What good is classic Treeform?

What good is classic Treeform? Im currently using Spirit of Oak and have played with the level 9 Treeform, realizing that majority of mobs see through it, I recall in classic that treeform gave you at least indifferent to a handful of mobs because.. obviously your a tree! why bother!

I would assume most undead see you behind the illusion, but even now being in FoB the iksar bandits, guards, scorpions, skeletons, bonecrawlers, etc etc see through it, is this classic?

I mean, you look like a tree. Def + in my book

I thought tree form had a small boost to mana Regen

[fastboy21]

its a role playing game...how dare they add spells with no obvious in-game "use" other than role playing.

Mostly for fun. It makes you look like a tree.

Level 9 version adds a small amount of health regen, level 59 version adds health and mana regen. Neither add enough to really be useful, especially since they also remove your SoW.

What?!?!

That's crazy talk. Spirit of Oak is amazing; it basically gives you clarity that stacks with clarity 2. I'm also fairly sure that the regular treeform adds a substantial amount of hitpoint regeneration; so its useful for situations where you don't wanna waste mana on a regular regen (treeform is only 10 mana.)

I used it by for playing Hide and Seek on Bertox years ago. Have a druid say "Find me for X item or plat!" Treeform in EC or another forested area and shazam

Treeform costs 30 mana. You have to re-cast your SoW so it's 70 mana total. It adds a tiny amount of health regen, you'd have to sit still for 3 minutes to break even with the healing you'd get from just casting your healing spells.

Spirit of Oak is better, but "amazing" is a stretch. The mana you get from medding under Spirit of Oak is less than 50% better than regular meditate, and there is still a 65 mana initial investment. You also have to sit there without SoW on. The biggest problem with Spirit of Oak is that it is a level 59 spell, so you can't even cast it until you are done with most of your outdoor leveling.

Good point. At that stage of the game you are pretty much done with even playing a Druid. Just a port whore for guild and friends.

Spirit of Oak is one of the best spells in the druid's repertoire. Fungi + Regrowth + Treeform is something like 47 hp/tick. With a manastone this is a huge deal. Without Manastone/Fungi it still is a godmode spell. Its like 10 mana/tick 17 hp/tick. You are a moron if you are doing any outdoor camp and not using this.

Protip: If you cast wolf form first then you just become a giant version of your race and it doesn't cause the annoying giant tree hit/click box
