Curse

Can anyone tell me what's desired out of it?

Inflicting it on adjacent foes is bad, you're a backliner, not a warrior, even so, why do that if u end up with a negative degen.

EDIT: On that note: why use Envenom enchantments? If you wanted to remove an enchantment, why not remove it all?! Theres no point in saying, oh just leave the rest, we'll leave poison in case he doesnt die after that Aura of Restoration loss at 600 health. Not only that but -4 degen isn't that great, and can be removed easily. Not only so but foes generally dont pack more than one or 2 enchantments, so at 6 duration at 6 curses, you don't get much use from the spell. The 20 second recharge doesn't help either.

I saw this on a bar in HA and wondered about it, the HA meta is full of weirdness but really.

Some skills are bad and i'm sure most of them will stay that way. Because simply put, there are way too many skills in the game. Like burning shield and lamentation and unseen fury and the list goes on and on and on.

Cmon almost 1300 skills is just too much for any game to handle being in balance. It's a mistake anet has admitted of making (putting too many skills into the game), so for bad skills like poisoned heart, those are the ones i like to pretend just don't exist and you should too.

Pretty sure you meant midliner and my guild used it in a sig of toxic shock spike, worked pretty well.

The purpose of bad skills is to both let new players get better through their skill choice, and also to open up some area for thematically cool skills without them getting in the way of balance. Poisoned Heart is a really "cool" skill, it just sucks comparatively speaking.

You don't need to remove all enchantments all the time, because a lot of times they aren't useful enuff to strip them all.

I used to use it on a dervish before they changed it, and it still might work on a D/N but it's kinda meh...

Absolutely nothing,degen is a total waste of time and skill slot/s.Not forgetting to mention the adjacent range..
