I think overall the necro may have more things available for you to do than a druid. As in various camps and stuff. It also is more easy mode than enchanter...

Enchanter is the best, but it is NOT easy mode.. So if thats what you're looking for, necro should be your choice.

and you should make a Dark Elf because min maxing is stupid and iksars are ugly and look dumb and dark elfs are the best thing in the universe [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

my advice is, if you dont like the druid, necro.. but if you want easy mode only.. druid is going to be the one for you.

if you want power enchanter...

if you want in between? Necro.

What do you mean by power with enchanter?
I've read iksar are best necros for the regeneration boost. Or is it not that noticeable
I went gnome for enchanter. And torn. Iksar for regeneration
Or dark elf for beauty lol

Charm coupled with haste + slow + AOE stuns / Mez make Enchanters capable of soloing extremely tough mobs (that can drop really good equipment to sell for tons of plat) that most other classes simply would not be able to solo. This is enchanter power.

The regeneration for an Iksar Necromancer is extremely powerful (Powerful enough that I started a second necromancer after kunark) because of Lich. Gnome would be the second choice because of being able to see through walls and some utility with tinkered items. The clicky staff from VP coupled with Holgresh beads / plenty of stalking probes can overcome a lot of the regeneration bonus an Iksar gets. As long as you aren't using a pet.

Couple random replies to other posts:
For a lvl 40 necro, try charming in Kaesora near the Xalgoz house. Pretty easy to use numb the dead to get single pulls and with a CoS to break charm and the undead only root + undead nukes you can do this very mana efficiently (the zone also has a fantastic ZEM). You don't have a long duration root at this point but the mobs don't hit incredibly hard, there aren't any pathers if you're in the right spot so it's really easy to reset agro with FD and there is very little competition (just the occasional person camping Xalg for HS keys).

For Druid race, seriously consider skipping halfling and going any other druid race that worships Tunare.

http://wiki.project1999.com/Warden_Symbol_of_Tunare

4 second cast clicky root available in Velious. Very very powerful tool since it allows you to have a mana free root available at all times with a relatively fast cast time and it frees up a spell gem. Halflings don't get anything to match this and that 5% xp bonus doesn't matter at 60.

If you plan to only use your druid as a port bot later and not take it to 60, then that doesn't matter as much.

Before lvl 50+ when Iksar regen really takes off the difference is not that noticeable. However, after 50 it is HUGE. You end up losing 2-3x more hp per tick as a non-iksar, so by the time you'll likely end up regretting not making an Iksar, you've invested a huge chunk of time into the char.

That said, playing a non-iksar is totally viable, you'll just be less efficient. You'll be able to kill less things, but you'll also only have a 10% exp penalty instead of a 32% exp penalty, so it will take longer to level as an Iksar.

Play what you want. In the end it is a game and regen is just regen. You have plenty of spells to heal yourself with - it's not like you're playing a melee =P.

Yea, not to mention lull your way to any merb, in any dungeon, no matter how cramped it is! No need to kill your way to a merb, just run straight to it!

Locked door? NP!

They really are capable of almost anything, but it requires skill.

I would best RP describe myself when I am playing an enchanter as someone who manipulates the physical properties of the universe to their gain.

Their spell book is almost like a set of tools that would normally be found in some sort of hacking software. You can change the rules of the game to your advantage. But be aware this dark magic can turn on you in an instant. So you'll need to learn to escape death in a flash.

It takes great skill and you'll always learn a new trick, no matter how long you've played one.

Oh yeah, I also forgot to mention that Encs are required for Chardok AOE. So you can grind out 57-60 extremely fast and then sell proxy slots for craploads of PP. Provided you can break into the scene (some people never seem to go to sleep).
