Doom is a Demonology warlock talent.

Notes

Though the debuff is a curse effect, Doom is not exclusive and will stack with other curses cast by the warlock (such as [Curse of Weakness]).

Background

This ability was used by the Pit Lord unit in Warcraft III. It marks a target unit for the manifestation of a Demon. The afflicted unit will take damage per second until it dies. Upon its death, a great Demon will spawn from its corpse.
