Iksar vs Human Monk
 

I know Iksar is the obvious min/max choice here, but I don't particularly like the way Iksars look, how much much would I be putting myself at a disadvantage by making human?

Is this an Ogre war vs Gnome war type situation, or not something nearly as extreme?

If you’re primarily soloing and don’t have a fungi then the amount of downtime you’ll save going Iksar from 1-60 could be like 100 hours IMO

If you’re primarily grouping doesnt matter

Without any gear I’d say Iksar wins by far. With a fungi the relative regen difference is much smaller. Once you get a lot of HP gear and higher skilled mend that’ll offset the difference too and so will bandages and velious armor heal clicky. Factor then in XP penalty for the iksar and how regen and AC won’t be a frequent factor in grouping.


For the solo heroics it may make or break X fight, never seen any evidence of this. It will help speed up solo droga farming and the like by a marginal amount. Otherwise no difference really. And humans do look better and have better faction (even with AoN).

Go iksar. The ac/regen will go a far way leveling to 60. Add in sneak to merchant anywhere and fd to bank anywhere and its a no brainer to pick iksar.

If you solo, it's quite a big difference. The regen is a huge advantage and the extra AC is quite nice as well.

If you don't do any real amount of soloing, it doesn't matter at all.

since ur on p99 u best stick with the obvious min/maxx choices and grow a few chin whiskers while ur at it

One is not better than the other. That is my opinion.

Soloing and small group play 51+ will be slightly worse as a human. For raiding the regen is nice, but not a make or break advantage.

Looks matter far more than a little ac/regen. Pick human if you like the look of human better.
