Just a quick thought that i have not seen mentioned,

I have a Tauren Hunter I use in Arenas and find the Racial Warstomp, combined in a Macro with aspect of the monkey and wing clip is not just a luxury in PVP but a necessity against Stealth.(Hunter’s Bane). The reason I feel this is against a CC rogue u get 1 chance,(if ur lucky), to get in range attacks and I cant see how this can be done without warstomp? If there is some other alternatives that you could suggest I would very much appreciate them TY

Forgot to mention this earlier. Mana tap can be really fantastic for PVP in AV or for world PVP if it gets thick. It’s a really nice way to shut down a healer or ‘lock for a few seconds if you get sucked into the thick of things (which, thanks to my laggy computer and lack of skillz, I often do) and find yourself standing next to one.

The Tauren's increased health doesn't go to your pet. As the pet only gets a bonus to health from a toon's stamina and the tauren's bonus just goes directly to their health not to their stamina.

And with what Orcs get I would agree that they are a better overall choice in PvE/PvP as far as their racials go.

Though I will always be fond of Draenei regardless of class. I don't know what it is about them but I love them as a race.

Nelf’s are cunning and clever! As a Nelf hunter, I have always been happy when me and my pet stealth in WSG. Someone grabs the flag, I aimed shot out of stealth and my pet gets a nice hit boost as well. It’s fun to be a hunter-rogue sometimes.

Also, I suppose when i do something like tank maiden for 30 seconds (2 nights ago) I can attribute part of that to my extra dodge?

Nice blog,

My main’s a Belf hunter @ 70 and amongst my many alts is a Troll hunter, currently @ 37.
The Troll seems very susceptible to stun effects. You only have to look at him funny and he’s seeing stars. I don’t recall having this problem with my Belf and was wondering if this could be a racial thing… Or what I need to do to make him more resistant.

What mister adequate said. My draenei hunter was the first Alliance character I got past 30, and at 31 I accidentally soloed Morbent Fel with her. (Didn’t know he was there and didn’t have the quest — aggroed him while exploring.) Mend Pet and Gift of the Naaru kept my pet alive until about two seconds before he went down, barely.
