First off the highest you can get on a bow / gun at 19 is 3.
On another note I'd say NE shadowmeld great escape / dodge = pro because of monkey glyph. Dwarf is awesome too because of Stoneform a poision then bandage right after / Frost resistance is good if you're playing Offense in a premade resisting frostbolts can be clutch on flag pick up's.

very true. i agree fullheartedly.
and i also find that NE hunters are usually twinked and bad, then dwarf hunters are usually decent to really good and twinked, and draenai are never twinked at all.
but that's besides the point.
advantages for NEs
shadowmeld in combat to confuse bad players and good players alike (for 1-5 seconds usually) which allows for further kiting if someone gets too close. also allows for stealthed defending of certain areas.
dodge chance for melee...kinda underused when you're a good kiting hunter but an advantage nonetheless
nature resistance for roots and wrath...pretty underused because nature damage is rare
advantages for dwarves
stone form in order to negate all poisons and increase armor...an incredible advantage for situations where a rogue is on you. just wingclip, stoneform, and the rogue is off of you. also negates hunter poisons and warrior bleeds if you want, so it's decent against those classes too.
frost resist for mainly mages. also helps a bit with frost shock. mages are not much a threat unless it is a fire glass cannon though. frost shocking shamans can be a threat though. still it's not much more useful than nature resist, but i think it's better.
guns have increased stuff, i forget what it is, but if you use a gun then you'll have more crit or something. pretty useful.
stone form > shadowmeld imo
frost resist > nature resist imo
gun improvement > dodge improvement imo
chest finding > wisp movement, unless you die alot in pve (which won't happen if you have a pet). wisp movement is a bit better for pvp but isn't a huge deal.
gogo female dwarf hunter.

Imo its all about what you want to do.
Druiddoid already covered all the racials.
You forgot shamans are mostly nature
earth shock, lightning bolt, heals.
Dwarfs are more offensive imo, while NEs are more defensive.
Don't underestamte (spelling) wisp form, Ive saved quite a few bases in AB solo defending..kill 1 or 2 ppl, die, get back to body before they loot the trinket, kill the rest.
As for shadowmeld..its been nerfed like 5 times (leave it alone) but its still useful. Melding while in a shoot out gets there pet off you and you acouple seconds of dps while they have to re-target you.
As well as sneak attacking your enemeys.
Chest finding has no use for a twink, but if your going to 80 then it can be quite useful.
Frost Resist ~=~ Nature Resist IMO
As far as Male/Female...
Male NE hold there bow horizontal with 1 arm.
Female NE hold there bow the proper way, vertical.
Male Dwarfs have beards
Female Dwarfs have flying pigtails
J/W i have no idea about the diffrence between those two.

If its a "Which looks better" contest thats your personal choice.
Most will say ZOMG Night Elf Female Hunter!
But it really what appeals to you and not everyone else.
PS - I play a hunter because I wanted to try hunters and add it to my collection of 29s.
I play a NE because I like the racials more than the Dwarfs
I play a Female becasue I like the proper placement of the bow, over the males who hold it side ways with 1 hand..it looks retarded.

heals don't matter, LB is used by retarded shamans, and FS > ES against a hunter unless it backpeddals.Naturaltalnt said:You forgot shamans are mostly nature
dwarf stone form gives more armor and gets bleeds/poisons off...NEs get shadowmeld which can translate to much more offense (ranged attacking).
it's rare that it will make a difference. it's a bit more movespeed in dead form so sure it will help in a few situations, but not many.
i will agree shadowmeld is very useful, i just think that stoneform is better because it gives you advantages against rogues and hunters, which are the two main concerns.
frost helps with frost shock, frost nova, frost bolt, icy weapon (if you want to include that..), perhaps frost/freeze trap, all of which apply slows/snares. nature blocks against lightning bolt, earth shock, wrath, and entangling roots, only one of which is a snare. i just think that blocking slows/snares for a hunter helps, and that resisting frost shock > resisting all other shaman spells
you know you rolled it for teh pronz!!
female ones are one in a million.

well yea stone helps vs rogues but do hunters need help vs rogues:S
shamans dont have frost shock at 19 and mages are rarer that droods so i prefer nature resistance... also frost only slows u down and if u have your attacker slowed he cant catch up to u for some time and roots are imobilization
i think that shadowmeld is better cos it is the only silence hunter can have at 19 when lock is fearing or mage is frostbolting u
and if u take gost cat from darkshore its so cool when u and pet apear out of nowhere(cats sux at 19 but its still cool)

o crap i forgot this was the 10-19 forums sorry
i suppose at 19 nature resist would be a bit better than frost resist
stone form is great at 29 but shadowmeld probably IS better than it at 19.
still, guns are a nice addition...although i think bows are the best for a 19...guns at that level are crappy.
hmm, i've trapped myself into a corner.
19 = NE
sry for the late discovery

Apart from combat reasons, I like my Dwarf huntard cos he has character - Dwarf emotes and voice are much more fun than Nelves. I have great RP-ish fun with mine sometimes and it's probably why I ended up playing him more than my human main and other alts
Bloody gnome rogues - step on em! Make more dwarves, lady dwarves
