			=== Curses ===
			* [[Festering Curse (Spell)\|Festering Curse]] - Lowers the amount of health regained via spells, heal kits, or potions on the target. Not very useful in pvm yet.
			* [[Weakening Curse (Spell)\|Weakening Curse]] - Lowers the damage output of the target. Useful on boss type creatures that do a lot of damage such as [[Undead Commander]]s. Try to fit them in whenever the situation calls for it.

	== More DoTs = More Damage ==		== Playing your Void Mage efficiently ==
			=== More DoTs = More Damage ===
			Adding to Void's interesting repertoire is the ability to increase damage for anyone attacking the target that a void mage has landed DoTs upon.

	Each DoT applied adds an incoming damage modifier to the target. With all 3 level 8 DoTs applied to a target, the target will give +27 damage [[Rating]] to anyone attacking it. (This translates to roughly 21% damage boost, see [http://forums.ac.turbine.com/showpost.php?p=545798&postcount=3 Noworries'] post on the official forums)		Each DoT applied adds an incoming damage modifier to the target.

	== PVP ==		In group fights, the void mage plays somewhat of a support role in increasing the damage of the entire fellowship.
	* [[Destructive Curse (Spell)]] is a direct cast spell, and not dodge-able up close, however the range is very small, and can be avoided easily.
			=== High Health Target ===
			When fighting against a single high health target, efficiently managing your DoTs can maximize your damage output. The idea is to have your DoTs continually ticking away while you throw in nether bolts when possible. Take into account that Destructive Curse, and Corruption both last for 30 seconds, and Corrosion lasts for 15. Also, the wind up speed for a level 7 or 8 spell is 4 seconds.

			Below is an efficient cast order that is repeatable. Managing mana and stamina will cause you to break this loop up, I would suggest trying to fit the stamina to mana, and revitalize spells in place of nether bolts as not to have your dots drop off.

			=== Multiple Low Health Targets ===
			Try to position your targets in front of you, this way your blast type spells can hit multiple targets. Once your targets are in front of you, use your Corruption spell to get multiple dots going. Now you can either hit each individual with Corrosion, or Destructive Curse and watch them die, or you can use the Nether Blast or Clouded Soul spell to deal direct damage to your already "corrupted" targets. If completely surrounded, it may benefit you to use your Corruption spell in multiple directions to deal damage to the whole group before using Clouded Soul.
