considering reroll.

[Xer0]

curretly im a dark elf SK in my early 40s. Honestly, I love the SK class, in live I went ogre for the obvious reasons, this time I went with the ever feared master race, Dark elf. I do, and have thoroughly enjoyed the benefits of an increased mana pool, and felt this was the way to go being that being an sk alone comes with bad xp penalties.

But now with the advent of the velious beta server (Which I only recently learned of) Im considering a reroll. I'm particularly looking in the direction of the Iksar. Now, for several reasons I am sketchy about rerolling. They are mostly centered around the obvious penalties to iksar.. xp penalty (which will be lifted in the near future), lack of plate, and kos-- the kos isnt a big deal, Im used to it as a dark elf. However a lot of my gear (skullshaped barbute, darkforge bp, hero/silverplated bracers will not be usable..

On the other hand, Ill have bonus natural AC, natural regen, my best items (noctivagant blade, atramentous shield, skorpikis claw impaler, 5/55 ringx2) will be compatible, and I guess my big question is.. with that bit of gear, soloing and levelling in general would be easy enough for early levels, probably mid 20s I imagine..

tl;dr: I want to reroll, need convincing its worthwhile in my 40s
