I want to ask about curse resist. What does curse resist affect to curse status ?
Is it lower time or lower damage ? If I use full divine set, can I still being cursed with GF/F charge ?
I also wonder which one is better GF or acheron ?

Curse resist will affect the
Curse resist will affect the overall effects of curse:
Curse length, and more importantly, number of items that get cursed.
I'm not sure if the damage you take is based on shadow defense or curse resist though, but wearing angelic/seraphic sets does reduce it.
atm I have lvl 10 Seraphic set and I lose only 1/4 items and 1/2 weapons for about 25-27 secs when I get cursed, which is kind of awesome considering it used to be 3/4 items and both weapons for 40 seconds.

Negative curse resist
I can't comment more than the above on positive resist, but negative definitely messes with the number of items that get cused. I wear one piece of Fallen armor, and if I get cursed, everything is cursed. All 4 weapons, all 4 item slots. And curse generally lasts about 45 sec, but that depends on the source. I just never use Faust/GF charge attack, and have learned to dodge phantom attacks better, so consider that a perfectly acceptable weakness.
Gran Faust vs Acheron: GF is slower, hits a larger area, and has better knockback. Acheron is a 3-strike, and has a more useful charge. Also GF curses enemies sometimes, Acheron does nothing but damage.
I have both, primarily use Acheron because of a UV vs slimes. Otherwise, I'd probably stick with GF for the knock-back and AoE, but it's pure preference.
If Im not misstaken; resistances lowers the chance to get the status effect, and it also lowers the time it affects you.
The damage you take from the status effect is unchanged.
