Don't hate me for picking dark elf

[jolanar]

No amount of regen could make me play a race that I don't like the way they look. Once you notice that iksar tails are offcenter... you can never STOP noticing.

Personally I think dark elves look amazing in this game in any armor type. They have easily some of the best lore and the coolest starting city by a longshot. Plus you start right by EC which means lots of free buffs, easy access to sell bone chips and HQ bear pelts for spell money and several nearby zones with lots of grouping action.

I rolled a human monk despite everyone telling me to make it an iksar and honestly I have no regrets so far. Maybe when I get to 50+ I'll regret it, but tbh you really have no idea if you are going to even make it that far and it's silly to not enjoy your character for the first 59 levels because of min/max reasons.
