Holy damage
Shouldn't holy damage be added to the game? Paladins and priests would benefit a lot of this since i have the feeling that they lag behind other classes in terms of dps. I know they compensate with sustain, but battles against certain uniques take too long and drain a lot of consumables.

It already exists, orb of draining does 2x damage vs evil creatures and there's the slay evil brand on weapons and ammo.

This feels contradictory to me -- priests and paladins can heal themselves, which means they shouldn't need to go through nearly as many healing potions as other classes. So what consumables are getting drained?

Mainly berserk, mana potions and various scrolls. Also paladin tends to go OOM pretty soon.

If I understand it correctly, slay evil damage works just like other damage types like fire, cold etc. It just doesn't have a name. It is simply a damage type that non-evil monsters resist somewhat. So you could just as well be call that holy damage.

It's in the code as GF_HOLY (or at least has traditionally been so) since 2.4.fk, before the higher elements like GF_NETHER and GF_SOUND were added in 2.6. At the time holy damage wasn't listed alongside fire/cold etc in resistances since no monster in the game does holy damage. In the classic spell set, it's only orb of draining that has it. Again, it does double damage to evil and destroys cursed items (in the same way as fire burns arrows). We definitely already have holy damage.
