Demon hunters seem pretty great. Having mucked around with World of Warcraft's second hero class at this year's BlizzCon, I came away impressed by the sheer amount of mobility they're set to offer.

Being primarily a Player vs. Player kind of... player, this all sounds like good stuff, but unfortunately I'm just not really that into elves.
As it stands right now, if you're planning on making the switch to demon hunter come next summer, you'll be restricted to creating either a night elf as part of the Alliance, or a blood elf if you tend to side with the Horde. Whilst both races have proven popular within the WOW community so far, I've always found our pointy-eared friends a little serious for my taste and it sounds like I'm not entirely alone.
