I have always had ToB installed, so I don't know if the kit was watered down or not. But I do know that the kit only gets 1% per level, even though the Kit Description still says it's 2%. Wizard Slayers have to hit ToB levels before they start getting a good MR, and even then they're still behind the Monk.

I know installing ToB does make some Wizard-Slayer changes (with just SoA, they couldn't even drink Healing Potions), but I'd be surprised if they actually made the kit weaker.

....except that the Spell Disruption only takes effect on a hit, and a spellcaster who can get hit is already dead. (Except for Dragons, of course, but most of their spells are scripted anyway.) The only protection that Spell Disruption can punch through is Stoneskin, and with all the Elemental-damage weapons flying around, your Warriors don't give a damn about Stoneskin anyway.
