Necro, how do you not choose Iksar?

[rxfh]

I rolled a DE nec on vanilla pre kunark. I like the race/class combo. I like Iksars too but playing what you like > min/maxing. There's absolutely nothing wrong with non-iksars. In fact the biggest advantage for regen is when soloing. In raids you have a lot of hp from being buffed, can grab a quick regen from a shm/druid and odds are you'll be using lifetap to offset larger amounts of damage than lich anyway (to keep healing pressure off clerics/secondary healers) so it becomes a moot point. With the damage raid mobs do it's not all that big of a factor for raid recovery. Knowledge and skill matter more.

For soloing with Velious around the corner and HEBs it's even less of a factor.

If I wanted to min/max I'd play a modern game, on p99 I screw around for nostalgia. Anyone who takes this 16 year old game super seriously with min/maxing needs to get a grip imho.
