Necro, how do you not choose Iksar?

The leveling route I chose consisted of mostly camping 4 or less mobs, every step of the way, focusing on 6 min respawns. I can honestly say being an Iksar wouldn't have helped me up to 46 (where I am right now).

^^ this pretty much. Last 3 mob camp I did on my necro had a good 1min betwixt spawns, had to turn off lich after every cycle cause mana would be full.

This whole debate seems kinda silly, the class by itself is already insanely efficient. The added regen I'm sure is a nifty bonus but its not a game changer like getting Torpor.

I'd hate to see the comparative health drain for lich and higher on a non-iksar. That in itself makes places like Howling Stones that bit more perilous... and if you like the extra challenge, jump in with both feet...smoothskin [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

if only there was a spell line that healed you over time whilst also damaging the target over time for a not terrible dpm that could make up for the health loss...stubbleneedstoshaveskin [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Those leach spells are terribly inefficient and the worst DPM of all our dots...just sayin [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Add to that the out of combat medding where you will quickly need to click off your lich type spell, whereas an iksar can have it on way longer, prolly not needing to click it off at all.

Still, even a non iksar necro is totally viable if you can't stand being iksar. There are disadvantages (faction, xp), so it's not a trvial choice for everyone.
