Yeah, it's not a game changer (in kunark). However, the benefit is definitely not going undetected. If a necro is being careful and staying as efficient as possible, they will not fall behind. Having a good play style that is extremely efficient is > the regen bonus.

One major thing is having a large mana pool as a necro for when the unexpected happens (Oh shit moments). Erudites have an easier time keeping int maxed where iksars don't, this lets Eruds stack stats in other places, Like +hp and Stamina. Regen is nice, but it's not going to save you if you have a shitty mana pool.

For instance, I was always able to keep above 30% mana when leveling/farming 45+ and never slow down and still be able to take trains and only have slight downtime after killing them.

Basically, if you suck at a necro the iksar race isn't going to save you. If you are good, the iksar race is at the top of the list for best races stat wise, but any race will due well. Some of the best necromancers on the server are playing as Gnomes and DEs (I quit my Erudite so there probably isn't one of those anymore) and I can tell you that they aren't hurting for that regen.
