Black water shouldn't be nerfed. Black water resist shoes should just be better. Or people should use Kirosh.

It keeps crit evade in check.

No other effect in the game other than maybe buster cannon can completely remove the complete effectiveness of a stat, even in buster cannon's case its not removing the earth ATK associated to DEF, and is only reducing the phys.DEF% provided.

Dark Water is an insanely potent field effect that should be changed for the sake of game health, and even though FAI is in quite a strong spot right now, invalidating someone's entire build by placing the funny water under them is not very good for the continuing health of the tile effect.

It could be more useful if instead Dark Water reduced healing inside of its effective radius, this would not only affect FAI users pretty greatly, but it'd also start tapping into sustain bots without the need of passing a status check.

I see no reason why both of these things can't be changed, dark water to reduce healing potency, and sanctified soles to ignore them, as it stands sanctified soles will never compare to an elemental resistance shoe, elytra or even holy soles+.

Not to dissuade any other point made in the thread mind you, I am simply stating that what you are stating is not the most correct path for Dark Water in my opinion.
