Is iksar Necro a must?

[DeathsSilkyMist]

From a leveling perspective Necro is a strong class regardless of race.

End-game a non Iksar is more expensive to gear. An Iksar only needs a ZHeart for positive sitting HP regen with Arch Lich. A Dark Elf would need ZHeart + Ring 10.

An Iksar can also get positive HP regen with Demi Lich using ZHeart + Ring 10 while sitting. A Dark Elf cannot get positive HP regen on Demi Lich with self gear.

So you just need to decide if fashion or end-game is more important to you.
