Necro, how do you not choose Iksar?

[Daldaen]

It really is incredible having Lich on a 51-59 Iksar Necro and standing next to a non-Iksar in the same level range and seeing how drastic their health loss is compare to your own.

Same deal at 60 with Demi Lich. It is a huge factor when solo. When on a raid, especially in Velious, Regrowth of the Grove BP clicks from Druids and the worn regen / clicky regen options help to lessen the blow from Demi Lich, but nothing will ever make up for the Iksar regen.

A standing Necro has 8 less regen and a sitting Necro has 11 less regen if non-Iksar. Meaning a non-Iksar need a Zlandicar Heart (5 regen), and 2 other Aura of Battle (2 regen) items to equal the standing regen of an Iksar Necro wearing nothing but cloth.

Iksar is only Necro option pre-Luclin/PoP when HP Regen items became more prevalent. I'm extremely glad I went Iksar on P99.
