Necro, how do you not choose Iksar?

This debate has been done many times in the past. Iksar is the min/max choice however you look at it. If you want to play another race that is perfectly fine and you have every right to do so.

My only issue with this debate is those that say the iksar regen is "marginal". It's not, it's extremely useful (especially at 50+ when you really notice it). I just don't want new potential Necromancers seeing these posts and deciding not to go Iksar, level up to 50 and then realise they made a mistake and would prefer to have that extra regen.

It's about spreading misinformation that is the real problem and those that are too stubborn to just accept that regen is the most important trait for a Necro and does make a difference. Iksar Necros just have it easier at 60, that's pretty much it.

I don't believe there is any other class that is affected so much by choosing or not choosing a certain race. I had a Dark Elf Necro but luckily didn't get too high lvl before re-rolling Iksar. I am extremely happy I did that and am now in the 50+ range and loving every minute of it [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

For those who haven't done so yet, Sesserdrix has some compelling arguments as to why Iksar is the best choice and should not be discounted as a small advantage. He has done 1-60 on a non-iksar and iksar so he can really chime in on how much better it is as an Iksar Necro.

Anyways I just don't want people to regret their decision when playing the Necro.
