Idea of buff for perk Lithe.

Hi all. I would like to try a possible idea to buff this perk, because of all the perks of Exhaustion this is the least used from my point of view.

To explain the buff I would like us to go back to the beginning of the game. Do you remember when before the survivors made the vaults very fast no matter how they reached the window?
Well, I think that, due to the name of the perk, it would be good enough that, apart from granting that sprint when doing the vault, it also allows you to do it fast no matter from what angle you reach the window, instead of slow as it happens now. I think it would be a good idea, do not you think?

    Lithe needing a buff, that hurts my brain, I seem to use it just fine

    It does what it says on the tin, you get a burst of speed when you fast vault a pallet. The perk is balanced in its own right. There will always be better perks, this one doesnt need a buff. If you slow the speed down its probably not worth it. If you speed it up it will be too good. If you increase duration it will be too good.

    I don't really think approaching it from any angle would be enough to to make it as relevant as say adrenalin, but sure.

    I would be great if Lithe would let you vault 15% faster

    How about Lithe undoes the vaulting change where you have to now have 2.5m of clearing distance to do a fast vault rather than 1m of clearing distance. That'd make it viable.

    Interesting proposal. Yeah, Lithe should grant the old fast vault: as Botany Knowledge was buffed after healing nerf, so Lithe should be buffed after the fast vault nerf.

    Seriously, tired of the going down from vaulting too slow when Lithe is supposed to activate, sometimes it will even activate and you still go down.

    Unfortunately because I am kinda potato, i think lithe does need a boost. 

    If your are in your speed boost from being hit, there is a 1, or 2 second window between being hit, and vaulting where lithe will not activate.

    Or it needs to stack with/extend upon that speed boost on being hit.

    Sometimes when I try to lithe, i get hit in the window, and feel like I'm wasting one of the boosts.
