Default Thinking about starting a monk..

Just wondering if the iksar regen is a huge deal or just a nice little perk? Played a human monk to around 30 on live before I quit and I think I'd like to make one as my first alt [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

it's a huge perk but comes with an exp penalty as well.

Hmm so basically twice the regen rate of a human.. This is tough. I see that a human monk will gain exp faster than an iksar, but could anyone enlighten me about this part from the link above? (referring to the slightly less damage part)

"Iksars get an in-built AC boost which stacks with the natural Monk AC boost. They also get faster health regeneration, infravision and the ability to forage (although this ability is capped). They also start with 100 skill in swimming. Because of all these bonus abilities they do slightly less damage than Humans at their full power."

Iksars bare fists end up with a slightly worse damage:delay ratio than human fists.

Check it out on the wiki monk page: http://wiki.project1999.org/index.php/Monk

The fist thing is pretty much pointless, especially on this server. Noone will be using their bare fists. Much, much better weapons are available extremely cheaply, even from early levels.

The regen however, would be great.

But honestly - I'd just make the choice based on if you want to play an evil race or not.

Iksars definitely make better monks and I don't know of many people that were happy about the bonuses in comparison to humans when the differences were made clear. But with that said, they look horrible so play whichever you like!

More like "a race that is hated everywhere except Cabilis or not."

Have they finished the faction rework that was doing to make Iksars more hated (i.e. as hated as they should have been in the first place)?
