The exp penalty on hybrids does not hit the group. The exp is divided as it normally would be. The problem is that if you start with a group of people, the hybrids get left behind exp-wise.

It is hard enough to get a group w/a hybrid as it is. Quit perpetuating this myth.

Maybe a ranger, but I have grouped with many SKs and pallys.

Because SKs and Pallys are strong tanks and allow a group to kill fast enough to make up for the xp penalty.

Rangers don't really provide this (insert 5 million people explaining why rangers are effective members of groups despite the glaring fact that all their roles can be done better by classes that have much less/no xp penalty).

Well i'd see if your friend is coming to play and then make that decision. If he is a mage or another class that is not available as an Iksar then you'd prob want to be a DE so you'll start in the same place (or closer to where he starts) and not have the problem of being on different continents (say if he starts a char based out of Freeport).

The regen from the iksar is superior but a DE necro can do great as well. It is the race I played for my necro on live. Here I chose an iksar for the regen (my necro was created before kunark on live).

Biggest drawback on iksar necro is even the other evil races hate you. heh.

...which is negated by the fact that you can just go from 1-60 and get your gear and do your banking without venturing to those cities/zones.

Risk vs Reward. Certain players may wish to do something just for the hell of it, at times, but the vast majority of players need incentive. If an Iksar doesn't have to put themself at risk and spend time going somewhere they don't need to go, then they probably won't. The "reviled by every other race" ding against Iksars is thus rather irrelevant because they don't need to interact with the Old World if they don't want to. Kunark provides an abundance of excellent exp spots and equipment, while taking care of other necessary functions as well.

This could bee seen as a design flaw.

Love the hate. NOT Perpetuating class hate is STUPID! Keep it to yourself.

Oh and who cares about the xp penalty. If you do fine good for you. But we don't need to hear about what you worry TOO much about here.
