Solo Self Found Monk - Iksar vs Human

[Vanessa]

So I decided to do a solo self found character as an alt. I'm planning to do a Monk since I've never played one and they sound fun. However, I'm stuck on which race to go with.

I'd prefer human, because they actually jump up in the air when doing flying kicks lol. Also, as a Human I'd have access to Gnoll Fang and Band Sash quests for some really nice exp and coin in the early levels. However, I know regen is a pretty strong skill when it comes to downtime, especially at lvl 50+ when the regen really starts to kick in.

I guess one thing I am wondering is, as a Monk, being able to BindWound to 50%, then Mend to 70%. Do you think that makes the Iksar regen less useful?

I will never raid or group on this character, nor will I buy anything from EC. It will strictly be only soloing.

So with all that in mind, which race would some of you go with?
