Warrior Race - Barbarian or Iksar?

[Breton]

Thanks for the feedback. I figured there would be more people saying Iksar regen/AC boost is OP etc. Since it seems Barb has just as much (if not more) upside i'm gonna roll with it for the sake of faction, str, sta, and slam. Thanks all!

Iksar is just the min/max choice while barbs are better overall while levelling. In full end game gear they simply have that extra bit of AC which other races dont get, as you would already be capped with str/sta at that point and slam wont mean much

I think people are overlooking the most important aspects here; hats!

Barbarians get polar bear heads and horned helmets for number 1

2 goes to iksar for their triceratops skull thing.

Trolls take third for their unidentifiable monsterskull.

Male iksar wear panty masks so clearly #1

Any suggestions on which way to go and why?

Warrior is the only iksar class without FD or gate. If are you familiar with evil races this may not be a problem for you but if you have not played iksar before youll be hated everywhere with no way of escaping.

Biggest drawback of Iksar is gear restrictions imo. It would get a lot better with Luclin, but we will never see it here. I don't recommend anyone roll and Iksar warrior without a full set of at least Thurg plate waiting for MQ.

Fungi + hp/ac rings + some decent weaps = you good till 40 on any melee

Yes, 60k in disposable plat to drop on twinkling any class is going to get you to well beyond 40.

Crede how expensive/sustainable did you find maintaining your haste click while levelling your gnome warrior?

I had no issues, but it all depends on your budget. I think I spent 2-3k on mana batteries and was good until level 50. For a solo warrior build, this isn't a lot of money. Maybe 200pp/hour or so to keep yourself hasted? Didn't get too technical with it. You should be gaining back at least half of that by normal solo looting in the 30s. I was also clicking str/dex which last an hour each, those are very sustainable.
