Pathfinder should never have been a low-profile character. His hitbox was choppy at times but this has been fixed for a long period of time. He's as large as any medium character with a massive hitbox. Somehow Gibby is given a 75 hp arm shield and reduced 15% damage intake, but a character that is almost as big takes an additional 5%? Simple balance goes a long way.
His grapple is useful, but he isn't transparent like Wraith and Loba so shooting a giant flying refrigerator midair isn't a challenge. I have so much confidence that i'm going to win the battle anytime i see a pathfinder just knowing how easily he's going to get melted.

Gibraltar's shield has 50 hp.
Regarding pathfinder hitbox - i think it is still quite skinny and i wouldn't call him a refrigerator - at all.
And he uses a grapple. If someone hits him mid-air, perhaps he should be rewarded by a bit more damage? It is a bit challenging, nonetheless.
5% helps marginally. The best case to make use of it is to use flatline - 20 hp body shot allows to down low profile character in 10 hits.
In other weapons it doesn't help that much, i think.
