Getting rid of merits in VW Procs was a double edged sword. It effectively killed the need for a few jobs like NIN or RDM, while making VW easier to fill up because you don't need as specific of job setups to maintain procs.
You NEVER brought a RDM anyway, too few procs to give a damn about. Ninja I can see, one of our BRD's now goes /NIN to cover those procs. But our NIN now comes THF, so it's still a win.
