As such a base B2W1 mage still won't be able to cast Claws without some form of help (booster, communion, whatever). So CBM has not changed the minimum base requirements for Claws in this sense. (ie. In both vanilla and CBM.1.92 you need a base B3W1 mage if no path boosting is involved)

Fair point, but it's still a bad change since the reduced fatigue means you can script more castings in the first five turns. And the nations that benefit most from this, in particular Jotun with its recruit-everywhere skratti, didn't need the boost. Don't know why this change was made and hopefully it will either be undone or the casting requirements increased.
