Necro, how do you not choose Iksar?

If you play decently often I'd probably reroll. In my experience you can hit L20 in ~40 hours /played. And Iksar simply is the best, no questions asked.

Also I can't imagine the Circlet of Shadows will ever be too super expensive. Probably thousands have been farmed by now, and the nerf still doesn't occur for quite a while into Velious. Maybe in 2 years it might be 10k rather than 4k or something. And by then Nilbog and Rogean probably will have launched another server anyway.

Amen!

I just rerolled. I feel better now.

I don't find those examples very convincing. AFK farming Droga is boring as hell; at least the spore king gives you 3 minutes of mild excitement every half hour. Grinding your way to the Boogeymen solo over 4 hours seems like a waste of time compared to AEing with a guild in 15 minutes. HS North is a bunch of L45 mobs that drop junk.

They may not be things that you care about doing, but they are still valid examples of when iksar regen provides a distinct advantage. Your desires aren't representative of every player on the server.

You can't solo King camp. AEing fear takes a guild, and not every necromancer has access to one that can AE clear it. You don't grind your way across the zone, you camp out in the safe spot beforehand. HS North may be junk to you, but to a new player deciding which race to choose, the gear may be something they would really like to attain. It's also a great spot to XP.

Anyone can come up with reason why they wouldn't want to do something. A better person is able to see why someone other than themselves would want to.

Yet strangely, you don't apply this logic to people who roll gnome necromancers.

or a gnome chanter...where is that gnome chanter btw loraen

I still play him! I'm planning to make some noise with Loraen in quite a few Velious zones, just not ToV. At least not until they make the hatchlings charmable (CLASSIC).

I just have too many toons at this point [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Pretty hard to argue with that post. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] Next subject. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Well I can argue against that.

If you are charm killing mobs, any race will have a fairly similar in speed when clearing in HSfor example, (unded mobs), (player skill will factor more in this).
The only time an Iksar will have an advantage in HS is there AC.
(this ability to take an extra hit is significant in my opinion).

Any zone where you use a pet or root rot.. the iksar regen will have an advantage.

All calls about sitting down/dancing/farting..etc doing more damage.. etc is rubbish.. you can only do the same amount of damage, (all necro's get the same dots.. unlike implied).

As each encounter type is different, each value of mana and health is different.

However at the end of the day, if you are 60 and an iksar. You will have a safer, more forgiving necro to play that will make more mana at the end of the day.

iksars get HP back quicker if they get beat on during charm breaks. that matters a lot.

Since when do you get beat on in HS when charming? (Very rare).
Getting beat on is saying that you do not know how to position yourself and your pet to play the zone well.
Learn to play better, then you will not waste mana.

you're right. still, helps with that learning curve, at the very least. and even if you get to the point where it is "very rare" it helps in those "very rare" circumstances.
