View Full Version : Racial Balance after mitigation change?

Mostly I just want to beat this horse again but in light of recent changes Iksars truly do make the best choice for a monk race with their extra AC and regen. As a whole with Velious and Luclin the Iksar's racial penalty's have all but disappeared. They no longer are armor restricted as they were with Kunark era armor and have many city's open to them now unlike pre Velious. So faction issue's and armor issue's that plagued this race pre Velious are all but gone and they are only hampered by their exp penalty. Which doesn't apply to AA Exp and possibly exp gained from 61 thru 65?

Something I've noticed, running 2 or 3 machines at a time, and that my human druid, makes xp at a higher rate than my iksar monk. Doesn't seem to matter if it's AAxp or normal xp. Also the rate seems to me slightly slower than my ogre shammy. Sofar, that xp penalty, does apply, through aaxp aswell.

Iksars do have the penalty on exp levels 61-65





But are we supposed to care?

Yes, the race debate is over. Just the iksar regeneration alone used to be enough to give the race an advantage. Now the AC bonus counts as an important asset. You would have to be insane not to be an iksar at this point.



... Although really, I'm not sure the really sane people are making monks either.
