Classic Guide: Choose the Best Races and Professions for Hunter
1. Best Horde Races for Hunters
The best tribal hunter competition in PvE is Troll, and the best race for PvP or a mixture of PvP and PvE is Orc.
The Trolls and Orcs get very close damage, but the trolls are so powerful because of their rage idol fury that they are slightly better. Thanks to Hardness Icon Hardness, orcs are the best race in PvP and can help you fight melee better than Tauren's War Stomp Icon War Stomp. For a mix of PvE and PvP, Orc is the best choice, as you still get competitive damage bonuses from Command Icon Command while still being the main PvP race.
2. Best Alliance Races for Hunters
The best Hunter Alliance race against PvE is the Night Elf, and for PvP or a mix of PvE and PvP, the choice depends on personal preference.
Night Elf and Dwarf are strong races, and you should not be forced to choose one of them. The night elves are technically more resistant to pure damage, but this is only due to the higher basic agility, which is a very small gain. For PvP, it depends on whether you like Shadowmeld Icon Shadowmeld or Stoneform Icon Stoneform, depending on what you will be doing. For open-world PvP and defense on the battlefield, Shadowmeld will be better because it allows you to sit in stealth, find out where your enemies are, and move anyone who is close to them without knowing your existence Its open. Stoneform is strong for duels and confrontation melee, and if you have melee, it can be the difference between winning and losing.
3. Best Professions for Hunters
The best profession as a hunter is Engineering. It provides powerful items that can be used in PvE and PvP content, which can cause harm or help you out of trouble.
Leatherworking is also a great choice for hunters. The Devilsaur set is a carefully crafted set from BiS that you can use when reaching the highest levels and is very rugged throughout the RAID level.
Although the Engineering and Leatherworking industries are great professions, the more important thing you might want to consider is how you plan to make gold. Gold plays a pivotal role in W0W Classic for a number of reasons and is difficult to obtain, especially at the beginning.
