What good is classic Treeform?

[Xer0]

I honestly like to cast the tree illusion on myself and go to business per usual in heals mode.. You can continue to cast while a tree, you can change between sit and stand and I'm pretty sure its effective as an illusion in that mobs wont attack you on sight... at least that's what I've noticed.

Why the fuck would you waste mana on sow when the spell essentially roots you in place?

As mentioned before, the level 9 treeform spell grants really stellar health regen for a cheap initial mana cost and an extended length duration. At the time you get it at level 9, you can use it to Porcupine tank some tough targets with thorns cast on yourself, again and again.

Pretend that you're in South Ro at an orc camp that you used Harmony to clear out to single spawns. You can remain in tree form and tank orcs for days without casting a single heal. The downside is that this server has your tree size and hitbox being WAY larger than old retail. It's stupid that mobs will get to that "you must move closer to hit" range as often as they do. The upside to this is that if you cast it on a crease of the zone floor, the illusion doesn't form but you still get the effect (and have a smaller hit box).

I'll agree that it's broken towards how monsters interact with you. The dwarven bandits in Butcherblock could care less about me when I was a tree on old retail. Here, they'll remain aggressive which is wrong. It used to give you the *exact* same faction shift as the Enchanter's Lesser Illusion spell.

it's to annoy people which is most valuable

that's like asking "What good is minor illusion"

using it in crowded zones then spamming your Rod of Insidious Glamour at people shouting about how you're a magic bush

what could be better than that?

Also, I have absolutely nothing to add to this thread.

I used to treeform myself on sister island to kill elona and hugin tunbrin.

the HP regen was awesome.

I guess against outdoor dragons it will stop you from running in fear?

Do treeform and spirit of the oak actually do this? That's pretty cool, if yes. I mean, not that being stuck in place but still without control of your character is really a GOOD thing... but it's slightly less bad than running around I guess.

I seem to remember Bark Potion did this, I don't see why tree form wouldn't.

Maybe I am crazy but I seem to remember you could move around a bit in Treeform. We would get like 6 or 7 Druids and sort of block the whole entrance to the tunnel on Torvo. But that was a LONG time ago. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
