In World of Warcraft, the Druid class gives your character shapeshifting ability. This alone makes it awesome.

When you start playing, all your character can do is cast spells and heal. You play ten levels like this to train you how to play a caster.

At level ten, you learn how to shapeshift into a Bear form that gives you more armor. Bear form is the Tank; meaning that like an army tank, you have thick armor, and swing slow, but hit hard. This is like turning into a warrior.

At sixteen, you gain Sea Lion, which lets you swim faster and breathe under water.

At twenty, you gain Cat form, which lets you turn invisible. You don't have as much armor as Bear form, but you hit twice as fast, and kill things much faster. This is like turning into a rogue.

In World of Warcraft, there are three sets of ability charts called Talent Trees. Every time you level up, you get a talent point to put on something in one of the talent trees. The trees are Balance (the spell caster tree), Feral (the tree to pump up your damage and armor in cat and bear form) and Restoration (the tree to amplify your healing spells).

When you put in enough talent points to Balance to complete the tree, you unlock Moonkin form. This transforms you into an Owlbear creature that boosts your spellcasting to rival that of a mage or a warlock.

If you put enough points into the Restoration talent tree to complete it, you unlock Tree of Life form. This transforms you into a tree with boosted healing capabilities.

As you can see, there are lots of options for leveling up a druid. Specializing in Balance/moonkin is decent for leveling, if you prefer killing your enemies with lightning.

However, going Feral is probably the fastest way to level. After all, who doesn't like to kill monsters in ten seconds or less? Or even better, kill three or four enemies at once without dying? That's what you're capable of when you go Feral and pump up your Cat and Bear forms.

It is possible to level up while specialized in Restoration, but it is difficult to do much damage and you die a lot.

The first ten levels are easy to level, but after that, you get to start picking your specialization. Feral is the easiest to level. Learn to kill two or three enemies at once while in bear form, and practice transforming out of your animal to throw heals on yourself. This becomes an important strategy later, while running dungeons and raids.

When you unlock Cat form at level twenty, use it! Feral druids rely on the Stealth ability to sneak around
