How to lvl up a Druid ?

Hello everyone,

I'm new to this server and new to Vanilla. I only played Priest during WOTLK and Cataclysm. I've created a night-elf Druid on Nostalrius and I'm wondering how should I play it during the leveling phase of the game ?

What spec should I use ? How should I play in general ?

Sincerely,

Yutsa

go feral. at lvl 20 you get catform.

I level as feral and I usually stay cat and most of the time I use healing touch to regain hp since it's the most mana friendly heal. about my spec I chose to go full feral at start. I can tank and dps.

My advice would be to put talents in anything but balance.

Personally, I like to heal, always have. So I put talents into Resto, but do quests in feral, because Vanilla feral is very strong. Even with resto talents and gear, my cat dps is still competitive. And then I have resto talents for when I actually heal dungeons.

That said, you won't get cat form until 20, as the poster above stated. But don't forget you have bear form--it's also very powerful. Cast HoTs on yourself, go bear form, and you can tank a couple mobs if you do it right.

In a pinch, as a night elf, you can meld to lose threat. If you're a tauren, war stomp + immediate regrowth is a good survival combo.

Good luck to you

You have three choices, two of which are very desirable, one not so much.

option a) feral. Most common and best for mob grinding. This spec utilizes bear/cat forms to either tank or DPS. You can take down mobs quickly and heal up when you're low. You use cat form in Battle Grounds.

option b) resto. Best for survivability but slowest dps. You can heal dungeons and Battle Grounds well. You can feral form to quest but slower than a feral druid. You have nature's swiftness to save your ass.

option c) balance (less desirable). Mediocre caster DPS. You can breeze through quests but be prepared to drink mana pots / drinks. In dungeons you will be a healer, but in battlegrounds you can DPS.

Have fun!

When lvl 45, you can switch to balance spec with the 3/3 Moonglow and the 3/3 Reflection talents.

You'll be able to dps as a caster and heal in dungeons.
