So I have leveled my Hunter, Paladin and Death Knight via the standard story. I have to admit, the one main thing that is OK about the Shadowlands is the questing and associated story (as retconned as it is). So I figured I had seen about enough of it so I thought I would give Threads of Fate a go on my 50 Druid. I was considering making this my new main because it can cover all bases. I am currently level 53 and Thread of Fate has me so bored I can’t even look at my druid anymore. I can’t help by wonder who thought “Let’s make the repetitive and soul destroying tasks players will have to do every day once they hit max level an option to actually get to max level”. It will stay 53 forever. Goodbye old friend.

To each his own, I guess. I only level through threads because I like the dungeon grind

Rip for poor druid boi. 
Your best chance to get your poor druid to max is to either roll guardian or resto and just spam dungeons until 60…I made the same mistake while leveling my dps alt and I eventually just stopped playing it because the way threads work and the long queue times for a pure dps spec 
I can do resto quite easily but it the dungeon XP viable?
Yes, whenever I roll a new tank/healer I always go threads. You get back to back queues and you can usually get to max level within 8 hours or so. Personally I hate questing…feels bad when you are the hero of Azeroth, downed multiple major story line bosses and joe bob makes you deliver his chicken to his neighbor billy.

Let’s face it, you never were truly were a Druid. You never really knew your friend and merely penned a feigned ‘heart felt goodbye’. Druid blood is thicker than threads.

For druids its…different.
I did my feral druid like this. I though I would go and do what kitties do…scratch things with claws. On some rough match ups it was more like hey feral…pretend you are a healer too since ours is needing help.
Okay…well then stand still tank. I don’t even have this stuff on the bars so be a minute or so to drag it in… Oh…and I can’t heal worth a damn…Kind of why I don’t do resto for faster pick ups. I suck massively…so I don’t touch that area.
These days I follow the advised level 55/56 in bastion then switch to ToF method. Works well for me. This char has coasted to 59.x. Tonight should be 2 dungeons and 60 ding iirc.
I recommend Threads of Fate only if you love the character enough to speed to 60. Otherwise story content will always be more fun, imo.
Get some friends that’re bored, and go faceroll through dungeons.
I’ve got 4 toons to 60, and won’t be touching any of the others until I can just give Blizzard my money for a boost. I’ll gladly spend the $60 per toon to not have to endure 50-60 anymore
From someone who prefers threads of fate leveling for all of my alts, as a Druid my advice would be to herbalism level- it’s surprisingly fast and a good way to get gold for starter gear at 60. I heal so throw in fast dungeon queues to break the monotony.
The story is basically a tutorial for WQs. I believe you’re giving up because you don’t like the class, not because of the leveling process.

Yes. You should be able to spam dungeon to 60. The XP is decent enough.
I would still try to pick a single area (probably the one your cov is in on your Druid) and do as much of the story line as you can between dungeons.
There are in game dungeon guides that literally point you where to go.
Try wow-pro. You can get it from their website (wow-pro.com) or through WoWUp.io
Edit: The main problem I see with threads is the desire to take your character EVERYWHERE chasing XP. Don’t do that. Stay in one area and complete it, then move on.

Bastion has the most boring plot and it’s the unavoidable one (you usually hit 60 before touching Revendreth).

I made the mistake of leveling one of my alts in fates. it took me weeks to muster up the strength to finish that char.
