(Yet Another) Necromancer Race Thread
Ok first off, I understand: Iksar are the master race (racial regen + Lich = win).
But with that being said, I read a great post recently (which I can't find now, thanks a lot forum search [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]) that made a very good case for why Erudites were actually the better race for things like leveling, PvP and breaking a room full of mobs. The post crunched a bunch of numbers to show that the Iksar regen didn't come close to making up for the racial XP penalty, and that because Erudites could use non-Iksar-wearable gear they can have much higher max Intelligence (and then, once you hit the soft cap, higher max HP). The poster even made a mock Magelo just to demonstrate the difference. So I was wondering ... 1. Does anyone know which post I'm talking about and can link it? 2. That post seemed oriented around Kunark-era gear: will the same logic still apply in the Velious era? 3. How do Dark Elves fit in to the picture gear-wise? Can they only wear the same stuff as an Iksar, or do they (like Erudites) have any high quality gear that's specific to them?

Max mana means basically nothing for necro, right? Even if the regen doesn't quite make up for the exp penalty, it will worth it AT 60.
I really feel like necro is the only class that has a "must roll" race. Even more so than ogre warriors and iksar monks. | ||

As proof, look at all the pro-Iksar threads where people claim that the Iksar XP penalty is negated by the faster leveling from the regen ... and then look at the post I referenced (if anyone ever links it) where the poster does crunch the numbers and shows the regen won't even come close to making up for the XP penalty. So I'm not arguing against the idea that in general Iksar is the best race for a level 60 Necro. I was just persuaded by the post I mentioned to think that perhaps another race, like say Erudites, could be better circumstantially. Quote:

if your gonna go non iksar may as well go gnome. As a gnome you can see through walls and can easily slip into the hole.

Forget the xp pen or the regen. Iskars have the coolest robe sleeves in game. fact.

no point of making a necro if it isn't iksar.
