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.
