Riot wants to tilt Deathfire Touch

@RiotMeddler: "Other likely outliers are Deathfire Touch (probably too strong on DoT champs, potentially too weak on others)"

I feel like a good way to do this would be to have increased damage on the first tick, on something like a 12 second cooldown per enemy, and have the DoT aspect be reduced in power. Making the mastery better for standard mages, but less overbearing on Brand. How would this be received?

Poorly because it would still be an overall nerf. Deathfire grasp as it is is perfectly fine. At the moment, Mages need all the help they can get. I would much rather see ADC changes before mage changes

Deathfire is fine. Brand is the problem. He gets so much free damage it's just absurd. Riot really needs to nerf him.

And by nerf I mean more than just upping his mana costs by 20 on W. Riot removed 1/3 of Morgana's W damage because she was too powerful but brand who is much worse than she ever was and stupidly oppressive right now gets a mana cost increase.

That 20 mana is really going to stop him for dealing 2k damage in 2s.
