Creating a New Alli Hunter, any race suggestions?

Unread post by Petulance »

OK, i just spent a week saving for full hunter heirlooms.
Now i have them.
But i am stuck on what race to make my New alli hunter. (as i deleted my lvl 85 cuz he was boring and was pretty useless)
I was leaning towards a worgen. Because they have the two forms, the extra crit, and the dash.
But i also was thinking about Human because of the extra rep bonus and it will come in handy if i want to get the title Ambassador.
My old hunter was a Draenei. And to be honest. I hated that character all the way through leveling up.
Nightelf isn't out of the question as they are one of my favorite races aside from the worgen. ;)
I don't really like the Dwarfs. they are just, not my type :lol:
And I already have a few worgen Charas and I am getting bored of repeating the worgen starter quests over and over.
I do a lot of PvE and PvP (PvP mostly though). And i know that dwarf is the 'best' for PvP racial wise. But i really don't like them...
So do you lot have any opinions?

Humans and Night Elves would have the better PVP racials.

Human you get an extra dps trinket and a Night Elf you get less chance to be hit + an aggro drop.

The race isn't really gamebreaking and you'd probably be fine with any race but I'd go human/ne if you want the little extra advantage.

Ok, what i will do, is create a human and a Ne and level them both up to lvl 10 and see which one i like the best.

Isn't it obvious? Make a gnome hunter! :D

Or, until that actually happens, I'd have to say night elf. But, only because I'm biased. I think about 90% of my hunters have been night elves. :) I'm actually thinking of branching out someday and making a blood elf.

I would say make the worgen hunter, if you love them. Can you move the worgen over to start at a different area, though? I haven't tried with them yet.

I was under the impression that the worgen *have* to actually complete their starting zone as that's how they obtain many of their abilities (Darkflight, Two-Forms).

As for Moore's statement, it's true, but I feel the need to correct one tiny thing: Humans do not gain an extra DPS trinket. Humans are actually considered the recommended PvP race (if you're going purely by racials) because Every Man For Hiimself is actually a free PvP trinket (removes you from all stuns, snares, etc). The benefit of this is that you get to equip two powerful DPS trinkets over one DPS and one PvP trinket. :)

However, my advice is what you are already doing: Roll one character of each of the Ally hunter races that you like, level them to about 10 or so and see how you click with them, the way they look, they movements, etc.

I meant that you get a free trinket slot to do what you wish and most of the time it's a DPS trinket in PVP because of the Battlemasters giving crit + you can then have the proc or on use agi trinket they both seemed pretty dpsish to me :P

My point was, though, that the human racial is not a DPS trinket; it's a PvP one. ;) But yes, you're right, it does give you access to an extra trinket so I suppose it's your wording that leads it to being read two ways. Sorry.

And from the PvP guides I've read, they recommend you to nab two really good PvE trinkets to put in those slots if you can get them, if not then use the two DPS oriented honor point ones.

I really love the draenei racial in pvp--especially on classes that have no heals at all. It's saved my butt many times in those fights where it's a race to who's dying first. :D
