Hunter Leveling Guide

Now that the Alliance race choices are done, here is the Horde race choices.  In continuation of the Hunter Leveling Guide, here’s your guide to making the best Horde Hunter.

Horde Hunter Races

Orc – The Orc overall is a great choice for a Hunter due to there blood fury, and command traits.  blood fury gives you a increase of attack power based on your level. While Command helps your pet do more damage.

Verdict: Orcs are a really good choice for a Horde Hunter, especially for pvp as well as leveling.

Troll - Their racials are mediocre, but they win the handsome contest every day of the week. Definitely a fun race for the Hunter.

Verdict: Racials aren’t even worth mentioning, but they are definitely my race of choice for looks and animations.  Unfortunately, from a pure stat cruncher’s perspective, they’re far behind the rest of the pack.

Tauren - There is really nothing special about the Tauren that benefits either the Hunter class or PvP. They get an initial start of +1 Stamina, Which does nothing at lvl 80. But there War Stomp is a nice stun effect for PvP.

Verdict: Nothing great, But a fun race to play as, and comes with a nice stun effect for PvP.

Blood Elf - The pretty race.  Arcane Torrent is slightly better than the Troll racials, but not too great for a Hunter.  They’re a good transition race for Alliance players who can’t stand playing an “ugly” race though!

Verdict: If you like the look of them, roll one.  Otherwise they’re basically like Trolls in terms of benefits, but less cool.  Not a terrible choice, but definitely not the best.

Conclusion: The quick and dirty answer is roll Orc if you want the best Horde Hunter.  If you’re going for looks, pick whatever floats your boat.  Horde racials aren’t exactly game-saving for Hunter.  In the end, go with what works for you.
