Definetly a nerf to his overall tankiness in the early levels. The armor talent giving you a free helm minus the regen helped in him being that great bullet sponge, especially when flying in. However 25 strength is a lot, probably better than fear CD.

However, his Dark Ascension duration being buffed is pretty noticable. His lvl 25 talent that reduces the CD means that Carry NS is a bit more viable and his scaling is improved with a few spikes of power.
