If I recall right at level 60 with the best lich spell at that level iksars only take half the damage of other races..
I've never gotten out a calculator to add up the difference between them as it relates to mana battery efficiency. But it doesn't take a genius to realize 30 damage a tick versus 15 is massive.
Half the necros in the uber guild I was in back in the day actually quit the game when kunark came out, the other half rerolled or just stopped playing the class(most rolled rogus which needed more of anyway -- thanks kunark!). Non icky monks bitched a bit but didn't seem to quit or switch as readily as necros.
As a necro,(iksar or otherwise) being hated isn't that big of a deal thanks to invisibility, feign death, harm shield, and skeleton illusion.
