If mobs are point blank will the lvl59 snare and lvl60 root hit the caster?

Both are targeted AE so yes they will hit the caster

This has gotten me into some very interesting situations.

Haha I am glad I asked. Hopefully I can avoid a few of those situations.

Another new-to-60 druid question. Does the mana regen from mask of the hunter stack with spirit of oak? What about with clarity?

Yes and yes. We have really nice mana regen at 60, outdoors at least. Just a warning, expect everyone to hate you if you cast oak in Fear.

you just turn into a big ass obnoxious tree

and by big ass tree I mean fucking huge

stacking c2, Hunter Mask, Oak (and eventually Glades) is the best mana-at-tick possible. You can also stack Fungi tunic, regrowth/staff, natureskin and Oak.

In essence, Oak is fucking sick.

Shhh, stop telling everyone how freaking awesome we are . . .

It's a secret, like my leveling buddy, Edvard Tommels . . .

There is or atleast was a bug where if you cast Spirit of Oak while in another illusion (like wolf form), it would overwrite wolf form, and make you appear as a human... Not a tree. To prevent the obnoxiously huge target box you get as a tree.

Spirit of Oak is limited in use for me. The primary situation I use it in is when I'm OOM post-death or in other OOM situations. I throw on Oak, Mask, Regrowth and begin clicking Robe+Manastone. Gets you to full mana a few min faster than just medding does. Oak is perfect for this because while the mana regen is nice the HP Regen is huge if you have a Manastone.

Come Velious, Glades is on same line as Oak and Oak becomes a lot less useful. Again mostly in just post death recovery situations.

Protip:

Druids have two outdoor only spells that are important. Mask and SoW. When in a dungeon, you cannot recast these relatively easily. However if you die in a dungeon group or raid, when you get a rez box, if you cast one of these spells and accept the rez box at the last second, you get rezzed and the buff gets applied after rez effects.

Used this all the time in classic and on Mac server. It helps for recovering mana faster post death if you have Mask from the second you get rezzed. Or if you need SoW for pulling indoor, you can opt to do that instead. Wolf form doesn't work sadly cause the Rez forces a zoning.

you can fix this by using an illusion first ( wolf form or perhaps a Guise of the Deceiver like that Eratani guy ) then when you cast Spirit of Oak you dont become a tree but bug out to be like a human or just your normal race

however sometimes you still appear as a tree to the players around you using this trick, but it should affect your visible form that you see on your computer 99% of the time which is what is most important right?
