I love to level as resto

I leveled as boomy. Feral and guardian are both very strong levelers too. Pick whatever you want.
I was planning on leveling as balance, and I still sneak and switch over to that often, but my wife just started playing wow and I’ve been leveling mostly as guardian with her, kind of just to keep an eye on things and help her not get overwhelmed. Point being, being a bear is pretty fun too.

Strongest and most reliable is Guardian. You can pull half the zone and wont dip below 80% hp lol.

Please explain. You like killing things much, much slower?
Feral is very mobile, has enough burst, good AoE, and an instant cast self-heal. All things you want when questing.
As boomie, I can’t stand having mobs beating on me causing spell knockback. Even at max range they are on you in seconds. You can typhoon them but it’s almost not worth the GCD with how fast they are back.

Feral here. It’s fast, has self-heals, and you can reset Tiger Fury every mob for good damage.

You’ll probably be able to fo that even easier as balance.
I levelled as balance, and in my opinion it’s overpowered for lvling. Starfall is just awesome. Just dot everything and starfall and run around casting, the whole screen will die.
Not to mention your healing with resto affinity. As balance, swiftmend can crit for something stupid like 15k. Regrowth - swiftmend for a 50% heal even with no crits, then back into moonkin form. Or if running, rejuv then swiftmend. You can easily keep friends up.
My gear from lvl 50 lasted until about lvl 58 or 59 before I started getting upgrades, and there’s a real power drop that occurs at those levels. They have to balance the secondary stats around lvl 60. So I suddenly had to be much more careful and couldn’t just AOE the whole world in some areas. Apart from that though, it’s great.
Levelling as a tank or healer would be significantly slower, and the surviveability gains aren’t needed.

Take stellar drift and use starfall and you can cast while running around. If you’re AoE’ing pulling you’d be casting it anyways so it works really well.

Guardian was very much easymode for me.
Towards the end it started to slow down where my M+15 gear and Nyalotha stuff started to become less and less exceptional and more equal to dungeon rewards.
But, even then were talking about pulling 8 mobs instead of 12.
Pull 1 - Convoke
Pull 2 - Berserk
Pull 3+ - Normal rotation until these CDs come back for easymode
Was using Lingering sporepod and Lingering Psychic Shell for extra self heals if that matters… you might want resto affinity otherwise for yseras.
If it goes bad for whatever reason, mass entangle and just heal to full. Really easy idiotproof leveling.
Later i started using convoke in cat to burn down higher health elites fast. Worked great with master shapeshifter.

I did feral in Bastion, as the quest mobs weren’t grouped tight enough for my liking. After that, Guardian all the way, and it was spectacular.
Also, pulling an elite off someone who is about to die feels good. Or after, and just tanking it down.
Feral - stealth, speed, tf reset with predator and most importantly a cute cat
Hahahahaha
as guardian I see a lot of classes in SL barely take 1-3 mobs, and even then they are at 50% health by time they are done (or less) or sometimes seen them even die
Guardian just moves in, gathers a huge mob, and kills everyone forever staying at 100% health. If health drops a lot, its cause was lazy and didnt want to spam my heals. Or fighting a really hard boss, but still can jump myself up to 100% health and definitely haven’t died from anything. Though I only solo, haven’t done group stuff or pvp. In any case, Torghast, leveling, everywhere…guardian has been the easiest solo class I’ve ever played in WoW’s history lol. Its amazingly fun, super easy to play (for solo anyway) as well.
Boomy + Treants, hands down. Use stealth to skip unnecessary trash, use treants to solo elites or escape when you overpull.
Guardian is easier but come on, embrace the challenge!
Pfft, face tank with Feral! Gather up 6-7-8 mobs with moonfire, go kitty, BT charge, PW, Typhoon them away, heal up, go back in and do it again. Use Pred Swiftness charges to keep yourself in the game!
There’s your challenge lol
I don’t mind feral either but I was melee dps all through BFA, I needed a change 
Blasphemy!!!

Is the blasphemy needing a change, or not minding Feral? lol j/k
