The key to any successful WoW Hunter Leveling Spec is to start off with the proper race. This is especially true on the Alliance side where the racial choices are diverse enough that picking a lesser one could make leveling harder down the line. Here are some tips to consider when choosing the race for your Alliance hunter leveling build.

The top three alliance races to consider for your WoW Hunter Leveling Spec are the Dwarf, the Night Elf, and the Draenei. The dwarf is a popular choice for those hunters who favor guns since the dwarf has gun specialization which increases gun skills by +5. While a nice bonus, this isn't a game breaker. The dwarf's other attributes, stoneform, find treasure, and frost resistance are nice to have but by no means do they make the dwarf the best race for an alliance hunter.

If you are looking at a Night Elf as the race for your WoW Hunter Leveling Spec, then you are likely being seduced by shadow meld which allows the player to become invisible when not in combat or moving. While this is great for resting and recovering, it doesn't cover your pet who can still get unwanted attention while you are trying to get back to full strength. The rest of the Night Elf's racial bonuses aren't that great and certainly don't make it a strong race to choose to play a hunter with.

The final race to consider for an Alliance WoW Hunter Leveling Spec is the Draenei. Two talents make this the best race to choose for a hunter build. First, Gift of the Narru provides the hunter with a heal, either for himself or a pet. This reduces downtime and makes leveling faster. While Heroic Presence doesn't seem that great, anything that boosts the chance to hit also increases the number of attacks that land. These two traits make the Draenei the optimal race to choose for an Alliance Hunter build.
