Quick question regarding necro race

[Jmcwrestling]

May as well toss out all non ogre tanks and shamans, all non high elf clerics, non Erudite int casters , and human monks then. Not like you can be a successful toon without being min maxed

My Erudite Cleric does a wonderful job btw [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

cmon now, high elf cleric has no clear racial ability over an erudite cleric. Iksar racial regen is a clear racial ability and happens to synergize well with a necromancer.

High elf has the highest starting wis+cha(combined) totals iirc. Good stats for a cleric.

DE Hide OP though.

Erudites don't make the best enchanters.
Ogre shamans don't unequivocally make the best shamans (troll wins imo)

I could go on and on but no other class/race pairing is as undeniably "best" as iksar and necro. The only class/race pairing that comes close is iksar/monk, but even that example is not undeniably "best" to the same degree.

For necromancers health = mana. Regen = health = mana = unparalleled efficiency.

yeah I get the stats advantage but thats not really an ability like i'm talking about. It's trivial for a cleric of any race to cap wis. Will be harder for an erudite sure but nothing major like regen is on a necro.

That's valid but having a higher wis/cha total lets you cap easier and gear for more raw mana/health/resistance as well as creation starter point freedom.

I can concede that much at least. I almost always just look at actual racial abilities when choosing, if none exist I Just go with what looks cooler [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Pick whatever race you want, yes the regen is nice but not a must have.

This class can heal themselves ffs, vex is 111hp/tick which is like Torpors high maintenance retarded girlfriend.

DE cleric arguably best choice ... racial hide.
Halfling cleric close second ... sneak.

Stats can be manipulated/fixed with gear. Those two races give clerics a unique and very useful ability.

I rerolled hallfing to dark elf for hide+snare neck over hide + sneak. Sneak has been nerfed further since I did that too.

I'm tempted to roll a human innoruuk cleric. No hide, but useful snare neck and a bunch of cool clicky thanks to paineel. Invis pots at 10pp a pop aren't too bad on those few occasions you really need it.
