Is it worth it? If it were to tick every second, the spell would total 170 potency if it were to run its full duration.
But it DOESN'T tick every second, does it?

All DoTs tick every 3 seconds, but on server time.
This means it does only 70 potency total over its duration.
Which makes it both more costly and less damaging than Ruin, thus is not used normally.
However its duration can be extended by Garuda's contagion, so it is used with contagion, extending the duration to 30 seconds, and making it do 120 potency.
Still awful, no matter what Kevee says, but is mathematically a dps increase.
^wow talk about a failure in math. It's not about the damage on one particular DoT, but a cumulative total and don't forget DoT can proc critical. But anyways w/e.
It's only worth using on multiple mobs. Normally i only bother on 3 or more if I'm setting DoTs, or in WP I'll spam it if our pull is big enough after I've applied everything else and bane
