Which is the fastest class in WoW?
After experimenting a bit with the Death Knight and the Druid, I've been wondering which of the classes in the game has the potential to be the fastest at level 90. I'm looking for the following qualifyers:
- All class features and spells that create a faster form for the character (the Druid's forms, the Shaman's Spirit Wolf and so on)
- Abilities that give a flat increase to speed: via spells, glyphs and talents. (Feline Swiftness, Death's Advance and others)
- Equipable or usable items that give a bonus to speed at level 90, are not bound to location and has a duration of AT LEAST as long as the cooldown.
- Mounts that can be used in any locations you are allowed to use mounts (this will likely boil down to a flying mount with Master Riding, but I'm asking just in case).
And are there maybe other things that I have missed that can make you go faster?
Best Answer
All characters have the same base speed, so the following is the fastest (I believe)
Up to level 70 it would be Epic Mount (100%) + Carrot on a Stick (3%) + Riding Skill Enchant (2%) + Mithril Spurs (4%) giving a total of 218% of the base speed
Rogues with Nightstalker and spamming Burst of Speed will give you 204% speed
Shaman and Druid's travel forms will, when combined with the PVP-Rare set gives a 161% increase sustained.
Get those people to then carry Runeblade of Baron Rivendare (+8%) and a boot speed enchantment (8%) and I think that's your max. Most movement speed boosts don't stack.
You could have burst speed improvements, but over a long period of time the sustained speed will beat them.

In terms of pure speed, but not necessarily the ability to \u201czip around\u201d, I would say Druids are the fastest (especially for gathering professions and ability to break most snares/roots). Zipping around itself is pretty fun as a DH.What is the fastest class to level in WoW Shadowlands?

Answer 2
Havoc Demon Hunters. I have 35%+ movement speed due to mastery(do not use mastery for anything other than this), not to mention the double dash and backflip. With enough mastery stacked, they can potentially be the fastest by merely running.
