Feral Combat is the fastest way to level a Druid: Cat Form for damage, Bear Form for tough fights. Your first points go into Furor in Restoration, so shapeshifting gives you energy and rage.

Talents and abilities on this page come from the WoW Forever game data. The tips are based on Classic experience, so values and details may differ in Forever.

Leveling tips

Early on you fight with Wrath and Moonfire; at level 10, Bear Form gives you more armor and health.
At level 20, Cat Form becomes the fastest way to level: build combo points with Claw, finish with Rip or Ferocious Bite.
Open from stealth (Prowl) with Rake, or with Shred from behind.
Between pulls, drop out of form and heal with Rejuvenation and Regrowth instead of eating. The talent Furor gives you energy or rage when you shapeshift.
Against tough mobs or multiple mobs, switch to Bear Form: Maul, Swipe and Demoralizing Roar.
Entangling Roots and Faerie Fire help against runners, and Travel Form gets you around faster.
In Classic, some forms required class quests. This may differ in Forever; training levels are in the table above.
Herbalism is a perfect fit for a Druid, paired with Alchemy, or Skinning with Leatherworking.
