Why was Druid Tree form removed?

I actually liked seeing trees do the healing, I know it was a bit lame that you had to be in a Tree form for your healing to be on par with other healers but than the same can be said for Moonkin form. Why is the Moonkin form still in the game. You need to be in it if you dont want to lose on a lot of your damage.

Tree form still exist though?

You can also cast wrath etc. from it.

They made it into a cooldown, and give it a hideous animation.

As Elahri said, you can get a glyph for it, but it’s on the GCD, and it costs mana to use iirc.

This.
I still use it while healing. The procc/incarn version of treeform : I call Broccoli.
So I go from tree to broccoli during proccs/cd :slight_smile:

Just learn it and you can still use small tree 24/7

Yeah I mean I know about the glyph but what was the reason for removing it from being a mandatory thing if you still need to use boomkin form if you wanna do your max dps.

Because I would understand if they didn’t want to force druids to be in a form to do maximum damage and healing, but I guess thats not the case if they still force druids to use moonkin (or at least astral) form to do max damage.

If I had to guess, the healer being immune to polymorphs is probably a part of it.

I wouldn’t be surprised since mages and rogues are two classes which counter every class :stuck_out_tongue: Mage can spellsteal all druids hots with one click, but druid can’t be immune to poly. I’m surprised Frost Nova isn’t unbreakable :o

Transmogs was the reason.

Doubt as 3 from 4 druids specs still has this issue .

Apparently people complained that they couldn’t see their armor as a druid. This was before transmog was a thing. They added it back as a cosmetic glyph in a later expansion.

It does, but is only a visual effect of sorts - nothing practical comes with it.

Back in the day, this was the reason Resto was OP - they were poly immune (and a lot of mages would pvp, of course). But, their heals were so sick that fighting a resto was funnily named a combat log. :rofl:

Anyways OP, it exists as a talentable cooldown on the… maybe 6th row.

I mean I prefer it this way.
You can be in tree 24/7 OR be tmog-race and heal.
Best of both worlds.
Its a choice, like everything should be more open to imo.

I have a blast popping a toy and tanking/catdps while druid too to see my mog and be less animaly sometimes. :slight_smile: depends on my mood!
I love having the choice.
