Curse of Doom, or CoD for short, is a warlock Affliction spell that tags a target to be hit with Shadow damage after 60 seconds. If the target dies from the curse, a Doomguard might be summoned.

Notes
Only one Curse per warlock can be active on any one target.
The chance of summoning a Doomguard if the mob dies is 10%.
This spell receives 200% of your +damage/+shadow gear bonus.
The curse is considered a DoT effect, so is incapable of producing a critical hit.
Talent improvement
It has been suggested that Shadow Mastery does not improve this spell.
Amplify Curse increase the damage.
Suppression reduces the target's chance to resist.
Grim Reach increases the range to 33/36 yds.
Improved Drain Soul reduces generated threat.
Tips and tactics
Throw this on a Crowd Controlled or Off-tanked mob in a battle to give it time to proc. Be careful not to use this if the other mobs will take more than 60 seconds to kill, however.
You can throw this on a critter and hope for a proc just before many battles. As of patch 2.3.2, casting on a critter does not actually kill it, and repeated attempts don't seem to proc the spell in this patch.
Try using this just before your main tank charges Darkmaster Gandling in Scholomance.
A warlock can kill many elites solo by using CoD and crowd control.
- Demons & Elementals: Use Banish Rank 1 followed by Rank 2. They add up to 50 seconds; CoD is 60.
- Humanoids: Seduce with your Succubus and/or Fear.
You can put this on elites you are fighting if they will take more than 1 minute to take down, to replace Curse of Agony. However, beware. If your pet is tanking, the Curse of Doom tick will likely make the mob attack you.
