Necro, how do you not choose Iksar?

[Beinen]

Do any necro races have exp penalties?

Some people rolled Necromancer before Kunark was released and never rolled another. Some people rolled a Necro before Kunark and rerolled and releveled an Iksar.

The Iksar regen is great but people still roll non-Iksar necros and still make it to 60 just fine. Because everybody is min/max crazy around here everyone goes Iksar. Some people still roll what they want to roll despite the superiority of the Iksar regen.

I have played many hours of high level dungeons with both Iksar and non-Iksar necros (who are also excellent players) and if youre not calculating potential XP per hour soloing any Necromancer can do their job just fine even without regen.

Why do I get a feeling that this person is not in TMO. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I do really love their starting areas (heck I love all of Kunark). I accept and understand that Iksar's racial bonus is better suited to Necro's than any other race, but that isn't a good enough reason for me to play one. It all comes down to aesthetics I suppose, and I'm not taken by the look of the Iksar. I play a Dark Elf because I love the lore and the fact that they treat being evil as a religion, I like Neriak and 3rd Gate music, and they just look cool to me.

I am a min maxer I suppose, in as much as I'll try to find the best spots for me to xp, or I'm always looking for loot (hard to do with 70pp to your name hah) but I guess that doesn't extend to racial bonuses. Maybe I will regret it at 60, I don't know yet. But for now, I've undoubtably made the best choice.

First post, yay!
