      • Developers’ notes: This is to allow Warlocks who are using Curse of Agony to have a window where they can let their Curse of Agony fully fade, and not lose the raid’s Mark of Chaos debuff before they reapply it. This will eliminate the need to clip the end of a Curse of Agony in order to benefit the raid.
