Isn't the reflection of a dot attack a dot attack again? And with that fact the curse skill is capable of dot? Just saying, the discussion shouldn't be about the definition but about wether it is a balance breaker.

I could not care less about pvp adjustments, as long as pve is untouched. With the curse mage in the new maps imho it's obvious Glowsticks aa is designed exactly for what it does.
We get a nerf/buff thread for every new high profile pet almost immediately on release and all i am asking is taking time to adapt and see if Glowtick also shows a weakness for his strenghts before the nerf threads go up. And since damage over time clearly is contained in the range of damage types Glowstick can deliver, the definition of dot is not the best case to build an argument for the pet.
I'm really sorry I'm going off topic, but it's bitter and funny how almost no one said that about Fenris.

Back on topic, here's my opinion:
DOT means damage over time, and you could consider curse a DOT... But I think the fact that DOT is mostly used to describe "constant damage over time" should override that. It's not the first time the meaning of a word (well... Acronym in this case) has shifted its meaning, right? Maybe it should remove reflected DOT (cursed player uses Fireball, only the initial impact is reflected)... Although tbh that sounds a bit too complex.
I don't know if I'm wrong, I don't have nearly as much experience in games as some do, but that's the impression I got.

And since damage over time clearly is contained in the damage types Glowstick can return, the pure definition of dot and the usually very short description on the pet are not the best arguments to build a case for the nerf.
the curse from bosses such as the first boss of orc maps and the one from graveyard is not working properly cause it should work like reflected so if you just stand there without attacking or pressing skills you should not recieve any sort of damage instead it drains health like it's juice.
In PVE is fine glowstik should be the same as it is .. in pvp it destroy a mage's skill which deem useless and hardly anyone uses it now.... Dev should check the sorcerer's curse in line with the PVE mobs boss curse in the new map that deal the same damage and reflect damage.
The issues with the sorceror's curse skill are that
1. The amount of damage returned to the cursed target does not scale appropriately to the damage dealt to the sorceror.
2. The cap on the amount of returned damage to the cursed target makes it useless vs skills with high damage on a single hit (yes I'm talking about aimed shot).
Either increase the cap on damage returned or increase the amplification factor on the damage returned, and curse could be more useful again. It could be done in a small adjustment like the way razor shield was slightly buffed (even though not many people use it still). Could not only restore the relevance of the skill in PvP, but in PvE as well. It would be nice to see an effective PvE mage build with curse.
Why do we fall? So that we can rise again.
From what I see is the curse from bosses and mobs is completely different from the skill curse.

I don't see where your above comments fit, but I do see that the devs commented on many threads but this one. Maybe this says something about your original question in op, maybe glowstik performs the way he should. Have you pm'd a dev directly? Try that instead of insulting another forumer
