The difference on nimble is 4 stam points versus extra 2.9% cooldown reduction on refreshing? Are you sure about that?
I mean you’re free to do what you wish but no one logical is going to choose the former, if you’re goal is to get the most value out of a perk in that slot.
.05 seconds though? Idk I don’t think I’ve ever thought “nimble really saved me there” perhaps the spear stamina Regen passive, but never nimble. It’s actually really good when paired with spear. Maybe with rapier too since rapier has aaaaaall the Stam Regen.
the 20% from stalwart have a huge impact, 10% from nimble is only half of it, but even tho you won’t see a huge difference when you compare them side by side it has a decent impact making your dodges just more frequent and making your gameplay more fluid.
is it better than refreshing? for me absolutely.
it feels horrible to play when stalwart isn’t active, so nimble has only half the impact but is noticable for sure.
and yeah, i don’t need to compare them side by side to know that when you regen 50stamina you have 54-55 stamina with nimble, what useless testing.
This perk stacks with nimble. I tested it on a frame by frame video.
Nimble really does save you when you’re dodging and using proper stamina management.
Playing a light spear Hatchet fighting in the Zerg ball, every stamina helps, you only need 1 stamina to avoid all damage. In the video you’ll have 4 stamina more than your opponent which is plentiful
Really comes down to your build and if it’ll be impactful to your play style.
ye kinda strange. u can clearly see the 0.05 sec difference in the video.
and i bet nobody has that quick reaction time, like that wouldnt even be possbile at all.
still some believe it’s worth
While the average FPS player has a reaction time between 300-500 milliseconds, professional FPS players clock reaction times between 100-250 milliseconds
I mean, I’m not gonna pretend like I know a lot about NW PVP but there are people absolutely dying on the hill that it’s a boss perk so I guess we have some of the uppermost percentile of reaction times or something.
The one and only time i can say nimble proved it self (not enough to change my mind)
Was being chased by an assassin in open world pvp.
From the warcamp to the settlement.
Both light, both hearty, both managing dodges to escape/catchup but after a 2min chase I started to increase the gap enough for him to stop and give up the chase.
It took that long before it became noticeable…
I am a min-maxer myself but there are better options for that earrings slot at it current value.
I have a suspicion they will too. Like compensation for the nerf to refreshing evasion.
On the other hand, dodging in general is really powerful in nw. Literally invincible. Do i also feel like they’ll either overdo it or undo RE in a different way.
Why would them nerfing Refreshing Evasion, give you hope that they will buff nimble? Refreshing Evasion has always been weaker than Refreshing (even before the nerf), and it was still nerfed. Buffs/Nerfs don’t follow logic.
They absolutely dumpstered Sturdy Energy with the July Update and that had a decent bit of conditionality… expect Stamina Recovery to get hit soon lol (hope not though).
