What does a Human Monk get over an Iksar Monk in P99?

[fastboy21]

You can get an eye patch!

[Bardp1999]

Human monk is the superior monk
1) Dragon Eye-patch
2) Slightly more damage
3) Hands down better looking
4) More classic

Really point #1 is the only one that matters

What about the whole Humans being blind at night thing? Are there Monk items that have vision buffs on them?

[Jimjam]

Doesn't matter that human monks are nightblind; the iksar monks aren't. Even at night iksar can see how much better a human looks. The humans doesn't need to see that; their character choice shows they already know.

[Kirdan]

Even on green where we don't have kunark/velious yet, my monk has 5 items that grant serpent sight or UV. Being nightblind isn't the issue people make it out to be.

human monks are at the end of the day are better because they get a huge head start to iksar, they get epic faster they get to level sooner whill iksar doesnt even get to the play the game for a full year, once both races are completely maxed in gear the regen is insignificant at that point and human monks fully geared are plowing through karnors castle without batting an eye and human monks get to start doing this way sooner because of the giant head start they get over iksar, you are just waiting 1 year + just to have a insignificant advantage at the end of the day and you get to look like a ugly lizard with inferior fashion questing

once a human monk gets fungi/epic its all over, they functionally are the same thing at that piont

people really underestimate the advantage of being fully sky geared way before a iksar even steps foot into field of bone

as the server ages of the advantage of being human wanes and you should probably go iksar, but early in the servers life being a human monk is just 100% superior than waiting around for a year like a doofus because "muh iksar regen"

iksar will only be better when green is 5 years old and youre a new player

Yeah but god-tier is leveling a good plat farming class first and starting a level 1 lizard monk with a fungi + all the other goodies ready to go.

Race means nothing. Being a skilled and fun player is everything.

There is a lot of truth in this ^

I've seen people min/max race,gear, etc.. None of those can help a player who is inexperienced or lacks the knowledge to conquer norrath.

Really it’s comes down to personal preference on looks, like all these talks. No racial perk will matter in the ends. Group stuff has 8-10k hps or so. The hard stuff you duo or group has tens of thousands of hps. Raid forces it’s in the hundreds of thousands. The only mechanics that remotely scales properly is slow, haste, and charm. CH to some degree but has its limits.

If you like your toon you will stick with it (or come back to it) when common sense says this game is a waste of time.
