Fastest class to level 1-90

[Repeatx]

Any suggestions on the fastest? Thinking about doing some powerlvling on a few different servers to break into the economy there, already have plans for DK (crafting professions), what would be the fastest to level for an easy herb/miner?

This is for botting 1-90 obviously.

Thanks!

It depends if your bg leveling, questing, or grinding. I have leveled most classes. Retribution paladins and Blood DK's are the best for leveling. They rarely die and kill mobs pretty quickly.

Tauren Druid and feral for leveling, no doubt!

Tauren Druid > DK/Pala > Druid

dk's never die and never worry about tons of mobs attacking im lvling one now and i never die they are op also if you want more xp, buff-wise that is, use a monk they get a daily that gives more xp and i think pandas have a racial that gives them double rest xp or somthing like that

yea but an tauren is very big so they get stuck very often

Just leveled a tauren feral to 90. Especially when mounted. It gets annoying after a while. And while feral does kill things faster than a Ret or Blood DK, ferals die a lot more and aren't able to tank a lot of mobs like Blood and Rets

cuz the bot is so good at multi pulling.
tauren gets stuck, but flight form gathering doesnt

I was curious about the numbers for the best mining class, so I did the math.

For my calculations I used 200 yards as the calculable distance between nodes and for I scaled speed from 100% run speed at 7 yards per second.
I didn't see fit to include any variables such as expectable obstacles, latency, command input/feedback delay or elevation changes.
The calculations are rounded to 2 decimal places, the mounting cast time and mining cast time has been added where relevant.

Keep in mind that the numbers may not be realistic, and I suck at math, but here's what I got:


280% Paladin/DK: 456% air
7*4.56 = 31.92 yards/second
200 yards in 6.26s
+1.50s = 7.76s
+3.20s = 10.96s overall per ore node
328.48 ore nodes per hour


310% Paladin/DK: 492% air
7*4.92 = 34.44 yards/second
200 yards in 5.80s
+1.50s = 7.30s
+3.20s = 10.5s overall per ore node
342.86 ore nodes per hour




280% Druid: 418% air
7*4.18 = 29.26 yards/second
200 yards in 6.84s
+0.00s =6.84s
+3.20s = 10.04s overall per ore node
358.57 ore nodes per hour


310% Druid: 451% air
7*4.51 = 31.57 yards/second
200 yards in 6.34s
+0.00s = 6.34s
+3.20s = 9.54s overall per ore node
377.36 ore nodes per hour


So if you are looking at a pure miner, by these numbers a druid could gather ~30 more nodes per hour than a Paladin/DK with their 20% mounted speed buff.
If you are looking to do both mining and herbalism on a character though, just throw these numbers out and make a druid, for obvious reasons.

and we have a winner!

If you want a class to 90 to start farming faster, then remember DK's start at level 55, rather than 1. You get a big head start.
