Definite Iksar Vs. Necro Answer?

[uygi]

Iksar unequivocally best, but you know that and everybody keeps telling you anyways.

My strong vote is gnome for a day 1 necro. Wall-vision is super useful. I think they can bank/buy/sell in more places with less work, but I haven’t played an evil gnome in a really long time. Tinkering is great, and in a pinch that stalking probe is a ghetto-but-cheap elder beads alternative.
