Necro, how do you not choose Iksar?

I have to add another thing after reading through some comments. The only people who are insulting iksar necros clearly have pent up iksar necro envy. The majority of the best necros I have met on this server are iksars. The difference were talking about here is a warrior with a fungi tunic(iksar necro) or a warrior without a fungi(darkelf necro). Of course you can get the job done without being an iksar but the difference between iksar and any other necro race is an iksar can solo 2 to 3 times more than that of a non-iksar.

So much of this on this thread [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Idk if I've stated I made it to level 12 as a dark elf necro!! Woot! I've noticed how iksar regen has caused other necros to fail where I have not..... Yes they died as where I lived in my undead like ways. I have seen iksar necros over the weekend run through areas like EC, nektulos and g fay to be destroyed by guards and their regen and ac bonuses have caused them, or rather not provided assistance to their survival and lost experience as where I have not!

People here are really referring to end game stuff. You wont be in EC all that long really. Necros on a whole are hated pretty much everywhere and when you are out in the big, wide world they'll tell you the little edge you get from being iksar really helps.

That being said, I love RP on my DE.

11+ regen sitting at 60 is nothing

for reasons

I do know if I was iksar at level 8 with the first Lich spell it would basically be free mana. With it running as a DE my hp doesn't move sitting. But it's easily balanced by 1 out of every 5 mins in kiting I just snare fear spam life tap. Really hasn't affected my game much yet. However I am 12 and haven't tried with my new spells but I will update everyone and this seems to be the caster forums favorite thread currently.

The real issue here is Sesserdrix has been lost to Elite: Dangerous.

Yes. This.

Iksar regen doesn't regen your mana any faster. As long as a non-iksar race can keep up lich without dying, there is no damn difference between the races (well except the massive int difference, allowing gnomes etc. to stack HP items easier). When you get into real high-end raid and group situations, maybe you'll see for yourself; hell, I often refuse to dispel shadowbond on myself just to keep it interesting; clerics are crying for me to stop twitching cause all the mana is going to make them explode... false iksar superiority is false.

Actually my post was in relation to when you are soloing mobs.
Re-edited to fix it for you.

One Key thing, (when soloing).
The Iksar is the safest race to kill mobs with.

All other races are definitely not as safe.

The only real downside I can see with Iksar is int, ( they are dumb mofo-s ). /shrug that is all.

Wait... You meant Iksar regen right? Cause AC is the largest non factor of a stat on Necro I can think of.

If so, change big factor to only factor.

My comment was in relation to soloing and killing mobs. You can churn a slightly smaller, similar number of mobs as a gnome, (when using eyeballs) vs iksar soloing.

As to the comment on levelling faster, yes you will. As the gnome race has a much lower xp penalty.
As I stated a long time in the past. A gnome can hit 60 by the time an iksar hits 50.
Is that a min max thing? Yes. Is it the best thing at the end of the day?

/shrug.. your views sit here. ****

How about saying it another way like:

Non-Iksar necromancers are more challenging to play than Iksar necromancers due to their lack of innate regeneration, extra armor class, incredible starting zone, and loot areas.

I'll second that lol. Nuff said. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] OK, what is the next goofy topic. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Because everybody is min/max crazy around here everyone goes Iksar. Some people still roll what they want to roll despite the superiority of the Iksar regen.

Why do I get a feeling that this person is not in TMO. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
