Necro, how do you not choose Iksar?

[Brujean]

Iksar's extra regen is very situational, despite all the fancy talk that the iksars will spew about how "overwhelmingly important" it is and how much it is "superior" to other races. Iksar regen is a crutch, used by necros who just aren't very good at the class.

I chose gnome since I had never seriously leveled a 'little person' on EQ before. Also, standing out from the crowd is important to me - even if it is not optimal.

Another thing to think about is that when you have naturally high int, you can cap that out easier and work on +hp & mana gear which will make you situationally stronger in other areas. Situations where you're dealing with bursts and the extra hp/mana helps.

Making broad statements like all Iksar necros are bad necros is probably the fastest way to show you have literally zero idea of what you're talking about.

How about saying it another way like:

Non-Iksar necromancers are more challenging to play than Iksar necromancers due to their lack of innate regeneration, extra armor class, incredible starting zone, and loot areas.

I've known people that are excellent players that rolled necro other than Iksar because they felt like it and they do just fine. A friend of mine rolled Erudite Nec alt and got him to 60. Its not a horrible choice because you can crank all your points into Sta due to the high Int total. Erudites make the best int casters IMHO due to not only to high int but their high Sta, racial MR bonus, and rarity/awesomeness. Gnome isn't bad either, though they have less Int.

I also think some people are trying to say that despite the Iksar regen advantage some people still suck. Its an accurate statement lol

I agree 100% with what you said, but unfortunately for OP, that is not at all what he said, or what he meant.

And gear too for that matter. I just laugh at all these pussy Iksar necros who have to use gear. Man up, put your points in wisdom, and fight naked.
