Dark Elves cannot feign death. Necromancers, Shadow Knights and Monks can, it is not a racial!

For real? Obviously I meant as a necromancer smh

There isnt even a question. Iksar is the only race for Necro.

That being said. You can't be an iksar in classic. So pick which ever race you want. I encourage Erudite or Dark Elf in classic. These are the min/max for classic necro. But I wont say why because I don't want people to know why. I know that's cryptic..
Just trust me Erudite necro is the bee's knee's till late velious. DE necro is good straight through to end of velious.

But Iksar is the defacto Necro race.

Gnomes have the edge over DEs IMO. Slightly better starting stats, Tinkering, not as hated, etc.

I would start a Gnome necro as opposed to the Human necro I am going to start but I hate the Gnome starting city and I can never figure out how to navigate it.

I think it's sad how they didn't add Necromancer or Monk to the game until Kunark, but Verant was always doing weird things like that. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

DE also have access to the Reaper of the Dead and ring quest line..

Money maker and super useful items.

My plan is to roll a necro and only loot items that can be traded to a iksar necro. Then when kunark hits I can transfer over all my gear and be "twinked" level 1 iksar necro to get into kurns quicker.

Iksar unequivocally best, but you know that and everybody keeps telling you anyways.

My strong vote is gnome for a day 1 necro. Wall-vision is super useful. I think they can bank/buy/sell in more places with less work, but I haven’t played an evil gnome in a really long time. Tinkering is great, and in a pinch that stalking probe is a ghetto-but-cheap elder beads alternative.
