Necro help

[ctre]

There is 1 major advantage for iksar, they are better for mana production in raids.
If you want to level fast then going the gnome path is better.
By the time you hit lvl 60 as as Gnome you will be 50 as an iksar, (iksar xp penaltys hurt).

However you will be a bit more powerful necro as an iksar, however some correct gear and playing skill is more important than the race.

So the bottom line is, if you want to raid and be the best to contribute to that, be an iksar.
If you want to level fast, not be hit by race hate all over Norrath, then choose a low xp penalty and liked race. EG: Gnome
