Builds for Night Elf
Druid · Feral Combat
Night Elf Druid: Feral from Teldrassil
Solo leveling for a Night Elf Druid 1–60 as Feral (cat for normal mobs, bear when things get dangerous) with a crit-built talent path that makes the most of Elune's Light. 0/31/0 at 40 and 0/41/10 at 60 with no respec. Theorycraft – not play-tested on live, and everything above 30 is theory (the beta stopped at 30).
Warrior · Protection
Night Elf & Gnome Warrior: Shield and Revenge
Solo leveling for a Night Elf or Gnome Warrior 1–60 as Protection with a one-handed weapon and shield: 0/0/31 and Shield Slam at 40, then Fury for Rage and crit, ending at 0/20/31 at 60; race differences for every race in race boxes. Theorycraft – the beta only went to 30, so everything above 30 is untested.
The guides adapt their race boxes to the chosen race – these fit too:
Druid · Feral Combat
Skyborne Druid: Feral with the bear as your safety margin
Solo leveling for a High Order Skyborne Druid (Alliance) 1–60 as Feral: cat against single mobs, bear when things get dangerous, and a tank-friendly talent path. 0/31/0 at 40 and 0/50/1 at 60 with no respec. Theorycraft – not play-tested on live, and everything above 30 is theory (the beta stopped at 30).
Priest · Shadow
Gnome Priest: Shadow + Wand
Solo leveling for a Gnome Priest 1–60 with Shadow + Wand: 2/0/29 at 40 without a respec, Shadowform at 42 and 9/0/42 at 60. Theorycraft – not tested on live, and everything above 30 is theory (the beta stopped at 30).
Rogue · Combat
Gnome Rogue: Combat solo leveling
Solo leveling for a Gnome Rogue 1–60 with Combat (0/31/0 at 40, 18/33/0 at 60) and the Gnome's Eureka! as a burst button. Theorycraft – the talent order is validated against client data 1.60.1.70755 but not tested in game; everything above level 30 is theory because the beta stopped there.
