The SO is really into it and I'd like to be able to play with her. Is it easy to pick up or is the learning curve pretty steep?

Super easy to pick up and play. Figure out what role you want to fill: Tank, DPS, or Healer. Keep in mind that some classes can fill multiple roles depending on spec.

Don't worry too much about gear/rotation etc until you get to max level.

That's good your SO likes it as you wouldn't have one if you only liked it. Facts

Thank you guys.

Would you all go ahead and pay to have a level 100 character or start from scratch?

If you buy the game I think you get one free boost to 110.

if its your first playthrough ever, i would start from scratch just to help learn your class and get the hang of rotations and mechanics


honestly though, ive been wanting to roll a healer, i can help you run

I will always recommend leveling your first character normally if only to give you time to really learn the class you choose to play. When you boost a character you immediately have to figure out the priorities of ALL of your skills right off the bat. It can be a bit much for a new player. Leveling a character slowly rolls out your skills and lets you get used to your core rotation and gives you adequate time to figure out your priorities and how the skills work off each other. Current content is kinda meh anyway. Enjoy the leveling experience.

The only time I would use my character boost on a first character would be if I'm playing with someone who already has a max level character. Leveling in WoW is fast, and you'll enjoy having that level 100 character in your back pocket when you create an alt.

Yeah I'd for sure level something all the way just for no other reason to see what you like and don't like then use the boost on another one. I'd hate to see you boost a char and hate it

It depends. If your SO already has a high/max level character it may take awhile for you to play with them.
I would guess it would take you around 60-80 hrs to get from level 0 to 110. That being said, it's a huge world and it's fun to discover things.

My main advice would be to timebox things (ie only 2 hrs tonight) as otherwise it can quickly suck up a lot of time without you realizing it.

Good luck and have fun!
