The last few weeks, I have enjoyed using my very high curse resistance Ash Tail set, along with my Faust. Before tonight's update, the curse resistance made me invulnerable to the self-curse inflicted by the Faust special... Now, however, the UV seems to have no effect, as I get cursed 20-25% of the time just as a Faust user with no curse resistance would. ( http://wiki.spiralknights.com/Talk:Faust ; http://wiki.spiralknights.com/Talk:Gran_Faust )

Are UV's simply broken right now?

Is anyone else having problems with their UV's?

Or... is the curse chance of Faust simply much higher now?

Any input from Faust\Gran Faust\UV owners or developers would be great!

Thanks!

Curse resist reduces the the

Curse resist reduces the the duration of your curse status. It doesn't reduce the rate of self-infliction.

@darbish

That isn't necessarily true. Before UVs were giving double the resistance they were supposed to. If he is now getting cursed with half of that resistance then that means that it does affect how often you can get cursed. This would line up with other status effects, as well. In the ATH when I wear a Volcanic Salamander Mask and my Volcanic Demo Suit with Medium Fire Resist variant I cannot be set on fire at all.

You're probably getting hit

You're probably getting hit with a fire status, it's just that your resist is so high you're enduring it for 0 seconds.

Except the icon does not

Except the icon does not display above my health bar. I believe I am only getting hit by the blast of the fire grate, as it does significantly more damage than a single burn tick can.
