Necro, how do you not choose Iksar?

no, you're still discussing whether or not min/maxing matters, not whether or not iksar are the best min/max race.

stun resistance vs. regen for shamans is a different story because its two worthwhile racials. what other necro race has a worthwhile racial ability? there's a small argument to be made for dark elf hide i suppose. and gnome tinkering. and faction from anyone. but that's about it, and if we're talking about end-game performance then hide and faction are negated by CoS and grinding.

there are no other racial bonuses that hold a candle to iksar regen. whether or not that matters to you is up to you.

No other race has a worthwhile racial ability for necro. Some classes have some better stats but those don't make that big a difference. I think a lot of it is how you play your necro. Someone like me, I have no interest in raiding whatsoever. Nor would I want to use a necro to camp stuff for hours on end(I'd rather make a mage or chanter for that) I like to log onto my necro, go for a challenging big money target then log. Or group big targets. So take a look at these situations-

You log on your necro only to check if a big ticket item is up and if it is you kill it within 15 mins and log off. Or, lets say you're in a group and you're taking down a big target once every 15 minutes otherwise you're sitting around.

Regen isn't going to help you for either of these. In fact, I'd probably stack mana and hp in this case which makes added higher base int a bit useful.
