What Does This Mean?
Short for "healing over time" (also written "heal over time"): a healing effect that restores health gradually over a set period instead of instantly. It is the counterpart of a DoT, and healers talk about "rolling HoTs" on teammates.
REAL-WORLD EXAMPLE
""The healer kept a HoT on the tank so the spike damage would not kill him.""
LORE & ORIGIN
Wikipedia's glossary of video game terms defines heal over time (HoT) as an effect that restores health gradually over a set period, and as the opposite of damage over time. The glossary gives no origin or first use. It is an acronym with a plain technical meaning, so the entry is weak on slang specifics; the "rolling HoTs" phrasing is not documented in the sources opened.
