Damage Over Time

Damage over time effects, often abbreviated as DoT, are status effects that are applied to a target, reducing their Health until the effect expires or is removed. In Pirates Online, DoT effects cannot reduce a target's health to zero, leaving it at 1 health point.

There are two different DoT conditions:

Poison
Poisons are substances that are harmful to living creatures.

Pirates can poison an enemy with the Adder skill.

Enemies that use poison in battle:
 * Dagger users
 * Scorpions
 * Wasps

Acid
Strong acids can burn through many kinds of materials, including tissue.

Pirates can inflict acid burns to an enemy with the Pestilence skill.
