Is iksar Necro a must?

They aren't xping,they are camping fedhars for a wurm lord shawl. The necro camp is like 8 mobs every half hr, any race can do it and have downtime.
It can be done at 57, and I guess they could be doing it for xp. It is not a great xp camp

Yeah, this. They are doing it for shawl and since they are gonna kill so many xp mobs they figure may as well do it before 60 instead of after so the xp is contributing to something.

Fair. I wouldn't want to play a necro at 60 either.

Sinnycool on youtube does a lvl 60 dark elf necro. You can watch some of the vids to see how lich effects him at 60. I played a human necro to 53. In my experience you don't *have* to go iksar but any time I had lich going I had to get bond of death on something to counter act it as I would get down to 50% hp moderately quick. However, if you're in it for the long haul, there are regeneration items that a necro can wear. You have a Zheart (+5) the coldain ring #10 (+10) and there are 3 items with the effect 'aura of battle' that each have +2 regen and each stacks. Iksar regen is only about +11 over a non iksar so the coldain ring alone would get u nearly iksar regen.

Lots of streamers on youtube doing entire playthroughs. Not one iksar necro. I've seen human, de, and erudite though. Just saying. For being "the best" it's strange. Make whatever looks good to you. You will have to stare at it for a long time.

These forumquest min/maxers really ruin the godamn game for talking about a .01% (oh my god please don't give me the actual percent you hopeless bastards) advantage that ultimately means nothing.

Play the race you like. Make sure your AGI is at least 75. That's it. That's the game.

The people saying iksar regen isn’t very noticeable until 51+ are out of touch lol ! I started as an erudite necromancer and rerolled as an iksar at level 44, not to min max, but because I had a huge hiatus and wanted to start over fresh and I legit didn’t even lose hp on my iksar necro from using lich until I was level 30+. On my erudite I had to watch my hp carefully from level 8 and onward ��. Also one thing people forget is how much hp you can regenerate as an iksar while running across zones. I will legit lich down to like 30% while traveling and then click it off and usually have full hp / mana by the time I get to my final destination ��

Edit you don’t have to play an iksar though, I just thought it was crazy to imply the regen isn’t noticeable at low level �� like a human necromancer is still going to be more powerful than 95% of classes ��

People talking about fashion quest tho and like, I don’t even care what my armor looks like on necro since I’m always a skeleton and being KOS doesn’t matter because of skeleton form making you neutral most places

The only real race for necro is skeleton ��

If you have a Z-heart, no.

If not, yes.

This is probably the best answer. I went human eyepatch zheart with my necro and loved it. Zheart gives you enough regen to notice a difference but eventually there comes a point where you can’t even kill mobs fast enough to take advantage of all that extra regen esp when you’re just deflux’n stuff to death. Iksars will make a slightly better twitch bot on raids but if this is the reason you’re rolling a necro then you’re missing out on an insanely fun/powerful class.

I’d first pick your favorite race as there’s still a lot of non skeleton time(love that ignite bones trick!) then if you plan to raid prioritize things like zheart/ring 10/vp staff/aob.
