Necro, how do you not choose Iksar?

So is it too late to reroll iksar at 22? I'm currently in the middle of trying to grind money for a CoS before its too late.

If you play decently often I'd probably reroll. In my experience you can hit L20 in ~40 hours /played. And Iksar simply is the best, no questions asked.

Also I can't imagine the Circlet of Shadows will ever be too super expensive. Probably thousands have been farmed by now, and the nerf still doesn't occur for quite a while into Velious. Maybe in 2 years it might be 10k rather than 4k or something. And by then Nilbog and Rogean probably will have launched another server anyway.

Amen!

I just rerolled. I feel better now.

I still play him! I'm planning to make some noise with Loraen in quite a few Velious zones, just not ToV. At least not until they make the hatchlings charmable (CLASSIC).

I just have too many toons at this point [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I see, I miss those solo artist challenge days, so entertaining while I was at work

iksars get HP back quicker if they get beat on during charm breaks. that matters a lot.

Since when do you get beat on in HS when charming? (Very rare).
Getting beat on is saying that you do not know how to position yourself and your pet to play the zone well.
Learn to play better, then you will not waste mana.

you're right. still, helps with that learning curve, at the very least. and even if you get to the point where it is "very rare" it helps in those "very rare" circumstances.

Yes you are right for this. When the gods look away and say it is your turn to get your butt kicked necro, and they casually toss you a hand-full of fizzles with a bad FD and 1 mili-second pet break's. That extra AC will contribute to save your life. ( and that is your very rare, the odd time you wish you were an iksar ).
I do remember lying Fd with 10 hp's left, (wanting my hp bar to go up faster).

But it is made up for, (in hs) when you Gnome pre-inspect the picture wall, and duck look out to target your foes.. send pet in wait. plop down.. root and charm a new one when pet dies.

Was messing around in HS the other day, jumped through a door that I thought had 2 undead on the other side with IvU, had a skeleton and goo, skeleton harm touched me and they both started hitting me before I got an FD off at 15%. Because Iksar I was able to regen enough HP up to where I could stand and root/mez them and kill them quicker than a non-Iksar would've done.

Was really nice having the 12 FD Regen vs the 4 other races have. Yea, I could've not blindly jumped through the door but there are times as a Necro where you will get an FD off and need to wait on your regen before you can do anything. In those times regening 3x faster is very handy.

I think everyone agrees there's perks to HP regen. The argument presented, at least from my end, is that there are a good amount of situations out there where it doesn't make much of a difference.

The people who say there's no situations where it doesn't help I think are flat out wrong. For example, sometimes I pop my necro on, check if there's names up in HS and if they are I kill them then log back out. I don't stick around and clear stuff for hours. Where's the regen advantage if you're doing a bursts? There's lots of other examples as well.
