Curse of Exhaustion is a warlock Curse granted by the [Curses of Enfeeblement] class talent.

Tips and tactics

Many NPCs have a faster baseline running speed than players, making this curse more useful in PvP than in PvE.
This curse can be very useful in catching those enemy players who are trying to escape from you and/or your allies, especially if they're carrying the flag in a battleground.

Known as "CoEx" for short, to avoid confusion with the now removed ability [Curse of the Elements].
Prior to patch 2.0.1, this talent only reduced speed by 10% and required 4 more points in [Improved Curse of Exhaustion] to reduce it by another 5% per point (up to 30%).
