New necro

ah, to me Necros/Mages are created solely to beef the bank account

True, but you need to grind out a good bit of levels first. Just seems silly to play a solo caster class thats built to level fast as a specific race with an exp penalty all for a little bit of regen you'll hardly notice and bonus AC that won't matter past 12 or so. idk.

Iksar faction problems are overblown imo. As a necro you're going to be hated most places anyway. And there are plenty of vendors outside of Kunark that happily deal with Iksars. Skeleton illusion fixes a lot of the Iksar prejudice. With base faction I easily bank in Freeport, buy coffins in Neriak, and have purchased spells in Oggok SK guild.

Iksar faction problems are nothing on P99 compared to live. I'm willing to go far as to say they are not correct. Some factions that should be scowling, aren't. Some factions that are scowling, shouldn't.

2 hours plowing non-elites in BB and most of qeynos likes me. 6 hours killing and I can make it to the bank as long as i dodge the wizard gm's pathing. I've drank since I played live, but I don't remember it being this easy.

How big of an xp penalty do iksars have?

20%?

I don't really notice it. In the right camps you're popping yellow con giants half the time. They shit plat and exp.

It scales based on level (or should) like troll regen. It's noticeable. You should be at like 14hp a tick at max level iirc. Running lich without regen runs away from you pretty quick. It's good to be mostly or fully healed so you can take the occasional hit when something goes wrong and you need to run or FD.

It's a little thing, to be sure, but it's the little things that make it worth it. And the AC really doesn't matter past a certain point. It stands out for SK, Monks, and Warriors, but the regen is for the Necro imo.

So much disrespect on necros as a main class in this thread, they are great for farming sure but is there something wrong with thinking necros are just a badass class? Lol.

[SupaflyIRL]

Figure I might as well ask this here in a necro thread, is there any way for an Iksar Necromancer to do the mystic cloak quest? I have the key already, didnt even have to camp priest, he was just up.

necros are cool but i dont like playing one - too easy
