WoW Classic – Best Hunter Races Guide

by Falagar / Articles, World of Warcraft Classic / 02 Aug 2019

Two Alliance races and three Horde races can become a Hunter. They are:

Dwarves

Night Elves

Orcs

Taurens

Trolls

It’s important to note that of all the races, the Night Elf boasts the highest base agility. While it doesn’t add up to too much more, it does give them the best amount of base damage per second of everyone else.

The best races to pick for a Hunter for PvE to consider are the Night Elf for the increase to dodge, and the ability to shadowmeld and stay out of danger. Trolls are also a great pick as beast slaying and bow specialization to increase their viability when fighting certain enemies.

The best races to pick for a Hunter for PvP are usually the Dwarf for the Stoneform ability to remove bleeding, poison and disease, making them more viable against other melee classes. Orcs are generally a great pick for PvP-centric players due to their ability to better resist stuns from other classes, and the Blood Fury ability (though it only shines in melee combat!)

A Tauren’s War Stomp and increased health is generally seen as better defensive perks than offensive, since a Hunter is usually at their best when at range and not taking damage.
