Alliance
Night Elf Hunter
Night Elf Hunter was already possible in Classic, but the Night Elf racials changed, so the old verdicts no longer apply. You start in Teldrassil; your capital is Darnassus.
Verdict
Elune's Light lines up with Rapid Fire for a big crit burst, and Shadowmeld is a second Feign Death for threat. A strong Alliance hunter pick.
