Do Marks Count as Curses Poe?
The answer to the question of whether marks count as curses in Path of Exile (Poe) is straightforward: yes, marks are a type of curse. They are a subset of curse skills and share the curse cap with Hexes, meaning that a monster can have only one curse debuff at a time, though this cap can be increased with various skills or items.
Understanding Marks and Curses
Marks are a specific type of curse that has its own maximum cap of 1, meaning only one Mark from any source can be active at all times, even with an increased curse limit.
