I was thinking of creating a monk character and was considering the Iksar...Is that the best race for a Monk?
I like Iksar due to the better AC and HP regen, but standard Monk 1.0 epic is much easier as a Human (or Drakkin).
If you do go Drakkin you can get iksar illusion and human illusion item clicks, but there isn't a re-useable one for Drakkin
Iksar all the way! Monk epic isn't any harder for an Iksar. Sneak makes faction issues go away. Hit sneak, make sure you're behind the mob, and you'll be indifferent, good enough for 1.0 turn ins. And nobody likes drakkin.
Human if you are female. Iksar otherwise. It's all about looks anyway. though the iksar AC bonus, is nothing too shabby.
A bonus is still a bonus! And a lower levels, not powerleveling, the swimming addition may help out a lot, as will the vision.
Easy now. Just because we gnomes will never be able to go on most amusement park rides and are forever cursed to buy our clothes from Baby Gap doesn't mean we're bad.
I concur Although I do have a Gnome Enchanter (That's always in a non-gnome form). Someone has to do the tinkering for my toons!
