Why Idle This?
Cursed Forest is mainly cleared for the 
Curse Masks. These have 1% dr over the previous BIS gear and apply a curse when the enemy spawns.
Voodoo Trinket is obtained during this dungeon and is required for a smooth 
Throne of the Herald fight.- Once cleared 100 times, the
Despair Curse is unlocked and will be used against enemies with high health, as it does percentage based damage.
Dungeon Mechanics
- This dungeon's gimmick is that all enemies are immune to curses and attack styles other than magic. As such, you will need to use the
Magic to clear this dungeon - Cursed Forests's final enemy,
Lady Darkheart has a passive effect which gives them +500% curse lifesteal. Additionally, they have 3 attacks which will apply curses to you, and another attack which deals double damage if you are cursed. The lifesteal by iteself already makes this boss incredibly annoying, and the double damage requires you to balance survivability and damage output.

Idle Gear
- For spells, use
Dragon Storm Call and 
Surge II - Use Damage Reduction Potion IV for 10% extra DR.
- Note that if you are able to squeeze in a little more DR,
Superior Max Skillcape is a direct and substantial upgrade to 
Skull Cape. However, since it provides 0% DR, it is sometimes hard to reach the DR requirement if you're using it.
