Just minor changes as discussed. Testing so far has shown some change in overall level of utility. He still tends to show up after axegrinders have engaged which makes using the special more difficult as he'll blast his allies but against the right opponent it's a risk possibly worth taking. Works okay for ranged units a bit as well, mainly because they're more concerned with the Axes running them down.
