Doom

__NOTOC__
== Description ==
Doom is a harmful status effect that spells certain doom for those afflicted unless it is removed. Afflicted characters have a timer that counts down. If this timer runs out, the character dies.
== How to remove the effect ==
*The White Magic spell Cursna may remove this effect.
*Holy Water may remove this effect.
However, note that these methods can fail to remove Doom and may require multiple casts or uses.
Note: Many times the affected player will "narrowly escape doom" if the Yagudo NM dies in a timely manner (Dynamis only).
== How the effect is inflicted/gained ==
 
=== Monster Abilities ===
*Taurus - Mortal Ray
*Yagudo - Doom (only used by NM Yagudo in Dynamis)
*Lamia No.3 - Additional Effect on Melee Attacks, Grim Reaper
*Boreal Hound (If the fight lasts 30+ minutes)
*Boreal Tiger (If the fight lasts 30+ minutes)
*Boreal Coeurl (If the fight lasts 30+ minutes)
== How to avoid the effect ==
The ability Mortal Ray used by Taurus is a Gaze Attack, meaning, the monster and its target must be face-to-face for the ability to take efffect. Because of this, just like all other Gaze Attacks, there are three ways to prevent being Doomed: 
*Tanking backwards 
*Turning around before the ability is used
*Using Blinding Potions 
Keep in mind when trying to turn around to avoid the effect, the player must have quick reflexes and turn as soon as the "Taurus readies Mortal Ray" message appears in the chat log. If he/she turns as the monster uses its ability, it will likely still take effect.
