The only thing I haven't been able to verify myself is if there was a change in the XP needed to level as I didn't note down what XP was needed in order to level before the patch hit. HOWEVER, with all the changes to kill speed due to monster hp/damage nerf and the increased amount of XP given for completing tasks and especially the main vigilance quest, I can tell you that the grind feels A LOT better then it did.
Albeit it's still a boring grind, it is a whole lot faster to do now. Anyways, you should really give it a try, I myself decided to level my now lvl 64 GWF due to the changes that has been made.
I have seen no mention of reduced xp requirements.
However:
* Faster killtimes
* Reduced number of vigilance quests required
* And from patchnotes: Greatly increased the amount of experience Vigilance tasks give across the board.

Hope this helps your decision

So levelling should be noticeably faster now.
