Someone I was playing with had told me that when becoming cursed from their Gran Faust, all of his weapons get cursed, and I found this strange because whenever I get cursed, it's always only one weapon (and one or two vials, if I have them).
Is this a bug I have/this guy had? Was there a mistake? Or is this dependent on resistances?
Curse resistance affects both the amount of items cursed and the duration of the curse. If you have no curse resistance at all and are hit by a regular curse, then you will have 2 weapons and 3 vial slots cursed for around 40 seconds. If you have around 4 bars of curse resistance total and are hit by a regular curse, you will have only 1 weapon slot cursed at random and 2 vial slots cursed at random for about 30 seconds.
Curse resistance also affects the % chance of receiving a curse when using a charge attack from the faust or gran faust. I do not know these numbers off-hand, but it is possible to become 100% immune from self curse given enough curse resistant items.
This is just for regular curses, the penalties from strong curse would obviously be much higher, but I don't know any specifics right now. And although I haven't come across a weak curse yet (or havent paid enough attention), but I'm sure there's something that can apply a weak curse out there.
Happy fausting ^^
When I do Graveyards and a Phantom hits me with its charged attack I only have 1 out 2 weapons cursed. I don't know if Gran Faust's curse is the same as Phantoms curse though. Maybe it will always leave you with one weapon available?
I can confirm that faust will curse both weapons if you only have 2 weapons equipped.
Maybe it is that Phantom's Striker-like swords (I am in T2) isn't as powerful as Faust.
Holy crap, 40 seconds? I better not charge at all, or just go with avenger.
So question now is: how many weapon slots does your friend have, if its 4 does he have negative curse resist and finally how much curse resistence does your own gear have?
This guy had two weapon slots, but I don't know about his curse resist. I had three and full curse resist.
So, yeah. I suppose what someone had said about resistances earlier was true.
I can confirm what Twagz is true. I use 4 weapon slots and using the Gran faust, it usually curses 2 of my weapons and 3 vial slots. However, it rarely curses the faust itself so for 40 seconds that I am cursed... I can spam the gran faust as much as I please ^_^. I don't have any curse resistance and I doubt I ever need any, but having 4 weapon slots seem to help alot :D
Happy Fausting :P
Its a bug you have, curse curses 2 weapons < if you have 3 you will have 1 un-cursed but i dont know about 4> and all but one of your vials unless its a monster curse, then it depends on the strength of thier curse, if its from faust, its always the above stated
