It is a buff in most cases, you lose 40 hp per 100 AP so thats 240-280 endgame. Might seem like alot but because the ult cost is completely removed, tides costs 25% less @ 4 stacks and a better early game thanks to lower cooldown at early transfusion. Still using the same build as before and still loving it. The only case in which it could be considered a nerf is if you get focused alot and you die before you can get any abilities off.
