ugh yes I just tested it, used to do 200 give or take it w/e gear I had on at the time, its now 163~ per CW2... damn they give us something good, then take it all away. It's not the end of the world, but that 30 hp really helped. At least Drain samba II is untouched, as well as the rest of dnc's moves as sj.
If you relied so heavily upon that extra 30 HP that it makes a difference in what you -now- can or can't do, you're not real good at soloin', especially as a NIN, in the first place. This "fix" is nothin', piece of cake. Hell, this is commin' from a guy (me) who doesn't even stack gear to get the most of his Waltzes to begin with.
