Why does a damn summon have a targeting circle anyway? Odd.

Also, they need a pet bar.

trees have a pet par

did you watch the video i posted? i do a decent-sized aoe pull near the end. basically i pop all my trees, then +spell pwr trinket and starfall. pulls anything within 30 yards and you can run around to pull more. it's fun watching the trees run off as soon as you pop starfall . i just keep running around pulling as many mobs as i can while i have starfall up, then try and kite them enough that they're in a more-or-less tight group, turn around and blast them with typhoon. i clean up any that are still alive with wrath/moonfire

Wait, what? :huh:

Okay, good, finally. Didn't last time I cast it, but admittedly that was an expansion ago.

Now where's my "WTF why is it still GTAoE"? Does it double as an AoE nuke like Inferno (aka Summon Infernal)? No. So why is it GTAoE? Doomkin boxers demand normal summon mechanics in the name of great forest spam!

i'd like to be able to "self target" the summon, like hold alt to summon the trees at my location, however for solo boxing i can see the worth of having GTAoE. if you see trees running towards you, you're going to immediately look in the direction they came from, whereas if they appear right next to you it may take a few more seconds to find the battle chicken that summoned them.

And i saw you have Brambles in your talents: Which increases your trees damage by 15% and chance to daze them.

I mean, is it really worth it? Do treants really do so much dps?

I'd also go for having that capability for all GTAoE spells...

Sure. Much more so if you have 15 of them out. "Worth it" would depend on where else you're not putting points in exchange.

Hey guys,

For those 20 people in the BETA list that I spoke to for testing out my new mouseclicking AOE/Tree'ing tool I have coming out soon, please send me a PM with your email address that I can send a copy of the mouse clicking program (code named MC ). I will be sending out code and registration keys in the next day or 2.

Thanks!

To the person who asked if treants do much damage...

... at level 74 my 15 treants could tank and destroy a 75 world quest elite that had 180k hp all by themselves. So yes, 15 trees definitely WTFPWNS.

Also imagine it from a PVP perspective. Imagine suddenly 15 red characters suddenly appears and starts to do massive damage to you. 15 treants literally will cause a cloth character to instantly drop from full to 0.

UPDATE: Last night I was grinding mobs @ level 76 when I spy'd a group of 3 warlocks questing together. I stealthed up to the middle of them and popped my 15 trees instantly w/auto aggro triggered and the 3 warlocks literally all turned to corpses immediately. They literally all dissapeared seemingly the moment I hit the "[" button (which is my tree button). It was so awesome I damn near cried. I really should have frapped it.

Haha awesome

Im getting my trees today and the water splash ability

I am level 45 now so i just do RAF Searing Gorge, Tanaris and WPL today and i would be around level 53. Too bad it went so fast to be honest I really like leveling when it goes sooo fast.

The Typhoon spell might just be my favorite one on all the druids. 5x Typhoon utterly destroys. Plus the ability to DPS while staggering 5x Typhoons out for constant CC is really, REALLY fun.
