taken. Other friends reported the same.
