I am starting a Druid for the first time and have two basic questions.

1 Best build for solo leveling? (I never play PvP)
2 How does Druid Prowl compare with Rogue stealth?

Thanks!!

My druid is solo leveling using feral. It helps emphasize the quick
dps of catform and the occasional tank in bear/dire bear. I play him
about once a week to use up his rested and he will hit 60 with about 9
days /played. I may swap to resto at 60, but may just stay dps and
try to get some good feral drops.

Prowl is the same thing as stealth as far as I can tell. Too bad
there is no such thing as Druid Vanish or Distract, or pickpocket for
that matter.

Avocat - Gnome Warlock
Lehi - Human Paladin
Bathsheba - Human Rogue
Pourter - Night Elf Druid

I'll echo what I think everyone is going to say:

1) You'll use every Druid form situationally. But you'll use Cat form
the most while levelling up. So 100% Feral tree makes a ton of sense,
along with Tiger/Monkey gear. Basically you're playing like a Rogue.

Caster form isn't bad. With a small mana pool and your own healing
spells you're better off with Owl gear than Eagle, and using Bear form
to stall for time while your mana re-gens if necessary. But this is
definitely slower and more complicated even if you spec for it. Druids
are not as good at nuking as Warlocks, Mages, Priests or even I dare
say Shamen. Especially since good +Spell Dmg gear is non-existent until
later in the game.

2) Druid stealth is exactly the same as Rogue stealth. You even have
almost identical attacks... Same type of openning and finishing moves,
just named differently.

The main difference though is that the weapons don't contribute to your
damage as much as with a Rogue. You're not gimped in Cat form, but
you're not as tweakable either. For example, you won't be dual weilding
2 Assassin's Blades at L19 with Crusader and Icy Weapon. In fact, the
best Druid weapons are only useful for their stats, like the Warden
Staff or Unyielding Maul.

Hope that helps.

Druid prowl is similar to rogue stealth, but there is no vanish
or distract so there is less room for error.

Druids also make good anti-rogues, because they can track
humanoids while stealthed, and hit rogues with Faerie Fire
to prevent them from vanishing. But that's PvP.
