Hello, let me start by saying that hunter is my favourite class by far and i have several of them.
Since keeping my effort on various alts has become no longer viable for me in this xpac, going to Shadowlands I’d like to focus on a main and I will be on Alliance because most of my friends play there.
I already have two max level hunters there a human and a night elf.
Since i like them both very much as long as aesthetic and class fantasy goes i will decide which one to focus based on racials.
What do you think it’s best? Everyman for himself used to be a no brainer but now has been nerfed a lot, with any other class i would prefer Shadowmeld but hunters already have feign death to drop aggro.
So i’m undecided, again what do you think it’s best overall based on your PVP/PVE experience?
Hello! I’m also a hunter-a-holic, mainly because I love and play MM. I should also say from the start that I tried a little bit of arenas, got 1.4k rating, but I’m mainly a casual pvper with no high competitive pvp experience after MOP, with almost no interest in pve.
I have 2 night elves I believe, 1 human, 1 troll, 1 tauren(I think? I think I have), 1 worgen, 1 dwarf, 1 gnome, 1 belf and I’m not sure if I’m forgetting anything.
I’d consider night elf still the best for pvp, because yes we have feign death to prevent chaos bolt/fear/etc but with shadowmeld that makes it two. You can also use shadowmeld to basically get no damage when DHs fly high up in the air.
Humans can take adaptation instead of medallion because of their racial, reducing the overall cc time, but I’m not sure if its worth it or not. Some people consider it pretty good.
Dwarves are also good because they can remove poisons and bleeds. Dark iron dwarves are almost similarly usefull too.
I dont know sh.t about pve 
Good luck!
Class synergy lies out there in everything. Its up to you to create it, so dont limit it with generic fantasy and book covers. I created this tibetan themed Monk from a freaking Kul Tiran and now its one of my favourites.
PvE-wise, Human - Mechagnome - Pandaren > Rest.
Only Kul Tiran and Lightforge Draenei does not offer much.
So I assume Human should be the way to go for you, considering its also a good choice for PvP as well.
Human and mechagnome are pretty good as stated. Panda can be good, but you add some inconvenience for yourself. You always have to eat and get well fed and if you die and can’t eat, its lost. But these are obvious, so lets move past them.
Void elf racial can be pretty decent for damage and with practice you can easily line it up with your cooldowns. You also get a delayed blink which is always good.
Night elf can be good. Shadowmeld is great, and you get standard 1% stat.
Dark Iron dwarf is better than regular dwarf for hunter, due to damage potential and overall its pretty good utility wise. Faster indoors, teleportation with underground drills and so on.
Draenei can be good if they ever reduce the value of secondary stat and buff primary stat, and you will get a heal to boot.
Worgen is great as well. A mobility cooldown, 1% crit and better skinning if you have it.
Lightforged is a bit meh, but their damage racial has 40 yard range and can easily be added to your rotation and in AoE situations it rather shines.
The thing about human adaptation is that EMFH only removes stun now so you would be defenceless against a fear or charm etc.
Thanks for the tips, however I will keep the contest Between human and night elf As the are the ones that appease me the most at a visual level and lorewise.
