I made a Iksar Warrior and noticed that almost nobody anywhere ever in the video community seems to have played one of these? I also hear bad things about Rangers in general and am curious if its all hearsay or fact.
I am obsessed with this topic and starved for info so do not be afraid to give any and all details you like.
Hi, so I'm just starting on this server too so this is from 15 year old memories and could be wrong...
The reason you will not see many Iksar warriors is because warriors are a plate wearing class and plate provides the most armor. As your job as a warrior will be to keep entries hitting you and not your group you need as much armor as you can get so you dont lose health quickly. Iksar cannot wear plate and as such this means you will never be able to get your armor as high as another races warrior. That said iksars get a natural ac boost so at low levels where you cant afford plate you will actually have an advantage. Iksars also gain from a naturally higher hp regen over all the other races except trolls. Whether these will make up for not wearing plate at highend I dont know, but I'd suggest it wouldn't help much in a raid situation. That said you would likely be an awesome 2nd tank in a raid. When it comes down to it play the race/class combo that appeals most. Look me up in game, currently I'm a9 iksar necro, I wont be on until next weds as I'm on holiday and I play evenings uk time. One final peice of advice, warriors are very gear depdant and iksars are hated everywhere. Eq is not an easy and as a first character choice it could be a steep learning curve. Happy hunting
