I was hoping that the warning would be more like the red zone in that you could get away, but the thing is that 3/4 of my skills are damage over time which makes that icon worthless nine times out of ten.
imo this curse should never be included on any mobs in the future. It expecially punishes mages as a class probably resulting in more crappy mage builds that try to use shield and heal in misguided attempts to counter this unfare game mechanic.
