Player curse limit 2 AND spectre curse limit 1 = 3 or 2 curses at once on an enemy ?

Does a player curse-limit of 2 and 1 curse-cursing-spectre equals 3 curses on one enemy at once ?

Or does the one spectre curse override my two player curses on an enemy ?

(I know spectre curses are substantially weaker then maxed out player
curses, but three on one enemy is better then two)

The curse limit of spectre overrides your curse limit
You'll only be able to have 2 curses between you and your spectre. If you want to do two and also have a spectre do one, you'll need to bump your curse limit to 3.

@ imanubcake + aggromagnet

we have conflicting statesments (you cant be both right) and conflicting
evidence, just look here:

https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/2856961/page/2


so, ..

1. does one curse spectre always overrides my chars multiple curse ability,
so only one applies in total (which would be bad)

or

2. a spectre is it a separate entity whichs has no influence on my curse
limit at all


or


3. a spectre uses one curse of my curse limits and does not override ANY
of my curses

Player+minion curses function exactly the same as party play. Your limit doesn't add together with another player's limit or a minion's limit. The member of the "group" with the highest curse limit sets the maximum possible curses the group can apply. If the highest limit anyone in the group has is 2, that's the most curses the group can collectively apply (but individual limits still apply to individual players/minions).

The problem with curse minions, if you also want to use curses yourself, is you have no control over them. They will cast over your curses any chance they get if the group limit isn't high enough to accommodate both theirs and yours.

It's very easy to go and test this for yourself.

I am fairly certain that this is not quite correct.

The applicable limit is the one of the source of the last applied curse. So if someone with a limit of 1 curse applies their curse to a target that has more than 1 curse already, only the last one will be applied and the others will be removed.

Minions share your curse limit rather than having their own, which is why you and a spectre can both apply a curse in any order without raising the curse limit of the spectre, so long as your own limit is not 1.
so, no clarity and agreement after all :)

This is what I want.. + I would like to know, how it plays out, if it is possible or not:


My char with myself on the button wants to apply TWO curses at once

+

One spectre should apply a third curse..


consequence/wishfull thinking: Any monster should be cursed three times at once


A.

Does this really work with a curse limit of three, or will my spectre override my chars two curses and the monster suddenly has only one curse sign over his head ?

Will it be overridden by the spectre or not ?


B.

Does it work with a two curse limit, because my spectre adds his as a new entity and it is not overriden (I guess not).

Since you and your spectre share the same curse limit of 2, the spectre will override the older of the two curses that you applied.

If the spectre did not share your limit, it would remove both.
It seems it also depends on the minions. Some appear to have higher curse limit.
