I was in favor of weakening the VQ before, but I think it is too soon to say if she needs to be weakened again. It does seem to me that she remains the most powerful combat Pretender you can get starting out the game.

The Carrion Dragon (as well as Allfather) is probably a better, more powerful combat pretender right out of the blocks, especially when playing as CW, giving quick easy access to some very high regeneration for the CD.

Even late game, fully tricked out, the CD and Allfather are just as good. The difference is that the VQ dying is a only an inconvenience, as are any crippling wounds, even feeblemindedness. (Crippling wounds also aren't a big deal for the CD.)
