Melee Weapons (2 Handed)

Sonic Spear
Drops off Murmur in Shadow Labs. This is sort of the “must have” weapon for all new 70 hunters. Drop rate is not great, but it’s worth getting. The overall stats are terrific.

Hellforged Halberd/Blackened Spear
Rep Vendor for Honor Hold / Thrallmar. This is a great substitute for the Sonic spear til it drops, and if you don’t need the stam from sonic spear, this is actually a good choice to replace it completely.

Terokk’s Quill
Quest reward for Last boss in Sethekk Halls. Holy free ridiculous agility two handed weapons batman! This is a must have for any new SV hunter, though the two above are still better overall if you need HR or if you are BM or MM.

Crystalforged War Axe
Random world BoE drop. This is easily found in the AH for a relatively good price, and is the choice of BM and MM PvP’ers everywhere. Lots of Stam, and the dps stats are solid.

Skyforged Greataxe
Crafted (self only) by blacksmith. I only mention this one because as you progress, an axesmith can make the Lunar Crescent which is one of the best BM or MM weapons in the game pre-Kael’thas. This is pretty good too.

MELEE WEAPONS – ONE HANDED

Note: I’m not going to bother listing all of the 1H weapons that would work for hunters. Seriously there’s probably 2 dozen quest and 5-man weapons that would be solid with +20 agi popped on them. If you happen to luck out and pick up a couple good ones before you get any of the 2H weapons above, go for it… but generally the 2H weapons above are still the better choices in the long run.
