Druid Leveling Guide - Tips For Speed Leveling

If you're looking for advice and tips for leveling your druid, then this guide was written for you. Specifically, we're going to talk about how to level as resto, how to level as feral, how to level as balance (moonkin form), and some popular professions for a druid. By the time you've finished reading this guide, you'll be able to decide which talent tree is best for leveling your druid.

Let's get started.

Your first option is to level your druid as resto. While this is possible, it isn't the choice most experienced players make, because it will take much longer to kill the mobs you need to kill to complete your quests. This makes resto the most ineffective talent spec for solo leveling. However, if you're planning on leveling with your friends and mainly doing regular instances, you can level as restoration. In fact, resto druids are highly desired for healing in instances, and they can also offer limited crowd control in the form of putting animals to sleep with the “hibernation” skill.

Your second option is to level as feral. This is the best leveling spec for a solo leveling druid for several reasons. Firstly, it doesn't take long to get cat form at level 20, and start speccing for increased movement speed – which seriously cuts down on the time it takes to take new quests and collect rewards for completed ones. Another bonus is that you can tank many low level instances with your friends without needing to respec whatsoever. Many players find druids very fun to level because of the variety and different animal forms that the spec provides.

Finally, you can choose to level with the Balance tree. At level 40 you will learn the moonkin form which can be very poweful and fun to play with. The moonkin is like a “nature mage”. While it's not quite as powerful as a mage, it also has self-healing skills to make up for this disadvantage. You also have the equivalent of plate armor – which means you can tank things out for awhile without dying. Moonkins can also “off-heal” when needed in instances, and these healing skills are very useful for keeping yourself alive in a tight spot.

Moonkins are often affectionately called “boomkins” due to their powerful damage output, and fat owl-like appearance.

One of the most popular popular professions for druids is alchemy. This is especially useful for healing and balance druids, because the profession provides several trinkets which increase your spell power.

However, if you're playing on being a feral druid, you may like to try a different profession such as mining, which will give you a useful health boost which can help you if you're tanking.

In conclusion, this guide has given you some important things to keep in mind when choosing which spec to use for leveling your druid. Now that you've read this guide, you should be able to decide which spec you want to level with.
