A line counts as a buff or a nerf only when Blizzard gives the old and new number, or a plain direction for cost, cooldown, damage, healing or duration. A line about an effect laid on someone else (a slow, a healing reduction, damage taken) counts as a change. Fixes and reworks never count. Score: buffs minus nerfs.
Warrior4 linesWarrior calculator
-
Demoralizing Shout: Fixed an issue where it generated no threat. Now puts some threat on all affected targets. -
Deep Wounds is once again a required talent to reach 
Impale. -
Fixed a bug where
Deep Wounds was scaling with attack power for your Offhand weapon.- Developers’ notes: Deep Wounds does not scale with Attack Power but is a rolling DoT compared to Classic/Vanilla.
- Developers’ notes:
-
Last Stand Fixed an issue causing
Last Stand to not grant the correct amount of health to the player on activation.
Paladin5 linesPaladin calculator
-
Fixed an issue with
Retribution Aura that caused it to use the target being struck’s spell power instead of the casting Paladin’s spell power. -
The base damage of
Retribution Aura has been returned to the Vanilla WoW values (about a 33% reduction) and the spell power ratio has been reduced to 6% (was 13.3%). -
Reckoning: Now has a 1.5 second cooldown on how often it can be triggered. -
Fixed an issue where
Seal of Fury was granting Mana back to the Paladin even if the 
Improved Seal of Fury talent was not active. - Improved Seal of Fury and
Shield Specialization no longer generate threat when restoring Mana.- Developers’ notes: Paladins restoring enough Mana to sustain combat while tanking was causing more threat to be generated than intended.

Penance spell damage and healing to resolve a bug where it was being treated like a 3-second channel instead of a 2 -second channel. - Penance

Penance mana costs so that it has a consistent advantage in mana efficiency over the Heal/
Greater Heal family of spells. Rank 1 mana cost was increased by 50%. - Penance
Healing done by
Penance has been increased on Penance ranks 2 and 4.
Shaman6 linesShaman calculator
-
Flametongue Totem will now correctly use the target’s attack speed if they are Shapeshifted, instead of using the speed of their equipped weapon. -

Druid11 linesDruid calculator
-
Fixed a bug where Druids couldn’t use Mana Potions while in Bear/Dire Bear/
Cat Form. -
Additional Rage generated from landing Critical Strikes increased to 100% increased Rage (Was 75%).
-
The base damage of
Thorns has been returned to the Vanilla WoW values and the spell power ratio has been reduced to 6% (was 13.3%). -
Fixed an issue where
Cat Form was reducing your maximum health. -
Bear Form and Dire Bear Form: Threat bonus increased to 50% from 30%. -
The effects that override shapeshifting now more closely resemble Classic wow.
- Developers’ notes: The Druid’s form is a critical piece of information in combat and preserving the ability for players to see what form the Druid is currently in is important. We appreciate the desire for Druid players to still transform, so there are effects that will still work, it is just now much more limited and largely based on if that transform has other benefits (for example, Noggenfogger Elixir will still transform you because it lets you breathe underwater.)
-
Demoralizing Roar: Fixed an issue where it generated no threat. Now puts some threat on all affected targets. -
Wrath: The base points and points per level of ranks 1-5 of this spell have been adjusted to make the growth rate of ranks 1-6 more consistent, and new ranks always an upgrade. -
Predatory Instincts: This talent has been renamed “
Natural Instinct” and now also increases spell healing by 12/25% of Intellect. -
Shifting Power can no longer be used while already at Full Energy. -
Thick Hide: This talent is now properly implemented in code, rather than script, resolving some bugs with equipping gear while shapeshifted not triggering it.
