    Question about race changing

    Hello all, Currently my H DS mode hunter is a worgen, with the 1% crit racial. Im thinking about going human, because im tired of seeing wolf man all the time. Will the 1% crit make a difference on my DPS output so much that it outweighs race changing?

    You could in theory see a DPS loss from around 150-300ish DPS. As well as the run speed cooldown being lost, which is a great piece of Utility. I'd go Draenei if I were you, we have quite attractive booties. Why look at a furry behind when you can look at a nice and curved one? And, it bounces when they walk.

    Draenei is your next best option. Night elves and humans do not have dps racials.

    I feel your pain my friend.

    As a fellow Worgen, I often have the same temptations. Sadly, Darkflight is so overpowered in PvE that it cannot be ignored.

    Unluckily you play a male Worgen, which is without doubt the ugliest model in the game. Your best bet is to go female, which is a decent compromise.

    I play a nelf, love it. Unless you're in a top 10 guild or something i personaly wouldnt care about racials, just go human or w/e you feel like, its minimal dps, skill makes the real difference, not racials. Although for the record id love to be an orc :<

    Dwarf #1 hunter race (going by looks)
    The beard and gun it just looks right.
    Now if blizz would stop making all these bows/xbows and start making guns again it would be great for the 1% bonus just glad I can mog to gun now.

    Since hunters have no passive mitigation, and since dmg mitigation CDs are so valuable in raiding, I find that stoneform is extremely nice and often underrated.

    Unfortunately the % crit tied to guns is annoying as hell.

    human for PVP

    Worgen/Draenei for PvE

    Draenei for soloing contents

    darkflight is almost useless as most of times you'll have Disengage up for moving in PvE so it's just 1% crit vs 1% hit and a 3min CD heal

    i personally love GotN

    will change to human with MoP maybe with all those heals (15% every disengage, srsly?)
