I just read the thread lol.

Halflings are terrible in every aspect of the game. Almost as bad as gnomes. I used to charge double to powerlevel those races because they are so awful.

Tunare druid is great for a few reasons.

Gloves in PoGrowth being a big one.
Root neck being another big one.
Never having to do PoGrowth raids is another one. Trash clear for 6 hours lol NOP.

Clicky root isn't to be overestimated though. It is crappy root with a not too stellar cast time. It has its uses though they aren't make or break. It's what, 4-5 clicks casted on mobs to match Engorging Root's duration? The amount of time spent clicking vs medding (assuming you aren't timing casts to tics) would probably have you losing mana.

That being said, when mobs are resisting root or having early breaks this item helps preserve mana. Which is going to be happening more come Velious.

Also it's 10 DMG per root. With more 51+ summoners in Velious, you will find this being a useful means to CC said mobs. Currently you can only park once or twice with Engorging Roots before the 190 DMG drops the mob into summoning HP. With this you can park pretty indefinitely, and again, early breaks are a minimal issue especially once you can Ensnare.

Clicky DS also... Imagine you have Robe of the Spring, ES BP or Velious BP, Gloves of the Earthcrafter and Velious Boots. That's mana free Clicky HP buff, Regen, DS and SoW. Never have to waste mana on newbies again. Rejoice. Mana free-aggro free, DPS castable on anyone anywhere is very nice. It isn't our best DS this is true. But it is castable on anyone so that sort of makes up for it.

This isn't fashionquest, if you play EQ for the graphics I feel bad for you. Unless you use Luclin models, then you can burn at the stake you heretic. No reason to roll a Human just to have robe graphic.

Tl;dr - Elves are best. Half-Elf if you want the road less traveled and to look like a distinguished gentleman. I don't always play a druid, but when I do, I prefer Half-Elf. *cue Dos Equis Meme*
