This page is part of our Havoc Demon Hunter PvP Guide.
Best Alliance Races for Havoc Demon Hunters
- Night Elf
Night Elf Racials
The Night Elf racial bonus ( Shadowmeld) is always a strong choice.
This racial has a high skill cap, but using it to avoid crowd control can be
very powerful. For example, if a Mage is casting
Polymorph on you, use
Shadowmeld to avoid it. If you use Shadowmeld at the same time that a Priest
uses their
Psychic Scream, you will not be feared.
Best Horde Races for Havoc Demon Hunter
- Blood Elf
Blood Elf Racials
The Blood Elf racial bonus ( Arcane Torrent) has multiple effects.
The primary use for this ability is that it removes 1 beneficial effect from
all enemies in range. This is great for removing abilities such as
Blessing of Protection from Paladins or
Soul of the Forest from Restoration Druids.
The other effect is that it restores resources
based on what specialization you are.
