How does everyone feel about this?
Personally, I am not happy. I guess I am ok with humans being hunters, although it is getting to the point where they can be every damn class, but I really dont like the undead as hunters.
I dont "get" it. Are undead in touch with nature now? Do animals just turn off their powerful sense of smell when following an undead master?
There was even a time--more than a year ago--when I made a poorly-drawn little comic called "When choosing a pet, it is important to consider your fellow raiders". In this comic, it had funny little scenes, like a wolf lifting his leg to pee on a tree druid, or a bear trying to hump a bear tank. But what it also had was a hyena running off with an undead mage's arm (and wand). A dumb little comic yes, but seriously--undead hunters?
I understand they want class balance between the factions (hense, 2 druids for each faction, and more horde pallies and alliance shaman)--but why undead? Was it just a case of "well, the undead need more classes anyway. . .so lets just dump hunters on them"?
I would honestly rather see undead as a Paladin than a hunter. Afterall, they were humans, maybe they can remember their paladin abilities, like the belfs held onto them from helfs? And as for class balance, I rather see a goblin hunter to an undead one.

IMO Gnome Hunters would be the way to go. Imagine taming a pet, and being able to use it as a mount as well! :P
Undead as hunters doesn't really bother me, practically all of the horde races can roll a hunter, so what does 1 more race matter?

Ok a human just died, and became an undead.
If he was a hunter, the undead is hunter too!
at least that's my reasoning....i've always wanted a human hunter

Really, I see no problem with Forsaken Hunters.
Sure, they might have just added it to even out the class to race changes, but eh, no biggy. Not that hard to believe.
Night Elf mages and Tauren Paladin on the other hand?
That's just plain idiotic.
The mage moreso then the paladin, but you see what I mean.
Besides, Forsaken are cool. They get to mosh. o.O

Currently I am working on a thread for this particular matter, as well as the rest of the new class combinations on the upcoming expansion. Here is the one for Tauren Paladin/Priest.

I would honestly rather see undead as a Paladin than a hunter... paladins use holy powers, why would they suddenly make undead paladins if they have spells against their own race such as exorcism, hipocrit paladins?
Because they used to be human.
And, undead dont count as undead in such cases--like pvp

actually, from a mechanics standpoint, both could potentially be really powerful.
bad hunter stat
aside, humans will have a
free pvp trinket
leaving them two trinket slots to improve resilience and dps, something no other hunter will get.
undead, in addition to having
cheap
food
for them and their pet, will also get an anti-warlock
ability
and lore-wise...
the fact humans haven't been hunters before has confused me actually. Especially since Kenny's character in
the best episode of that season
was most definitely a human hunter.
undead probly did something like this:
Forsaken guard: "Hey Dark Lady, Sylvannas. What's with that bow?"
Sylvannas: "I used to be a ranger for the Sin'dorei."
Forsaken guard: "Orly! can you teach me to shoots that?"
Sylvannas: "Perhaps, but since you're missing half of your fingers it will be difficult to learn."
Forsaken guard: "I'll just get some blighthound to keep things off me while I draw aim."
lol :)
I still dont like it, but w/e. The lore guy did clear it up a bit for me.
btw, had never seen that eps. I nearly died laughing
