Curses are curses, they should be bad why else would it be a curse?

This would be a plausible argument if a detrimental cost didn't also apply to certain enchants (rebelling, mutated, etc). While I understand the need to play devil's advocate, there's absolutely no reason curses shouldn't get a tweaking. As it stands like stated above, Rustic is just a worse version of Reaper. I would also like to see it be revamped so as the game can see some differentiation in terms of popular enchants/curses used.

Curses being bad for the sake of being negative curses doesn't really add anything to the game

The idea of Curses is that they have notable drawbacks for notable benefits, unlike other enchantments. As is, the 'notable' part of most curses is kind of Pre-GR or straight up boring, and needs to be changed.

I only asked for Rustic to give +10 Power because at the moment it doesn't really feel special, thanks to purely beneficial enchantments outperforming it.

Rebellion and Mutated should probably be curses also then.

Personally I think that Cursed should be a downside that is not quite as severe with a marginally worth it upside, and I think "Doomed" suffixes should be much more gimmicky and severe, for example:

Rustic (Doomed):

-Weapon durability is reduced to 4 max, can only be increased by Upgrades. (Reflective of live currently)
-Weapon durability is decreased by 1 whenever a skill or spell is used by this weapon (Can only occur once per attack)
-Weapon cannot be repaired by any source except for Blacksmiths (Repair costs are increased by 5x)
-Weapon gains Brittle tag (+30% Main stat scaling)

There you go, you have a funny meme stick that is assured to break after 9 attacks, I'm sure there is meme potential here without making it quite too good, you might get weapon swap shenanigans but in the pursuit of 'for fun' I'd still say its a pretty good gimmick.

This is what I think 'doomed' should be like, gameplay altering effects that cause you to interact with your weapon or even piece of armor differently.

Perhaps there could be other gimmicks like a global curse that causes you to be unable to unequip a gear piece when put on until it is purified by a purging flame.

Pretty sure rustic in live also gets boosted by weapon parts or something, unless that was changed.
Seems pretty pretty pretty dangerous for rustic to be THAT strong. . .But it would also be interesting and game changing. Though then at that point, it becomes very annoying to actually grind with your rustic tome. So then it just becomes a pvp tool.

Could be interesting. And its better than just giving +30 power, which would break tactician orders.

Only thing you need to worry about is anyone running high skill Rustic Hexer build potentially. Then again I never found any of the curses rather useful with our sheer amount of positive enchantments we got access to. Not to mention Reaper +5 Power, which in the end makes you really question it when you finally figure out that weapon power is added on at the end of calculations. So really increasing a bit from Rustic for capping durability wouldn't even matter long term. Since, hey look +8 power for 4 Dura max! That is a potential 3 more damage...Doesn't sound all that broken.
