Nudges still might need a little bit of tweaking. I was in a 1v2 earlier where Ost kept nudging me, but rather than leaving me open to attack, it instead launched me out of range. Considering I was playing an s-key poleaxe build at the time, this actually ended up being to my benefit. He may have just been using the wrong nudge, however. I need to read up on nudge mechanics again.
