To be completely honest, and this isn't a popular opinion but I enjoy the eye system despite the fact that there are glaring flaws that I wont deny exists purely because it actually rewards critical thinking. What I don't like is that DRG is so weak. Call me an elitist but if DRG remained completely the same but had comparable ceilings to the other melee dps then I would be 100% ok with that. I don't speak for everyone but I like playing DRG and most likely if not for parsers I wouldn't have an issue. That being said Nastrond needs a significant buff. Just make it like Guren and drop off damage for extra targets while making the main target take max damage.

I had an idea to make it more of a fun ability but it probably wouldn't be good in execution: Nastrond does 320 Potency + the duration left on LotD x10 on the first target and etc. This would make a max duration nastrond 620 potency and if it is done asap, it would be 520 and 420 (optimal conditions, not accounting for any server delay shit) but that would just be a gimmicky way of making it around 500 potency. This is around a 50% increase in damage which is huge, probably overpowered as nastrond is currently roughly 4% damage in a fight with near maximum usage (Susano, you only really lose one but on Lak you lose BotD completely along with any eyes) and that equated to about 90k damage based on that run (should probably average them out but this is from a 98 percentile run) so with this buff it would add about 50k damage accounting for the increase in Dhit and Chit damage and added multipliers from all the other shiz).

This is sneezed on tissue paper math so I anyone wants to go in more detail feel free. That being said I do feel that nastrond isn't the only thing that is weak so if they do buff its damage they want to make it well rounded.
