It really is incredible having Lich on a 51-59 Iksar Necro and standing next to a non-Iksar in the same level range and seeing how drastic their health loss is compare to your own.
Same deal at 60 with Demi Lich. It is a huge factor when solo. When on a raid, especially in Velious, Regrowth of the Grove BP clicks from Druids and the worn regen / clicky regen options help to lessen the blow from Demi Lich, but nothing will ever make up for the Iksar regen. A standing Necro has 8 less regen and a sitting Necro has 11 less regen if non-Iksar. Meaning a non-Iksar need a Zlandicar Heart (5 regen), and 2 other Aura of Battle (2 regen) items to equal the standing regen of an Iksar Necro wearing nothing but cloth. Iksar is only Necro option pre-Luclin/PoP when HP Regen items became more prevalent. I'm extremely glad I went Iksar on P99.

So standing Regen is moot, (be it the gnome has to tinker eyeballs). Iksar AC is a big factor. The Int on the Gnome is a big +, (However as a Necro Int is not super important). | |||

I rolled a DE nec on vanilla pre kunark. I like the race/class combo. I like Iksars too but playing what you like > min/maxing. There's absolutely nothing wrong with non-iksars. In fact the biggest advantage for regen is when soloing. In raids you have a lot of hp from being buffed, can grab a quick regen from a shm/druid and odds are you'll be using lifetap to offset larger amounts of damage than lich anyway (to keep healing pressure off clerics/secondary healers) so it becomes a moot point. With the damage raid mobs do it's not all that big of a factor for raid recovery. Knowledge and skill matter more.
For soloing with Velious around the corner and HEBs it's even less of a factor. If I wanted to min/max I'd play a modern game, on p99 I screw around for nostalgia. Anyone who takes this 16 year old game super seriously with min/maxing needs to get a grip imho. | ||

** Iksar regen is great, (no messing about). ** Gnomes in lich form can life tap tinkered eyeballs.(some messing about required), (and also cannot have a pet up). But health is kept up, be the mana regen a little bit down. A good example of this use.. Charm soloing the Frenzy room in lower guk. With just normal regen you will normally wait for the mobs to spawn.. and process them with your mana and lich. When life tapping tinkered eyeballs. you will have 0 downtime. Clear other rooms as well, and come back ready for the frenzy. A bad case for this will be if you have a pet up.. then the trick with tinkered eyeballs fails, (however necro's want to always kill unded right?). And yes the AC bonus is a big factor. With the Cloth class, I see it makes a difference, (I will typically see that extra 1 or even possibly 2 hits of dmg that put's you over the edge to thinking about a FD). I have duoed a lot with other necro's in HS, this is the impression I got doing this and my opinion. | |||
