some weapons say they have a chance to cause something. Im curious how high is the percentage of Chance bacause my faust keepcursing me instead of the enemies. My curse to get cursed ratio 1:10
probability
Gwen is right, but still 1:10? lol you either are the unluckiest person on Earth or did the math wrong.
I always use the charge at mobs and at least 1 comes cursed with me.
Out of curiosity, what armor are you wearing?
I find that my Faust curses me so rarely, that I use the charge without thinking.
I do wear at least one armor piece (if not 2) (like Divine Veil or Divine/Seraphic) with curse resistance when I equip the Faust so I'm thinking that this definitely plays a part.
Curse resistance most certainly affects the probability of becoming cursed because that is precisely the status resist function of armor; to directly impact the probability of the status in question.
To think otherwise seemed impossible but wonders never cease.
Without curse resist at all I'd say i get the status 1 in 4 tries. Haven't actually tested it properly.
BTW i forgot to mention to the OP: some monsters like zombies cant be cursed...(but noone should use a faust against them anyways)
The 2nd swing can not curse YOU, but it is the only normal attack that can curse monsters.
Also, what armor are you using? If you are using Fallen set, Shadowsun set, or Chaos set then you up your chances significantly of receiving curse as all have negative resist to it.

The only way a Faust can curse you is if you are using the charge attack. Most people do not use the Faust charge for that very reason.
