DFT is too nerfed for DoT mages

I think its way overnerfed since only DoT mages use it. brand is the reason it got nerfed so much. then just nerf brand. don't let other mages that didn't exploit it suffer. I mean its barely anything on DoT mages. it needs to be brought back to what it used to. because thunderlords just does more damage even for DoT mages and now its 15 second cooldown on max level makes it the obvious choice. frevor is really good for auto attackes. especially mele. hell warlords is really good again too. not op but right spot. stormraiders only works on tahm kench and a cpl other champs. tank keystones are good as they are. even though bond of stone needs a lil buff. but dft isn't in a good spot right now. zed is better off with it than say swain honestly. and its better to use thunderlords on zed.

DFT is great atm and since I have to again lemme copy paste once more

"DFT is only good if 30% of your AD exceeds 180 (Jhin) or 90(if you can keep spells on an enemy team longer then 6-8 seconds) (So 600 AD or 300 AD if you have sustain spell damage like lucian/mf/corki which can keep you safe) or if 15% of your ap is 180 (Veigar/maybe cassi) or 90(So 1200 AP or 600 if you can keep spells ticking the the enemy team consistently/sustained damage for 6-8 seconds minimally so brand, swain, anivia, rumble, cassi, karthus, kat, malz, morg, AP nasus, fiddle, zyra plants and lastly teemo)

Additionally for mages the 7% magic penetration is diminished with purchase of void staff so the flat 8 penetration is better until 200 MR which their regular targets wouldn't have anywhere near and some really love the extra 5% CDR like zil/ryze etc.

TL;DR aside from Jhin, MF, Lucian, Corki, Veigar, brand, swain, anivia, rumble, cassi, karthus, kat, malz, morg, AP nasus, fiddle, zyra and lastly teemo thunderlords is better for early-mid and safely proc'ing along with better masteries beforehand."
