| What is the difference between curse and weakness? |
https://www.lordswm.com/help.php?section=31
Curse Mana cost 4 (Level 1)
Decreases the maximal damage of an enemy stack.
Duration spell.
Maximal damage is reduced down to max-T*(max-min), while T depends on the Darkness magic talent level.
Weakness Mana cost 5 (Level 3)
The spell weakens target enemy stack by decreasing its Attack.
Duration spell. |
| Curse is awesome against some stacks (berserkers, crossbows), while useless against others (angels, lores). Weakness is great no matter what you cast it on. |

It's only marginally effective against low attack units with no heroes. :p |
| Dark build is PvP oriented anyway; it is only suitable in PvE when thieving. |

Wow, how did you get to level 10 without knowing the difference between Attack and Damage?
If you look at each creature's stats, you'd see a value for Attack (e.g. 6), and a range of value for Damage (eg. 6-13). Have you never wondered what they mean? You might want to read this:

hey calm down, no need for that snide remark... I never really knew, or cared, to learn in depth stuff like that, and i'm pretty decent in pvp and ST's....so... |

Everybody has blind spots regarding there LWM knowledge (maybe you are the amazing exception that knows all)
Best way to learn is to ask, but that don't work if people make condescending remarks to make them self feel good...
----------------
Curse affect the base damage, making the maximum damage closer to the minimum.
That is mostly effective versus creatures with a relatively large difference in minimum damage and maximum damage. For example x-bows with 2-8 in damage that will change to 2-2 with expert darkness curse
Weakness effect the attack modifier, in PvP, Monsters Quest and TG that is always a good way to bring down the damage.
Don't know if my explanation make sense, otherwise read in forum, help section and try to do/view battles with darkness and see the effect it has |
| Are you guys so easily offended (and so quick to throw back obnoxiously offensive comments)? Can't a guy ask a wondering question out loud? |
but what exactly is the difference between reducing attack and reducing damage both means the same
When you decrease attack, the damage reduction is roughly always the same. When you decrease damage, the decrease depends on the range of dmg. When you pick crossbows, with 2-8 damage, the average value is 5. If you curse at 100% value, dmg turns to 2-2, thus a 60% dmg decrease.
With genies (range 12-14) average value turns from 13 to 12, ie. ~ 8% decrease. |
thanks all of u for helping me out.
Can't a guy ask a wondering question out loud?
for this- yes u can but u must ask it in such a way that it is not so harsh. |

And telling people how they must or should behave is a fine way to endear yourself to some people. No one will find that offensive, no sir.
Seriously, though:

When someone says or does something that hurts your pride, it's not always because they hate you or because they're on an ego trip. Maybe that's just the way they talk. Let it slide. Come up with a witty comeback and the forums will be a funner place! XD |
