Necro, how do you not choose Iksar?

[Ronnie328]

I think an int race it's probably better than lizard for necro. My necro on live was DE. I never felt like I couldn't handle the lich. Plus having a much higher starting int and a much higher stam (if you allocate your start points that way) makes it much easier to hit your caps and start gearing in other ways. What good is better regen if you have to sacrifice health, resists, and to a lesser extent mana, to have it?

Stamina really blows on casters. The returns are horrible and raw HP is almost always better pick. Stamina is only useful when it's incidental to better stats from an item.

There are plenty times as a Necro where I'm not casting life drains because of their cost and being able to go longer while liched without having to cast those mana hogs is very nice.

As mentioned before the regen items stack with Iksar regen. Meaning a level 60 Necro with Demi Lich while sitting loses 25 HP as a non-Iksar. Iksars only lose 14.

With 10th Ring + Z Heart an Iksar gains 1 HP a tick. A non-Iksar is still losing 10 HP a tick.

This is a size able difference that no gear ever really makes up for. Maybe a soul well staff + Holgresh beads but then you don't have a pet and you have to summon pets / stand more to click it.

When soloing or in small group situations I definitely notice the regen being very helpful.

My point is being capped with less gear is also an advantage. I'm not saying that regen isn't an advantage. Just that there are advantages to being other races too

Play what ever race you want, necros get plenty of heals to counter it. It's just that iksars have to worry about it and use those heals alot less.

As a non iksar how do you feel about going afk in lich? I do it all the time and don't worry at 54.

I was one of the top necros on my server on live and cannot point to one specific instance where I failed to solo a mob and thought "If I only could regen 8 hps more per tic...".

Pick whatever class you like. You'll be fine.

you have to be a total newbie/retard to think that iksar isn't leaps and bounds ahead of every other race for necromancer/monk

Iksar race was made for me necromancer, secondly for monk. IMO

Human is master race for Monk - Iskar is master race for Necro - All know this.

Nahh, human monk strengths are faction and ...never mind, faction. But considering sneak it doesn't matter. But back to necro. Iksar was made for necro because your innate regen bonus is great for all situations. Plus if you have trouble going certain places you have forage so I rarely run out of water. Ac bonus, and of course the tail!!!

I haven't made a necro yet, but it'll be necro when I do.

I'd rather play a dark elf, but the regen is just too good to pass up.
