Iksar AC bonus + being able to wear the same gear as the other warriors once Velious drops. Velious makes it Ogre > Iksar >> others, instead of Ogre >> others > Iksar.

Ogres are bad warriors. Stun immunity doesn't matter when you're a non caster corner tanking. Zero CHA matters when Divine Intervention looks to save you from your 8xRound from Avatar of War.

Go Iksar. Being stunned may just let you miss a round of attacks that you would've just been riposted on.

Or better yet, go Half-Elf. Best CHA of all warrior races $$$.

Iksars have slightly more regen think like 18 per tick at 60 versus the trolls which are 14 or 16 per tick at 60. (somewhere around those numbers.) its a slight difference but ikkies have more. The hated everywhere part? adds a certain sudden death challenge to the game if you want to go those parts of the game XD

I was using the regen table that p1999 uses as i cannot find a better source at the moment.

Both Iksar and Trolls have higher HP regeneration rates (per tick):
Level 01-19: 4 sitting, 2 feigned, 2 standing
Level 20-49: 6 sitting, 2 feigned, 2 standing
Level 50: 8 sitting, 2 feigned, 2 standing
Level 51-55: 12 sitting, 8 feigned, 6 standing
Level 56-59: 16 sitting, 12 feigned, 10 standing
Level 60: 18 sitting, 14 feigned, 12 standing
Comparatively, these are the HP regeneration rates (per tick) for all other races:
Level 01-19: 2 sitting, 1 feigned, 1 standing
Level 20-49: 3 sitting, 1 feigned, 1 standing
Level 50: 4 sitting, 1 feigned, 1 standing
Level 51-55: 5 sitting, 3 feigned, 2 standing
Level 56-59: 6 sitting, 4 feigned, 3 standing
Level 60: 7 sitting, 5 feigned, 4 standing
A "tick" happens every 6 seconds (server side).
It does not matter whether you are sitting or standing between seconds 1 and 5, only the 6th second.

Both Troll And Iksar are the same re gen wise.

People want to play an iksar?

Just wanted to add (and someone please correct me if I am wrong) that while Velious has new plate armor sets that Iksar can wear, current Classic/Kunark plate armor does NOT get updated to allow Iksar use. Just something to keep in mind.

Yes but expect PoG/dwarven armor to become just as common as hate/fear armor, if not more-so. Especially dwarven, which I believe does not have a level requirement and a minimal faction requirement (unlike Skyshrine or Kael which require max faction).

If you can lvl up a bit and run to KC. Get a set of http://wiki.project1999.com/Jarsath_Scale_Armor that pretty much always is rotting. Better for shamans but still good armor till you can do or buy trooper.

Break the mould guys, not enough dark elf or gnome warriors around... especially compared to live back in the day [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Try something different, stop min/maxing.

Maybe on red but on blue you see tons of different race/class combinations.
