[Necro] Iksar Regeneration Advantage Put to Task

[planarity]

Proud erudite necro because I don't want to be a stupid lizard person.
No regrets!

If Butchh can do anything that Complexity can't, it's only because he's a very clever dude that knows the mechanics of his class well.

We have roughly the same gear. Both of us can solo all of HS west, neither of us can solo HS south.

Iksar necros can fd to bank anywhere they want, get both types of invis and are one of the most powerful solo classes in the game

Being hated everywhere and the racial penalty mean nothing.

but theres also no reason to minmax a necro. de gnome whatever is fine. all the cool kids pick iksar tho.

The whole stun immunity thing isn't quite as convincing to me regarding warriors. Some rough back of the envelope math:

If mobs get their secondary attack every 8s, bash instead of kick 3/4 of the time, miss half the time, and stun half of those hits, then that's 3/4*1/2*1/2 = 3/16 successful stuns or one stun every 40-45 seconds. Sakuragi attacks every 1.2 seconds, so he loses 1.4 seconds of threat time on average. 1.4/42 = 3% of hate/damage.

It's not trivial of course; that's about the aggro difference obtained by upgrading the primary slot from a Blade of the Black Dragon Eye to a Sword of the Shissar. But I find it hard to believe this would really be noticeable in practice. 15% is a much larger difference than 3%.

Of course if your warrior is an iksar wearing sebilite scale with horrible HP/AC, then that's a different story.

I've played a DE warrior and tanked/positioned raid mobs and an ogre warrior doing the same. I can 100% say it's easier as an ogre. Positioning by walking a mob backwards is infinitely easier without getting bashed over and over again. I wasn't a convert until I experienced it for myself, but it is unequivocally easier.
