Well it's a reaper, sure is ain't it, but something to me seems a bit off, perhaps it's self doubt but perhaps I need another pair of eyes! All constructive criticism and votes welcome. I also for the life of me couldn't get inspired for a good screenshot location.

As this is a "Help Wanted" look I won´t really comment on the presentation
I would lie if I´d say this is super original, but as a classic necro, it works
Mixing armour would enhance the originality greatly, but if you like it this way, I would at least rework the dyes a little; a third dye for some metallic parts would work wonders here
Try a dark silver or maybe -to match the backpiece- something along the lines of Enameled Legacy

For the boots, try out the HoTW ones, to give him a bulkier more like battle mage look. These boots also have a great dye capacity.

Addding a third colour often makes a look much more interesting. You could try out the golden colour of your mursaat backpack maybe.
Or try to mix in some red and go for the shadow of grenth backpack if you can afford it? The red colour would also tie in the greatsword a bit more!
For your armor-comb ... i feel like the styles of the pieces clash a bit. On the one site you have the natural materials like the plants of the gloves and shoulders + the bones of the mask. On the other site you have the clean, ornamental metal parts of the bladed set.
Its ok to mix both, but i feel that especially the bone-mask of the grenth hood is standing a bit alone here. maybe you can find some pieces which resemble bones to mix in. The arah-set could work for that.

And just to mention it: if you want to present the final look here, you need more screens and a bit more thoughts in your description :P

So I agree with the shoulder piece and gloves clashing with everything, do you by chance have any suggestions to replace the mantle, gloves and possibly hood? (since it does have the bones)

I can agree the presentation is lacking but thank you for your comment, I will look into dark silver-y dyes, I am a fan of the enameled dyes so that should look good. (and also thanks for telling me the name of the dye I should look for or I would be super lost :) ) So far I agree with Hylek the most, something was bugging me and he found it, the clashing of armor themes, but I will definitely look into another dye!

Needs a splash of something else. Either red or maybe an amber-brown to match either the GS or the backpack. Boots here look a bit out of place, needs something more detailed like the Trickster's boots. The shoulders and gloves look nice here imo, it matches the spiky bladed armor style.

If you were going to keep the shoulders/gloves - I would probably recommend the gem store Glowing Green Mask over the Grenth Hood. What about the dye 'Patina?' It's a brown die that will also give you green highlights

You have been given great advice already. I was just going to suggest maybe throwing some purple or blue in there. For my necro, I have used green dyes with purple and it looks great. Gives the necro a "poisonous" look. Or, try a silver or gold dye to help bring out the detail. Some of the Glint dyes might be worth a look. You could also use the Reaper's Hood in place of the mask you are currently using.
