What platform are you running Path of Building on?

Windows

What is the value from the calculation in-game?

Temporal Chains 1/0
Hextouch 1/0
Less Duration 21/20
Swift affliction 1/0

With old numbers from hextouch lv1 (50% reduced duration), the calculated duration modifier is 0.15, which should result in 0.75s curse duration

Other effects on Cursed enemies expire 25% slower

Slower expiration rate of effects: Temporal Chains causes duration effects to expire more slowly, including debuffs and Brands, but not the duration of the curse itself.

So temporal chains curse effect duration is not affected by the curse itelf

What is the value from the calculation in Path of Building?

In PoB, the calculation does not respect the behaviour of Temporal Chains in terms of curse duration, instead it applies the debuff expires slower multiplier which results in a skill duration of 0.924s instead of the correct 0.75s

Research direction

Load the linked PoB build code and compare the in-game duration values with Path of Building's calculation for Temporal Chains, Hextouch, Less Duration, and Swift Affliction. Trace the Temporal Chains duration calculation and verify that the curse's own duration is excluded from the slower-expiration modifier. Done means the calculated duration matches the reported 0.75s result.
