Necro, how do you not choose Iksar?

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.

I have done that, kinda. All agility 5 stamina for my newbie butt dark elf necro. That including my 50 skill hide ability makes me a superior player to those who went +int/sta on iksar race.

By the way, feel free to provide those clothing items so I may leave the starting area with confidence! [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

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.

Yikes...I'm guessing you've never played an Necro.

Only people who have played an iksar and non-iksar Necro can really chime in on how important regen is. I followed Sesserdrix's advice since he seems to be the most knowledgeable Necro on these forums. Look up his posts, seriously...

You are one of the many necro sheep on this server playing iksar, I feel sorry for you but I won't hold it against you. I hope you enjoy the race, honestly... Your smug superiority only brings a smile to us non-iksar necros, trust me on that.. You truly have taken the path of Sesserdrix, hah!

Seriously. I'm not the minmaxer guy but when you have Lich spells... How do you not go Iksar?

Didn't read all posts. To the OP.

Because I made my necro before kunark came out.

Amen to that. Glad you didn't read most of this crap

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
