Sanctified Shoes+ when? Just slap "+5 Armor" on it and call it a day.

Also, Kirosh doesn't work for passive tile effects iirc. Only ones that would trigger if you walk on them. So yes, counterplay wise things are severely limited here, chief. It's best to just change Dark Water to something less abhorrent in the end.

In what world 'reducing a whole stat investment to 0' is balanced? Like I said too, could affect Bonus FAI, since that's where people crutch the most on when playing Priest. +6 FAI from passive, +5 FAI from staves, +2 FAI from Hikari, +1 FAI from Starsign. All of those would be gone in a blink, but it would also not make the nat investment bite the dust because of funny afro-descendent water.
