I do really love their starting areas (heck I love all of Kunark). I accept and understand that Iksar's racial bonus is better suited to Necro's than any other race, but that isn't a good enough reason for me to play one. It all comes down to aesthetics I suppose, and I'm not taken by the look of the Iksar. I play a Dark Elf because I love the lore and the fact that they treat being evil as a religion, I like Neriak and 3rd Gate music, and they just look cool to me.
I am a min maxer I suppose, in as much as I'll try to find the best spots for me to xp, or I'm always looking for loot (hard to do with 70pp to your name hah) but I guess that doesn't extend to racial bonuses. Maybe I will regret it at 60, I don't know yet. But for now, I've undoubtably made the best choice. First post, yay! | ||

Thought I'd chime in, play with an iksar necro on blue, been raiding with a beta buffed gnome necro on beta. Having only played an iksar, I didn't realize how much of an advantage they really had.
Regen difference is huge; in scenarios where you are sitting around buffing your raid, talking about strategies, or recovering from a wipe, lich eats gnome health fast. With iksar, lich eats it much slower, and has a positive net gain while sitting with regen on. Remphasis, a gnome necro with regen and demi-lich does not have a net +hp. An iksar does. This results in the gnome having to constantly click lich off and on, or constantly waste other peoples mana to keep them healed. Play whatever you want, just my observation is it really is a huge difference at 60. | ||

And that's what it comes down to. Sure make your race choice based on aesthetics. Just don't get to 60 lookin the exact same like a floating skeleton and wondering why your hp is going down three times faster... Go non iksar if you like to roleplay. otherwise iksar...

Yea I had to recopy my Iksar.
Epic, PD and DMF robes don't make up for being a gnome. Plus the damn gnome doesn't even have a Soul Well Staff (seriously wtf). I definitely noticed the difference and decided Iksar even at 58 > 60 gnome.

It's even more extreme than that. The difference in regen (standing) at 60 is 8 HP regen. Z-Heart is 5.
So a gnome with a Z-Heart is still 3 less HP regen than a naked Iksar Necromancer. Hell a gnome with a Z-Heart and 1 of the 2 Aura of Battle (2 HP regen) Necro usable items from Velious, is STILL 1 HP regen less than a naked Iksar Necromancer. It's pretty ridiculous. This is the table for level 60 with Demi Lich (stand - feign - sit): Non-Iksar with Demi-Lich - 28 - 27 - 25 Iksar with Demi-Lich.......- 20 - 18 - 14 A sitting Iksar Necro can overcome Demi Lich with just a Regrowth from a Druid. A gnome would need Regrowth, Z-Heart, 2 Aura of Battle items and they would STILL be losing 1 HP a tick. A standing Iksar Necro can overcome Demi Lich with just a Regrowth and Z-Heart. A gnome would be losing 9 even if he had the extra 4 regen from 2 Aura of Battle items. Solo, using 10th Ring clicky and Z-Heart an Iksar Necro can sit with Demi Lich and not lose HP. Etc. etc.
