So I've gotten my necromancy to level 68 now, I know I'm a pro.
and I think I got enough of a handle to drop some constructive and solid feedback for jagex.

There are a couple nitpicks and a couple solid improvements that I think should be looked at.

1. Blood Siphon getting cancelled when clicking an enemy, this is kind of annoying and wastes the ability. I think making it so clicking enemies doesn't cancel Blood Siphon (but moving still does). or simply reduce the cooldown to like 2 seconds if you cancel it.

2. Pets, Emotes and summons at the ritual area. I'm not the first one to notice players intentionally summoning ghosts and using emotes to trick other players into thinking they see a wandering spirit. It is disruptive and annoying.
Maybe some limitations of conjuring and summoning pets in that specific location.


3. Wandering spirit is bugged and your character will run up to it and not collect it.



Lastly I wanted to say that I think there should be alternative ways to gain souls for the well.. Necromancy is a combat skill, and I think it's kind of lame locking many core abilities behind the talent trees.
I think the talent tree itself is fine, but doing hundreds of communion rituals sucks real bad. There should be combat alternatives to earning souls in my opinion.

I think there should be a way to have Conjured ally wield an off-hand (weapon), but my reasoning is that the Harpie Bug Swarm requires a Lit bug lantern that's carried off-hand from what I understand.

A bit more feedback:
It would be so much better if other players dont show in the ritual area. It is so cluttered that it is often impossible to see the random events over there. Thats realy sad becorse they give such good xp and items when you can reach them in time.

I agree that pets/familiars/summons need to be banished from the ritual site. Then we just need to banish all the other players as well.

I'd also support a different method of gaining souls. Between the necroplasm and adding souls, Necromancy is too ritual-heavy as it stands.

Sounds are important in necromancy rituals for identifying a special event (i.e. ghosts and sparkles) but there is so much noise pollution with "ambient" sound on, especially with all the people casting incantations for extra XP. I would like to have the sparkle event sound as a sound effect rather than ambient noise. As someone with ADHD, it's terribly overstimulating and makes working on the skill very stressful. I've tried muting, but the visual cues are so understated or camouflaged, I altogether miss most events. A chat cue at the time the events spawn, and not just after they're missed, would also be an alternative solution to fixing the sound issue.

I agree. no sparkles from capes, no fires (not sure if this is allowed but some people like to be annoying when they are allowed. No followers, there is enough activity and no conjuring. I would like to be able to change from the bluish color that it is to a lighter crisper picture. No the board we are playing on, just the surrounding area, but I can deal with the background color if all those other things were addressed. I have miss so many of my random events, not for lack of trying either. Wandering monsters, when you do see them, sometimes you click on them and stop partially away from them, even stopped next to them and still missed them.
