We already have the physicial resist gaunts and nothing with poison and wouldn’t a skull or bone item suggest poison more than physical? also it would make alot of sense for those wearing elemental and physical and void set resists to wear.
If I had to take a guess, it’s because Poison/Necrotic resistances already exist as a pair on the Set Poison/Necrotic prefix available to all items. (Am I rembering this correctly?)
While poison may be more thematic than physical, the developers may have decided that having Poison and Necrotic together on both the item implicit and the set mod would make gearing for those resists too easy.
Itemization is more challenging (ideally in an interesting way) when these sorts of things don’t line up perfectly for the players.

almost like gold rings with set elemental? If that’s the case they failed. They specifically made it so you could get 100% crit avoidance with 3 t5 affixes too, it’s not supposed to be extremely hard to get defenses. I think the amulet should be changed. Either physical and void or poison and necrotic.

To explain slightly better… I play hardcore so my defenses are important. Since it has physical on it the oracle amulet is a clear winner giving damage over time reduction. If the bone ammy was poison and necrotic it would be more of a tossup which is better because wearing it would free up another suffix somewhere else, for mana regen or something, but right now all it does is push my physical over 75% and free up one suffix instead of two. Not worth giving up damage over time reduction for. Freeing up 2 suffixes would make it a harder choice.
It would be nice if it meshed better with the set resists, or they could make it a less damage taken for those elements.
yeah agreed, if it was damage reduction the numbers would have to be lowered though or it would be overpowered for necrotic bosses.
