You for get that gnomes can tinker. They get there health back by using that
So standing Regen is moot, (be it the gnome has to tinker eyeballs).
Iksar AC is a big factor.
The Int on the Gnome is a big +, (However as a Necro Int is not super important).

Wait... You meant Iksar regen right? Cause AC is the largest non factor of a stat on Necro I can think of.

If so, change big factor to only factor.

Exactly..
** Iksar regen is great, (no messing about).
** Gnomes in lich form can life tap tinkered eyeballs.(some messing about required), (and also cannot have a pet up).
But health is kept up, be the mana regen a little bit down.

A good example of this use.. Charm soloing the Frenzy room in lower guk.
With just normal regen you will normally wait for the mobs to spawn.. and process them with your mana and lich.
When life tapping tinkered eyeballs. you will have 0 downtime. Clear other rooms as well, and come back ready for the frenzy.
A bad case for this will be if you have a pet up.. then the trick with tinkered eyeballs fails, (however necro's want to always kill unded right?).

And yes the AC bonus is a big factor. With the Cloth class, I see it makes a difference, (I will typically see that extra 1 or even possibly 2 hits of dmg that put's you over the edge to thinking about a FD).
I have duoed a lot with other necro's in HS, this is the impression I got doing this and my opinion.

My comment was in relation to soloing and killing mobs. You can churn a slightly smaller, similar number of mobs as a gnome, (when using eyeballs) vs iksar soloing.

As to the comment on levelling faster, yes you will. As the gnome race has a much lower xp penalty.
As I stated a long time in the past. A gnome can hit 60 by the time an iksar hits 50.
Is that a min max thing? Yes. Is it the best thing at the end of the day?

/shrug.. your views sit here. ****
