Are conjures even worth the time now? From what I have seen in videos they received like a 80% nerf. This alone has thrown Necromancy into the ground compared to what it was.

I am glad I took my necromancy and snagged all my zuk capes before the nerf, this weekend. xD

It added a full minute to my Rasial kill times. As usual they've over nerfed. I'm considering leaving again. What's the point you get something you like and they take it away. The ghost seems broken now. The woo never goes on cooldown screwing up the revo bar.

I don't understand this. First they nerf skulls. People say it isn't that bad and go to do rituals. Then they nerf rituals, ok people go to do combat. Now combat is nerfed, also rituals are, what to do? Quit?
I also don't understand why they give us Conjure undead army while they give us no Command undead army, also spirits have different timer, so it doesn't make much sense to summon them unless at start of combat.

I didn't like this at first, but after adjusting my revo bar it is pretty sweet. I got summon army in the first slot, then the 2 basic attacks, then the command abilities for ghost and skeleton.

I never explode the zombie, so that's not an issue.

Activating the conjures between battles was really annoying for me. Now the whole thing is done automatically and that leaves me more adrenaline, the abilities and conjures are always active, and I can put more of my effort into manual casting.

As a bonus, I always had the revo set to 3 abilities, now it is at 5. That makes it a lot more convenient for when I want to switch styles. I can make 5 work for the others.

To me it is mixed, or balanced as it is described. I like to play Necromancy as a summoner class, so reducing the powers of my minions will reduce my damage. However, they added the new ability to summon a party of undead in one go, it fits my lay back combat style when I have all my minions up and fighting early and often.

I'm not much of a forum participant but today I felt like I needed to come here.

I'm not a pro PVM, on the contrary, I'm an ordinary player who plays for a short time every day and just does what he likes in the game.

when necro came out I ran to get 99 (in my time) I improved my PvM a lot I went to a boss that I never dreamed of going to, I got the zuk cover (for me a mega achievement) I managed to make the first kills in the rally a few days ago and I was I loved the game and PVM so much, it really was the best time I could have experienced in RS since I started playing in mid-2007.

But today the game literally made a mistake and made a big mistake, as I said I play little and lately I was loving going crazy, suffering a little, taking a lot of hits but I was managing to make my kills in approximately 1:45. After today's update my time increased by more than 1 minute, I get hit too much, I die with each death, I do too much damage anyway.

This update was the worst nerf I've ever seen, I say this on behalf of at least 30 friends who play the game and who I talked to today and who actually played it, it was too bad for me to speak politely because I want to say a lot of things... How does JAGEX have this gift of taking something fun, cool and challenging and turning it into a failure overnight? why my God?

This, similar camp to you. i've played many accounts over the last 19 years. i've never really Pvm'd except gwd1 or slayer. i never even did reaper until 2020 when i made this iron acc.

necro encouraged me to learn manual casting - and i was so pleased that i had got my rasial kill time down to 1:18 - i'm also one item for completing the log for him (1,080 KC - just need boot).

Today i tried for my usual rasial hour, the drop in output was huge - i managed one kill in 5 attempts and died on the others, and gave up and did something else.

sure can just learn a new rotation to factor in the reduction in damage - but looks like the drop is too steep. has put me off trying to finish that log.
