Halfling Druid - Should i reroll for Tunare in case warden symbol is added?

[Erati]

you guys are cray... the Tunare Warden neck is very OP if you like to solo and adventure around as a druid

you wont be using it all the time but I promise you, having a free root clicky will get used more than you realize, esp when root and snare stack

there is zero reason to be a halfling or human druid unless you are into roleplaying

Wood Elf or Half Elf Tunare druid all day everyday except never be Half Elf bc they have major fail wisdom

Wood Elf Druid > all

Sneak for halflings and robe graphics / equipable for humans are honestly pretty nice advantages.

Why would I use a low duration, long cast time root over a 75 mana root with fast cast time and long duration though? I'm guessing mana conservation?

The root neck doesnt translate into bigger more epic kills than you were druiding before getting the clicky root neck.

Not at all.

However.

With this neck you can simply always keep your mobs rooted FOREVER, and it costs zero mana.

Imagine we are in Velious and root/snare stack.

You are charming in Sirens Grotto. Pet breaks will murder you.

Isnt it nice that while ur pet is raping face on your target, using no mana you can not only keep Drones of Doom on your target for free damage, but you can also keep your target snared also for free thanks to your epic and low and behold you can also keep your target perma rooted at, you guessed it, absolutely no mana cost

Its not going to make you suddenly kill mobs you couldnt before like a Robe of the Spring/Puppet Strings can, but I am always going to be carrying it along with the Haste neck all the time ( when that comes back, pls bring the Haste clicky neck back )

Snared, rooted and dotted - Forever and at no mana cost.

That has value, esp if the only barrier of entry to this power is simple race selection.

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*

Any Druid could do this though right, they'd just have to mem Grasping Roots?

If by "terrible" you mean FREAKING EPIC, then yes, Halflings are "terrible".

No substitute for sneak ability available to non-Halflings.

Robe of the Spring is tradable

you dont need to purchase loot rights or do the VP key quest

just port your ass off for donations and save 200K lol

then you can wear the Robe which btw Samwise, is not restricted in terms of races...ALL druid races can wear it...robe graphic or not

nice i was under the impression it was like all other robes. good to know [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Spell gems are a druids most valuable asset. Having to juggle gems for level 5 root is very annoying. Devoting it to your bar on top of good root sucks a lot too.
