druids are the hardest to level, especially before the feral upgrade patch about a month ago.
Druid wasn't hard. Just slow. The druids complained about not putting out enough DPS. But then again, every class complains about not enough DPS (see Paladins)
If you want a class that can Tank the bajeebers out of anything that swings, and can put out DPS higher (with the right talents) than a decently equipped rogue, druid is for you. Extremely versitile and high survivability.
Oh, as for leveling, takes roughly 10 days for an average person to level to 60. That is no instances or farming for X items.
What I recommend is take it nice and slow with your first character. Learn the game, enjoy the scene, because once you hit 60, it's just farming/raiding for better gear then. Yes, it's nice the first time you step into the high end instances, but after that, doing it hundreds of times, it is boring.
im too lazy to read all your posts right now, but i have to say all u alliance will suffer mine and liggy's horde wrath. I admit i have a level 60 NE Rogue. Being a NE was the biggest mistake ive made in this game. Change to the horde now and get on the deathwing server. =)
I currently have a level 45 Undead priest and a 46 undead rogue.
Everyone who has an alliance char on this thread, needs to switch to horde and join the deathwing pvp server. I know the alliance is pretty, but trust me, you'll thank me later.
im horde because the alliance are a bunch of kids. the horde pugs in pvp can organize themselves, where as the alliance pugs in pvp don't. They don't want to organize because they dont know the meaning of working together. Plus, the horde quests are much much better than the alliance quests in my opinion.
I've been playing WoW since August 2005, but I stopped playing from September-December. I just started back up recently and thus far have:
lvl 35 Human Mage - Sageras Server (total playtime 8days 6hours)
lvl 12 Gnome Warlock - Sageras Server (8hours)
lvl 10 Orc Rogue - I forgot which Server (3-4hours not sure)
I'm still a n00b but I have over 300 Honor Kills (100+) outside of Battle Grounds on my Mage, so I can hold my own pretty well. I friggin HATE shamans! :P
