Is iksar Necro a must?

Being an iksar is nice for the regen but I dare say that non-iksar is best for leveling due to the XP penalty. Most camps have long enough spawn timers for iksar regen not to matter and there aren't that many spots where you just chain kill and where the XP is limited by downtime.

I've yet to hear of a single camp or fight that an iksar could pull off but a non-iksar couldn't given end-game gear. With a Z-heart and Ring 10 you'll do well enough. I guess for raiding it's nice to have iksar regen that unlike Ring 10 stacks with regen line of spells. But rarely matters what you do in raids anyway.

Iksar regen is more like insulation vs. when things go tits up. If you're just doing easy shit you probably won't notice it, but if you're charming say 34-60 Kaesora / CoM / HS (which any necro worth his salt should do), you will 100% notice it.

Agreed.

Playing an iksar necro basically means this game is too easy but you still need it to be easier

Sure, but you also level 20% slower which will offset the regen as far as leveling goes.

At 60 when bad RNG hits the fan you are either

a) Dead
b) Dropping the target byusing wc cap, FD or zone.
c) Struggling to recover

It's only in the C case that regen will make any difference outside of downtime. In only a fraction of those C cases will iksar regen make or break it for you, especially you have z-heart and dain ring 10 and VP staff.

There's a lot of items iks can't use that are pretty nice. The PoH range thing is non iks.
Iksars also can't equip golden efreeti so you're hard locked out of being a baller.

Nonsensical and delusional insults are irrelevant.

As a reminder, be wary when playing with Penish in game. He will purposely waste your time by grouping with you under false pretenses. He will record video of you in an attempt to make you look bad, and then leave the group abruptly. https://www.project1999.com/forums/s...7&postcount=23 - You can read this thread and see hard evidence of this.

He doesn't have the courage to post these videos, because he knows it will just show two things:
1. He shows that he doesn't know how the game works. He records video of people using normal strategies and assumes they are bad play.
2. He shows that he is indeed grouping with people under false pretenses. His true purpose is trying to record videos of people playing poorly.

Iksar necro is the best choice hands down. That said you should just play what you want; it's your character. No point investing many hours into a character that you just hate looking at. It's not like non-iksar necros can't do camps iksar necros can or anything like that.

This is the right answer.

Is iksar a MUST?

Nah.

Does it make a pretty big difference?

Yeah.

In a similar vein as the "regen is trivializes by Torpor" healthy debate on these here forums I'd have to wonder, is iksar regen trivialized by the soulwell staves that drop in VP? From the various necros I've chatted with in game it seems to be a common drop and easier to obtain than the epic by a country mile.
