Curse Limit and Mechanics

Suppose two players are in a party together:
Player #1 has a curse limit of 4.
Player #1 has 3 curses active through Blasphemy Support.
Player #2 has the default curse limit of 1.

Will Player #2 be able to apply a curse with Mark on Hit Support given that enemies are already affected by 3 curse auras, which (according to the wiki) take priority over the Mark on Hit Support, and which exceed Player #1's own curse limit?

Curse auras will keep overriding other source of curses, using curse limit from the aura source. In your example, #2 cannot apply whatever curses he has to a mob in range of auras from #1.

If #1 had 3 self-cast curses used on a mob instead of auras, #2 would remove them all and apply his mark/hex, with his own curse limit. Curse limit does not stack in party, whoever casts last uses his limit.

One case I don't know is if several players have different curse auras on them, no idea how exactly the resulting effective curse would be chosen per given mob.

It's a little sad thar curse auras rank higher in priority than self casts or curse on hits. I think it would make sense for "auto curses" to rank lowest. But it is how it is.

According to the wiki, enemy curse limit is set by the highest curse limit in the party, but each player can't exceed their own individual limit. I would have thought that your example would result in only the oldest curse being removed/replaced.

I guess there's a reason that I find curse interaction mechanics a bit confusing.
