Monk!

[Lagging]

Alright, hey guys.
Just installing EQ now.

But, I plan on making a monk.
I am torn, TORN!, between iksar and human.

I played an iksar in old EQ.
But, human's, are so, pretty.

Are there stat differences between them?

Also, I would like your input!

Maybe I should go make a bard! Dunno!

Let me know!
Lagging.

Iksars get better racial bonuses in the form of additional mitigation. If you like min/max'ing the game, take Iksar.

If you want to look silly and be blind, go for human

As much as I dislike the way Iksars look, it is hard to ignore the racial bonuses and the blindness issue of humans.

 

[Lagging]

Haha, okay, cool. Thanks guys.

 

[Renshu]

Humans level faster.

 

[Serania]

I think they get a 10% exp bonus over iksar right?

HUMAN:

IKSAR

Racial Bonuses

It's 7.5%.

 

[Tarutao]

Human 5% experience gain bonus

versus

Iksar 2.5% experience gain penalty

1.05 / 0.975 = 1.076923...

It's 7.7%.
