As an SK I have to say Hide is OP... if you Fd then hide... you can most of the time stand and cast Cos with no agro...

You can stand and instant-click CoS without agro easily without having to use hide...

Yea, i hear that. But at the end of the day if being a race that looks slightly better causes me to gimp myself big time I'd choose rolling an Iksar. I guess the thing I always wonder is how much the regen thing matters at max level in a raiding scenario.

So basically if regen is OP during the leveling experience but isn't a major factor in raiding then I'd have no issue rolling a Erui or something else, but if that regen is going to give me a nice boost in raiding then I would rather bite the bullet.

Depending on how hardcore you go, you can get around this. VP necro staff is mana-free lifetap DoT. That + Holgresh beads will make iksar regen much less powerful (although you can't summon an eye while maintaining a pet, so you'd always have to deal with that).

Gnome is the only non-iksar racial choice imo. See through walls is very useful and gnome faction isn't too bad. Tiny bit of hunting in CB gets you non-kos in kelethin (just make sure to use the window trick when banking, cause he'll still hate you). You can use the bandages quest in misty to make yourself loved by practically everyone in rivervale. Dark elves tolerate you enough (even if you hunt in CB). Freeport is relatively safe (need to use the zoom out trick to bank there too).
