Dotting

In MMORPGs and other games, dotting is the act of inflicting a Damage over Time (DoT) spell or ability on another entity. As the name suggests, DoT abilities deal their total potential damage over a period of time rather than as an instant but non-persistent attack.

1. I managed to shank that bastard Gnome, but he'd just dotted me so we both died.

2. Dotting someone is ~70% less manly than skull-crushing them with a giant mace.
