Now that I’ve got my boomkin fully geared up I’m looking for an alt to level or boost. I already know what all the meta answers are for sickest damage, chonkiest stress-free tank, and pro-gamer heals. I want to know which class is the most FUN. I don’t really care what the role is, I just want to play a class that’s somewhat chill to play and feels enjoyable while you’re doing it.
I need your help!
Edit: I realize I’m asking for your subjective opinions and that what you “like” or find “fun” may differ from me. Nonetheless, I’m not looking for some meta level analysis of the perfect class to pair with my personal interests. I have a main already.
I’m just looking for something that’s relatively easy, enjoyable, and efficient to blow off some steam while open world farming or running dungeons. Hope that clarification helps.

I think you need to specify what it is you enjoy. As in, Healing, Tanking, Melee or Ranged DPS.
I don’t think it’s possible to give you any sensible answer without at least some idea of what you like.
I’ve been enjoying leveling a Disc/Holy hybrid Smite/Heal Priest (currently 64) & an Arcane/Frost (35/26 final) Mage (currently 66). My main is a 70 Resto Shaman (though I was Elemental up until just recently). Nothing else really appeals to me currently.
Nothing is really fun to play in raids larger than 10 man IMO though. It’s just a tedious job that you do for even better gear.

Druid. Druid is the most fun. Make another one.

yeah, just be a cat. It’s not a lot of DPS but it’s the best if your concern is fun

It is hard to quantify “fun” for how subjective it is, but perhaps I could go with a metric for Quality of Life, which removes friction from having fun.
A mage in TBC is awesome. We have the table full of yummies, the portals, the Brilliance, the CC. All 3 specs offer different kinds of fun, and can be as simple as you want (down to a single button rotation, if that’s what you’re going for), or trickier/more interesting. People lean on hunters and warlocks for “maximum pump”, but I give my fellow dps a run for their money in heroics and I have all of the QoL above too.
If I couldn’t be a mage in TBC, I’d probably be a warlock, if that helps.

I agree with that assessment. Others have suggest I play a feral druid, and that’s actually what I’d prefer to do on my main as I feel that the Boomie doesn’t have some of those same QoL things that make mages, locks, and hunters easy to just pickup and go with. It kind of makes me sadge that I can’t play feral, which is why I’m looking for something more carefree to play in my “downtime.”

I agree. I’m a resto druid at my core (I’ve always healed)—BUT I had a TON of fun leveling as Feral. Almost convinced me to go Feral for endgame…almost. I will definitely be trying to build a solid Feral off-set in this expac though.

Ah, yes. If I were to reword your original question to something more like “Which class is the most painfree if I were to slowly level them over the course of the next 6 months casually?” (and park them at cap, say), Feral Druid is very hard to beat. Once they get bear form you can just zone out and listen to music as you quest, no stress, and once you hit 32-33, you can burn mobs down hard with cat form and still have bear/heals on tap for when you need it. It’s up there with hunter/warlock in terms of “everything is easy and I don’t have downtime”.
Another odd choice (as I did it in Classic) is Disc/Holy priest. A Wand Spec disc priest has 0 downtime but spends a lot of time just wanding with a shield on. If the goal is low-stress, low-effort, low-downtime chill grinding as you listen to music or chat in Discord, this is also quite viable. You get to 18 and get the Gravestone Scepter from a BFD quest turnin, and the next 12 levels are a joke.

This is a very subjective question.
My opinion is that the rogue is the most fun class. You do great damage, you have very efficient farming, in PVP you’re amazing, solo you can stealth to pretty much anything and pop all cd’s to solo up to 3 man quests. I guess the only downside is you’re limited in raids from being the best DPS right now because of the mechanics.
I also really enjoy playing as a warrior. You get to tank when needed, and dpsing as a warrior is surprisingly satisfying, seeing big numbers pop up in large amounts and feeling the viscerality of the melee attacks.
Lots of people seem to really enjoy hunters, mages, warlocks, druids, shamans, and paladins. I think every class has something to enjoy about it. Except priests, I don’t know who would enjoy priests.
Fruit Elf Resto-Druid

Fruit Elf.
I shall have to remember that one.
Bear tank. When rogues become your personal back scratchers.
26k armor (80% less physical damage)
14k HP
Can’t be crit
33% Dodge
Rogue damage is double digits

How is anyone supposed to actually answer a question that is this subjective.
First reply was “Mage and Warlock”. Those are literally the most boring classes on the planet to me. No one can answer this question for you; everyone’s tastes are specific.

Hunter.
Send in pet. Pew pew. Loot.
Shaman, but it takes forever for it to really open up. All the best goodies are at the butt end of it’s leveling and talents. Utility is very fun, as are totems.
But…it all depends on what you consider to be fun. I’ve played them all, and in some way or another I like all of them, just some more than others.

Is “fun” big numbers? Mage or Warlock
Is “fun” actually interactive and adaptive gameplay? Not Mage or Warlock (or Paladin)
