"Best" race for a necro

curtischoy · #1 11-25-2013, 04:28 PM

Hallo! I've gotten tired of soloing as a mage because pets seem to not be able to hold aggro. (He's only lvl 21) Thinking of making a necro. Just wanted some opinions about which race to pick. I love Iksars, but I'm concerned about the diffuclty level in being one. Plus, on live I did a ton of leveling in Kunark and I would rather level in Antonica, because I basically never went there.

I am not really planning on getting to 49 for Lich, so that isn't really an issue.

Thanks!

EDIT: Also, I refuse to play a human in a fantasy RPG : )

Iksar, hands down.

What? Why?

I don't have that much time to play and I'm not interested in raiding, did enuf raiding on live.

You can still level to 60 and just not raid.

true, I just don't have a lot of time to play. so that's why I like to solo and just mess around. not very concerned with being high lvl.

Check out the Iksar vs. Non-Iksar Pre Lich and Lich. There is no other option in terms of efficiency.

If you wanna level outside of Kunark, Iksar is doable but will be tricky especially at low levels. If you don't roll an Iksar, it doesn't make a huge difference what race you choose. Erudite is good for high INT. It's true that Iksar necros are great for their regen, but the downside is the EXP penalty. Then again, if you're just messing around and your goal isn't to level as fast as possible, it doesn't make a huge difference what your EXP penalty is.

Iksar Necros can use the Necro trainer/vendors in Qeynos sewers, and probably a few other places. It isn't as bad as people say.

Thanks Tewaz, anyone know about vendors in FP sewers?

There are random vendors everywhere you can use.
