Can you please give the acolyte void damage? Why you decided to give the necromancer access to fire damage when everyone already has that and not void, the element befitting soemone who uses blasphemous magic. The only one using void is void knight. If you want to expand on void items, you need to give more classes abilties that use void damage.
That will be Warlocks job
Acolyte/Lich has Necrotic/Poison, if anything other classes need more Necrotic and Acolyte needs more Fire support
Despite necrotic/void being antithetical to each other?

how are they antithetical?
We dont need every class to have fire damage support
also, why would other classes use necrotic? they already have plety of damge type options
You can sort of do this with Doom. Lich has a lot of DoT support, so you can scale Doom damage very high. In fact, she can even generate higher Doom ticks than Void Knight.
However this build is very much Unique/Legendary-dependent.
Not at all, Lich gets most of their damage for âfreeâ in passives, Deathseal
with no increase to Void I have 450%ish and 670% Dot, some DoT from gear with DS up
Spread damage out, whats the point of Necrotic/Void existing if its one class only
I mean, you canât apply Doom without uniques afaik.
Iâm probably wrong as usual though 
The devs have said in the past that necrotic is associated with the undead that are, for plot/thematic reasons, diametrically opposed to the void/Orobyss.
lmao I meant you dont need uniques to get damage % on a Lich as its all from passives
How can you apply Doom without a unique? im using Siphon ring
The thing with Doom as it has 400 base damage and 4 stacks, Poison is 20, so with base damage only you need to apply 80 poison stacks to hit the same damage as Doom at 4 stacks and Siphon gives really good stats for a Lich - leech rate/movement speed, I think it even has Doom effect
I think the devs have commented at least on void that its like that sorta on purpose. The other classes have access to void damage through items and effects, but only void knight has a focus on void damage. The sentinel is perhaps uniquely suited to being corrupted by the void and as such is the only one capable of having a full focused void mastery.
The classes yet to be released are Falconer, Warlock, and Runemaster none of which will likely have a focus on void or even necrotic other then warlock who is an acolyte class.
As mentioned, necrotic damage is uniquely âundeadâ and is basically something the mage would never use as it would mean turning his back on his magely teaches that are core to his character. And none of the other characters really have the mind to do so anyways. Primalist would not forsake nature, and sentinel has enough on his plate to worry about using death magic when he has void to contend with. And the rogue? She cant even cast spells, she needs items to do that for her!

Thing is, since the build I was talking about specifically was around Doom damage to relate to the posterâs question, it is dependent on uniques/legendaries.
I know the point that youâre trying to make, but Iâm going to have to be pedantic here. Due to poisonâs inherent shred of 5% you âonlyâ need 32 stacks to match Doomâs 1,600 damage with 4 stacks (ignoring the Doom effect which is on most Doom-related items). 32 might sounds like quite a lot but for a âproperâ poison build, itâs nothing.

that kinda makes no sense devs, but ok i guess
