Best Races for Devourer Demon Hunter
Best Alliance Races for Devourer Demon Hunters
Night Elf
Demon Hunter has limited race options, but Night Elf is by far the best choice.
Shadowmeld allows you to outplay and become temporarily immune to CC and damage.
Night Elf also provides a small bonus to Haste or Critical Strike depending on the time
of day, but the primary value comes from Shadowmeld.
Void Elf
Void Elf has some minor value with 
Spatial Rift, which teleports you to a targeted
location. However, the three-minute cooldown limits its usefulness.
You can also proc 
Entropic Embrace for a small damage boost, but Shadowmeld
remains significantly stronger.
Best Horde Races for Devourer Demon Hunter
Blood Elf
Blood Elf is the only Horde option for Demon Hunter, no other race is allowed to become one
It is not recommended to play Blood Elf, as 
Arcane Torrent only provides an extra purge
on a two-minute cooldown, offering minimal value overall.
