I'm not a huge fan of iksar models but for the necro class iksar is way better than any alternative. At 58 in lich I lose 5hp a tick sitting. At 60 with arch lich I'll lose 1 hp/tick sitting. With Demi lich I'll lose 30 a tick sitting.
A non-iksar will lose 15 a tick lich at 58 and 13 a tick sitting at 60 with arch lich. Demi non-iksar will lose 41 a tick sitting.
The difference was noticeable but not game changing until 51+ when racial regen really takes off. Any race of necro can be successful but the regen bonus of iksar completely eclipses the xp penalty and fashionquest fail of sporting a tail. You can always tap back the regen difference but lifetaps or lifetap dots are horribly inefficient. Solo this is huge. Grouping where good necros heal ... it's enormously different.
I do not regret making a human monk. I would regret making a non-iksar necro.
