How buffs and nerfs are worked out
From the numbers, never from the words. A change is a buff when every number that moved moved your way: more damage, healing or effect, a lower cost, cooldown or cast time, a longer duration or range, a higher spell power coefficient, or learned at a lower level or with fewer points in other talents. It is a nerf when every number moved the other way. Anything else is listed as changed: a mix (cheaper but weaker), a tooltip whose words changed, or numbers in other units, such as a cost of 125 Mana that became 8% of base Mana. Read the before and after to judge those. Not listed: Season of Discovery spells left in the client that nobody can learn in Forever, and tooltips whose numbers only grew because the beta's level cap went from 20 to 30 on 2 October.
