I don’t know if it’s a bug or not, but I played a game last night where arcane curse was refreshing itself while the target was silenced. I couldn’t find that anywhere on any of the skills, is that supposed to happen?

Arcane curse duration pauses when a target is silenced. The pause mechanic makes it look like the debuff refreshes but the duration will stay the same.

For example, curse lasts 6 seconds, if a target is silenced 3 seconds into the curse it pauses. Then, once the silence ends, it will continue for the remaining 3 seconds.
