How do you beat a mage that uses curse

[falmear]

1) Remove all dot damage on skills
2) Use misty to remove curse. If you want to "cheat" dismiss/summon misty to reset cool down.
3) Time your shield with your opponents curse since shield is effective counter to curse
4) Slow play your attacks. If you don't attack then curse doesn't do anything. Start to count down and when curse has 2-3 seconds, start attacking.
5) Stun your opponent with a pet like samael or slag and don't attack this will shave off a few seconds.
6) Have a warrior use charged horn of renewal while cursed.
7) Avoid being cursed. The mage needs to be close, in a 1v1 battle this can be hard. But in a group fight, its easier to dodge curse.
