This thread was created mainly to suggest one change, a rather small one.
Cursed Inferno, in addition to dealing damage over time, would now reduce the afflicted entity's damage output by 20% (rounded up). Not only does it add some variety to the group of mostly identical debuffs consisting of Poison, On Fire!, Venom, Frostburn, and Cursed Inferno, but it gives some incentive to use the Cursed Flames spell in a boss fight, giving it a shot at competing with the Golden Shower in usage and popularity.
I felt that it would be most efficient to add this effect to an existing debuff rather than adding a new one, and besides, we all know that Cursed Inferno needed to be buffed.
But you know me. I'd be a little embarrassed to create a thread that suggests something so simple and easy to add. So, bonus accessory! (One that's somewhat related to the subject, thankfully.)
Cursed Jawbone
Dropped by Giant Cursed Skull, 4%
Debuffs inflicted by the player have no time limit.
Obviously, this is really handy against bosses that aren't immune. I don't think it affects balance by too much, though, since the only two relevant debuffs would be Ichor and Cursed Inferno. If you have an argument about the DoT being overpowered against bosses, please watch @General Milky's 40-minute Plantera kill with a Copper Shortsword before you post here.
(As suggested by @FlakMaster, the Cursed Jawbone can simply double debuff duration against bosses, if that's what people prefer.)
Obviously, an offensive accessory with no tinkers won't be a viable addition. Hello, Charm of Myths!
Necro Ring
Increases health regeneration, reduces Potion Sickness to 45 seconds, and player-inflicted debuffs are permanent.
If the tinker is instead with my Alchemist Charm, the Necro Ring would come with the additional bonus of doubling the duration of buffs.
The Cursed Jawbone isn't an "official" part of this suggestion, which is mainly about Cursed Inferno. Nevertheless, I thought it would be nice to introduce a little controversy. (Baconfry, you strategic bastard!)
Feel free to discuss implications here!
I will note something, and it applies to all current and future threads by all members.
But let's not end on a sour note! Shall we get the ball rolling?

If you're here to voice support and don't have anything else to say, just use the like button. I, personally, do not particularly care about seals of approval, nor about my support level expressed as an arbitrary percentage. What I do like to see is meaningful discussion, perhaps alternate methods or areas of further development. "10/10 full support" does not fit that bill.

I think a loc post is actually more useful than a simple like, but the likes are nice, too.
