I remember back in TBC Battlegrounds druids in their treant form were almost immortal. Nothing seemed to stop them, they came, healed, and moved back to safety.
I wanted to play a druid treant like those guys, but what I am watching is that the trend form is not used 
at least no in arenas.
The treant form is not useful in arenas?
Treant was used in pve all the time and pvp likely never as far as I remember
Treeform became good for PvP in Wotlk when you got extra armor and they removed 20% speed penalty.
I remember no one being able to kill me as resto druid in TBC but I also didnât have enough power to kill anyone else either. Only way you could potentially die is if you got mana drained to hell and innervate was on CD or something.
I could kill them with my Rogue. But it takes timeâŚ
They couldnât be successful in arenas because only HoT were allowed in that form (iirc).
Resto Shamans were also tough for a Rogue.
Treant form was rarely taken for PvP builds as taking Feral charge or going restokin was stronger, on top of warlock being able to banish you if they caught you in treantform (as i recall).
Naw, no druid used Tree form in PvP. It was too slow.
Hereâs what you saw happening.
Druid Regrowth, Rejuvenation and Lifebloomâd himself. Druid swapped in to bear.
Druid was unkillable (well not really), but a well geared druid could easily outlast 6 people trying to kill him even if they were equally well geared only countered by Dispel Magic classes (but letâs be honest here, they rarely use their dispel). I donât remember any healing reduction abilities affecting much if anything. I do remember having 9 Alliance Players trailing me in WSG and not able to kill me.
Tree form is unsappable. May sound like a niche bonus but thereâll be a lot of rogues on arenas.
However itâs banishable and slow and barely any other perks.
Tree form is not bad but it comes at a cost --> there are other much more useful talents for pvp.
We played Rogue/Rogue (Human, Gnome) setup in Season 1 and 2. If the Druid wasnât smart enough, to start in Bear Form, he was dead in less time, that his Warrior/Rogue/Warlock partner had to wait in Sap, Blind. About 15-20 seconds maximum. Thatâs two (not 6) opponents, and relatively poorly geared.
I didnât play higher than 1850 though. Donât know if Druids get better, and Rogues get worse in higher ratings.
I see guys. I guess my memory is of one druid in treant form that got lucky scaping. Didnât know it was a slow form. Well, I am still trying arenas as a druid, the CCâs are amazing.
Yeah, but that was like entry rating xD. Very few people would have had any gear at that point if any.
A druid dressed in full pvp gear was unkillable, obviously if you get the drop on it, thereâs not much he can do with perma-stuns, but you try to win against a druid that were fully HoT buffed in bear form and it would be a different story. He would likely kill you before you even got close to kill him.
Speaking of experience ;).
Thatâs why I said, about smart Druids waiting in Bear Form, instead of having the illusion, that two Subtlety Rogues, wonât find him.
In 1vs1 situation, if not being caught in âhumanâ form, yes they were tough. I donât recall if I could defeat them.
