Possible Fix against over cursing

This thing is just a pain in the ass for curse oriented-build
For those who still don't know, when someone is casting a curse, it is added to the curse pool and will replace an already more powerful one. Then the limit of curse on enemy this person dispose off (usually one) is applied. Trust me, this is your worst nightmare.

This should be well known for every curse user including me.
My suggestion would be that curses from Curse on Hit can't overwrite curses casted manually.
Feedback is welcome.

Bump!

Its a good idea, but TBH in parties or even solo you should be planning around it. It really isn't that hard to take out your curse gem if you aren't the one designated to be "cursing"

Yes, it would be as easy as that. Taking out the gem but two problems:
1. problem (minor): no xp for the curse
2. problem (the real issue): random people don't do that, they want there one single curse instead of someone else casting two other curses... or they are just to lazy...

1) if its a CWDT gem it probably doesn't need anymore XP :D

2) don't party with random people that are lazy :D

It's about curse on hit and curses triggered by that gem. What has that to do with CWDT?

Ok, I misread you post and assumed you were talking about the more popular cwdt used to curse enemies.

Are you really purposing that someone that manually cast should override a curse on hit but not CWDT setup?

When I use a multicurse build, I always use Curse on Hit to apply them. By the time you cast cuses manually in a party, the monsters are already dead. It would royally bite if somebody manually cast a curse on monsters and then I couldn't slap a bunch of curses on the monsters with Arc or whatever skill I use to apply them.

Many leagues ago I used a shield that had a chance to cast Enfeeble. Sometimes people in a party didn't like that at all. Can't just remove a gem in that case.

I think, although not ideal, that the best solution would be to keep the higher max number of curses on a monster so only one of the curses of a multicurser gets overwritten.
