Assassin Fade not clearing curses faster as stated

The assassin fade skill is supposed to dispel curses inflicted on the caster much faster than without. This still doesn’t work.

Casting fade with a full party cursed should relieve me of my curse faster than my hirelings and summons, but it doesn’t. The curse status will vanish after a long time, at the same time as everyone else.

I made this same post 3 years ago. Sad to see it hasn’t been fixed.

Sorry but this is not correct.

Fade does reduce the duration of a curse but only when Fade was active BEFORE you got cursed. Old Arreat Summit hints at this behavior by stating this:

Fade reduces Shrine duration by the same percentage as it reduces curse duration. To avoid shortend Shrine duration, cast Burst of Speed before touching the shrine; once you touched the Shrine, cast Fade again.

So casting Fade AFTER touching a shrine prevents it’s duration from being shortend. Since the same is true for curses this also means that casting Fade AFTER being cursed does not reduce curse duration.
