Curse limit with Mercenary

Hello,

Let's assume I have only the default limit for number of curse (1).
And my mercenary has Windscream boots, so his curse limit is now 2.

Now let's assume he hits a monster first, and applies both curses.
If I hit the same monster just after, will my own limit "override" the number of curses for this monster (he will only have my curse) ?

What shall I do if I want all 3 curses (1 from me and 2 from my mercenary) to be applied on the monster ? Is it enough to give him (for example) the amulet enchantment for +1 curse ?

Either the merc or you would have to have a max curse limit of 3.

Windscream, Doedre ring or the amulet anoint ahould all work - havent tested the anoint personally tho. The rest I did test and it works.

Anathema Ring works perfect on the merc to get him to 3 curses max.

Thanks, so to make sure I perfectly understand : the curse limit is "applied" to the monster by the owner of this limit, and the monster can't lose the curses if he's hit by another character with lower limit ?

I have some trouble to understand the logic from the naming of the affix "You can apply an additional Curse". But as long as it works with 3 distinct curses (one from me and two from mercenary) it's OK :)

Yes indeed, but it's not an option for me, because I'm using rings with -% to lightning resistance, along with Doryani's Prototype. My character is mainly delivering lightning damage.

Exactly.

At least one of the allies applying curses has to have a high enough max curses available to make sure all curses shared across the allies do apply.

If the total amount of curses across all allies exceeds the max curse limit, well then curses will override each other.

Thank you very much !

I just gave some gloves with Enfeeble on Hit and Windscream to my Mercenary.
Works like a charm !
