My first impressions would have been Orc or Troll being top dps on horde side, Worgen or Gnome on Alliance, but looking at bloodmallet, they show Human as top and Lightforged Draenei as second.
I understand Human being top with their passives, but Lightforged Draenei don’t seem to have very impactful racials for damage.
What race is the best (even by the tiniest amount) for BM Hunter?
If sims show that Human are top and LFs are second, then that is probably accurate for BM hunters.
Humans bring the racial trait: The Human Spirit, which boosts all secondary stats by 2% at all times.
BM in general tends to scale very well with secondary stats. And as we get further into an expansion, we also acquire larger amount of secondary stats(even though the scaling of secondaries on gear have been brought down as of late).
As for Lightforged, afaik, they have nothing beneficial in terms of passive traits for BM. But they do bring Light’s Judgement as a 2.5min CD that deals heavy damage to everything within an area. Perhaps it scales well enough to be around the top of competition?
They do have the passive trait Light’s Reckoning, but it’s a “on-death” thing so I doubt it’s included in sims.
I’m sure that there are others here who are more invested in theorycrafting and can give more elaborate answers.
But yeah, I’m not surprised that Human is currently high on the rankings due to how well BM scales with secondary stats.
