Curses in Diablo 2 is one of the three skill trees available to the Necromancer, the other two being Poison and Bone Spells and Necromancer Summoning Spells.
Curses are used to debilitate Enemies making them more susceptible to damage or even make them flee in terror. Most Curses do not stack, even when using multiple necromancers.
