The new changes won't change that dynamic entirely, but at least now the low tier valks should be cheap enough that you can easily field a cleanup crew behind them to take care of the leaks.
I suppose the trade-off is that they'll be slightly worse duelists than before but whatever, I already preferred Conrad, Mortimer and their mighty beer guts for that job anyway.
