Cure for Blackwater Misery

I would love to see a cure for Blackwater Misery... Maybe a necklace or something, that offsets it. Because all their stuff is good, but that cost is staggering. Maybe something for the developers to work on in the future?

Hello GwenFreya, and welcome to the forums.

Blackwater misery does not stack, so you get it only once, no matter how many BWM items you use. If you use only one, the cost is very high. If you use many, it is not high. That is the point of it, and this will not change with anything that offsets it. With the BWM gear, it's all or nothing.

Blackwater builds are outstanding! Once you try it you'll never go back.

I'll try it... I just hate losing my attack chance... I'm currently level 58? 59? Something like that. I'm happy it doesn't stack. When I get to Blackwater again, I'll pick all their items. Currently grinding the Arulir cave...

Well, at you your level it doesn't matter what gear you use. As you are overpowered for all content to date.

When I first played this game, I too had stayed away from them. Only when I read about blackwater build being best defensive build and the misery not stacking on this fourm did I go back and tried it out. Currently it looks like that the only people who browse this fourm and came across these posts are the one that use this build. Maybe if this fact is explained somewhere in game such as Yolgan's (NPC in stoutford, pretty sure I spelt it wrong) explanation of BWM or Agent's recruitment speech more people will use it.

Not everything in the game is obvious. We would prefer to keep it that way, because then players can play it again. That also applies to quests, equipment, etc. There is no "right" path, only the path that you choose.

That is fine. It is just that we see a post about blackwater misery every other month.

Explore the game. Create multiple characters. Try things and learn.

I'm not going to continue to cheerlead for Blackwater gear day after day. It is my favorite, but I want people to try it themselves.
