Hell I don't want to be immersive, I want a class that can see and have some starting stats worth a damn lol. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Are there any rp guilds? I kinda miss rp in a dark elf "house" [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Iksars level faster than every other race solo because of the regen. Iksar regen = less mana to heal yourself through taps = less time meditating.

If you don't like the character model - you go skele illusion 99% of the time at lvl 34 with Call of Bones, so it isn't that big of a deal.

Also - trying something new can be fun. I played a half elf bard before so I had no real issues with banking/vendoring. Now with my Iksar Necro, knowing the ins and outs of where I can bank/vendor is pretty fun.

While necro is one of the few classes that has a definitive "best race", you will still do fine as any race you like. My roomy just rerolled his 41 DEF necro to an Iksar and he couldn't be happier. There is an exp penalty to deal with, but you kill more stuff and with less downtime because of the regen so it balances itself out. (Until 60, where it doesn't matter how long it took you to get there, AND now you have regen)

So basically, play the race you think looks cool. People aren't going to dislike you, or not invite you to groups based on race. You WILL notice a big difference in soloing though. Only you can decide what is more important to you.

DE waaay more classic. I have a human monk for the same reason.

if you are on top of your life tap's / life tap dot, you can keep lich on the whole time. I have been duo'ing with my rl necro friend who is a dark elf since we were 20ish. He does fine. He is 57ish? Not sure the regen would have helped us that much.

As a Iksar Necro, after playing a DE on live, life is a lot easier as a Iksar! But play what you want!

[Jetlag]

I'm compelled to tell you, if you want quality of life, go Iksar.

I chose DE because I didn't like the look of Iksar and figured the regen would be negligible when you're actively tapping & dotting. Although every necro can balance the dmg from lich form, iksars do it without breaking a sweat.

Besides, I spend all my time in lich form. If I knew better then....

Remember it's only convenience, race doesn't make you invincible. So play what you enjoy.

58 DE necro here, i wouldnt change if i was given a choice. Vexing mordinia is good.

The xp penalty isn't a huge deal and is balanced out with regen. In theory that extra regen means few lifetaps/vexes to keep your hp up and more time killing.
