Orc all the way.  The Command ability increases your pet's damage done by 5%.  If you arn't interested in increased damage (sux 4 joo) then go BE.

if choosing for looks I can't help you, if for stats, orcs are okay, extra pet damag and increased personal damage buff are both good, of course extra pet resistance and a spell breaker are nice to

trolls  are the only class that a hunter gets full advantage from though,

no really bad choices, I like my BE hunter, even if it is a prissy premadona

BE's make great Mage Stalkers, especially if you go MM for Silencing Shot. It gives you four ways to hurt their mana.

  • Mana Tap
  • Viper Sting
  • Arcane Torrent
  • Silencing Shot

With these four, Mages/Warlocks/Priests are forced to stand in slack-jawed awe as you kite their stumbling corpses. Keep them stunned with Concussive Shot, and lay down Frost Traps every now and then just to piss them off after you've cut off their mana pool.

I forgot to add, if you're going BM with a focus on your pet, use an Orc, and if you're focusing on BM for attack speed, use a Troll.

twinking lvl 49? go troll (wow, godlike)
hitting 70 and know your class? (hopefully you aren't in a 5yrd range to silence mobs... seriously)
at 70: I'd say orcs are good (best for BM hunters)
-  trolls are good too
-  BE is mainly the mana regained from the racial... i'd rather have the added AP

tauren - stomp is nice for just one more stun to help run away with (can be interrupted)

Wow. You sir, are an idiot. Warriors the hardest class to kill? You must suck. And just so you know, multishot does not affect shaman totems, so you must be lying about that little fact.

I chose a BElf myself, more for the looks than anything. I'm happy playing to my likes (and i dont hate myself for it).

As Crobos said, if you want the BEST class for a hunter, it's a troll! Not an Orc! If you like Orcs, go for them, if you like BElves, go for them.

Arcane torrent has a limited use, at lvl 70 i can take somthing like 161 mana off a target every 30 secs with mana tap. With all three charges, i can gain close to 500 mana bak when i use torrent, as well as a 2 sec silince, which has more of a spell interrupt use than an actual silence (unlike many other interupts, it doesnt lock out a particular spell school for 4 or 6 secs afterwards).

I wont really be looking at using that on a mage tho. Mages can cause difficulty in pvp and the idea is to stay at or close to maximum range, that locks out some of a mages abilities (frost nova, acane explosion, blast wave, etc). Arcane torrent only has an 8yrd range. If you get within 10yrds of a good mage, youlll end up rooted to the spot, with an ice lance soon to follow.

^ 5 percent is alot.    go orc for the racials and there bad ass. not to mention blood frenzy  witch u can use with a trinket so lets say ur atp is at 1500 at lvl 70. so at 70 u get over 250 atp for 15 secs  so now ur  a 1750  and a 2 mon cd  thats helpfull.  ur healing is efected but if u do wat ur suppose to do u wont need to be healed. mana tap is nice but if ur so worried about draining mana ur gona end up dead neway. and u can always use a pot if u lose mana.

Sorry, but most of th time racial skills determine the outcome of the battle. And Blood Elf hunters will take it in the butt compared to orc and troll hunters, at times tauren too.

I got a 70 BE hunter and love him. Beat orcs, beat trolls. It's all in what you like. Each race that can be a hunter has it's advantage or otherwise that race wouldn't be able to be a hunter. If you get what i'm saying.

I would personally say that Orc is better for Beastmaster hunters, and Blood Elf is better for Marksman hunters. I've faced both many times in various battlegrounds and PvP situations, both on my 70 Warrior and 66 Night Elf hunter. Troll hunters are particularly nasty, but I find them easier to kill than both BE and Orc hunters.

So, basically, it's up to you, depending on what spec you're going for. The racials of the Orcs and Blood Elves each provide different benefits. Increased damage and higher racial stamina for Orcs make them excellent for Beast Mastery, while the Mana Tap and Arcane Torrent make Blood Elves really irritating when combined with Scatter Shot and Silencing Shot. BLood Elves also have more racial intellect, which is helpful for a bigger mana pool for MM hunters. They don't have as much stamina as Orcs, which means you'll have to make up for it in gear if you wish to go BM with a Belf, which can get expensive.
