The thing is...they did this change to prevent "Maim-over-Maim". I did this so many times before 1.18 i got tired...and this is what they didn't want...that's why they shortened the effect duration and increased recast...right now, even if you to everything right (Maim > wait basic AA trigger/use siphon/have Invigorate II active > 3 basic attacks > Maim), the exposed effect would be gone by the time the second Maim popped.

It was possible before 1.18...i could toss a second maim over exposed effect and get around 30% extra damage...but now, even if the bonus was 100%, MRD couldn't take full benefit of it...right now Maim is just like Comrade in Arms...an action that actually was made to other party members to use.

And, anyway, you can heal way more with Second Wind II than Bloodbath. But still, i'm looking to Maim mechanics alone...it's easy to see why they did the changes, but this is not an excuse to say it wasn't nerfed. It's the same of saying Victimize wasn't nerfed because now you can use retaliation actions on misses...of course this is why they increased Vic recast...but still, even though it's understandable, it's still a nerf.
you can remaim with multi targets. comrade 2 is also all good
