Re: black crystal's resists are backwards
As in. They have Darkness weakness, and Light resistance? I don't suppose a screenshot is out of the question? 

Re: black crystal's resists are backwards
No screenie on hand but I've seen this too -- black crystals have 100% light resist, no dark resist/weakness.

Re: black crystal's resists are backwards
I thought it made perfect sense the way it is.

Re: black crystal's resists are backwards
Why do you feel that makes sense, gray? Most other crystals have immunity to their own element, weakness to their opposite, or both. Black crystals are the ONLY ONE to have immunity to their opposite.

Re: black crystal's resists are backwards
First of all, if anything, they're the blight element - their only talent is blight bolt.
Secondly, it says they're immune to light right in their description: "A formation of black crystal. It absorbs all light around it."

Re: black crystal's resists are backwards
The one's I've seen indeed to have dark weakness, I will get a screenshot of one with 100% light and -100% dark after work, not that hard to go look though, some of the other crystals are messed up too, that was in 1.2.1 though so.... and I disagree, blight is something that is fostered by and grow within darkness, it's weakness should be light, the purifying, healing element
Re: black crystal's resists are backwards
who says light is "purifying" or "healing"? Who says dark is "evil" or has anything at all to do with blight? That's like saying Fire is evil and Water is good. They're just elements. Ask the Anorithil.
