I find the changes to be kinda bad, I got really used to Noxious Gash. I Personally feel like the job is in dire need of any kind of damage mit ability. I get it's a glass cannon, but after running EX1 about 45 times, there's is so many times I've had preventable deaths because the healers or tank didn't account for me being so low health. VPR needs to be brought up in health a tad or given another life steal ability or just give them that defensive they get in PvP.
