What good is classic Treeform?

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.]

I remember this on Torvon. Who were you there?

A number of mobs are not supposed to aggro you while in treeform. I'm not sure if its working correctly here, but on live I distinctly remember giants in Frontier Mountains conning as dubious on live way back in the day.

Brilliant spell when used properly.

It's a cheap way to heal if you need to med for a while anyway.
It's particularly good if you can find a spot where you can pull and kill without having to move, so the regen is happening all the time. Use porcupine mode to kill the mobs.

Healing is free. You just need to med for offensive magic. You will level almost twice as fast with the free regen.

There aren't a lot of places where you can do this.
One that used to work well was the tower on the osland with 2 close aviak guards up top. (in lake rathe). I think that got broken somehow though.

I've also made it work on the bandit camp in the NW of NK. You really need to know your harmony spell.

One annoying thing is when the mobs run away and you need to cancel treeform to loot them. If it's a toon I don't suppose that matters though.

Note also that treeform gets better with level. Up to a point.

On the original servers it was possible to get knocked through the world by some mobs. I think it was bash that did it. I've never seen that happen on p1999 though.

Bad thing is it cancels sow which is the stupid historical quirk that we must endure. Irritating but not such a big deal. Esp if you are under level 14.

Makes it easy for people to find you if you/they are ever lost. Just spin in circles.

I use Spirit of Oak for a few thinks.

Mainly for when I am Manastone/Clicky Healing. Regrowth+Oak ends up being about 30 HP a tick, which is a free Manastone every 2 ticks. Roughly 10 mana a tick. Plus the mana regen it actually provides. It helps going from oom to FM quicker.

Also I will use it when powerleveling in Unrest if I'm pulling basically the whole zone sans first floor stuff. It allows me to almost never have downtime for medding and never have to wait on respawns cause there's always stuff.

I use it occasionally on a dragon fight underneath the mob to root self in place if I may get feared... But not really worth it once you get decent MR gear.

And lastly to make fun corpses.

[Daldaen]

Yea it does. But it doesn't block fear outright. It just keeps you still.

Useful if your Druid is low level or low MR i suppose.

I used treeform when soloing undead. Somewhat useful in PvP vs dumb opponents.
