In Reply to: forest haven, treeform, shield of thorns....pretty much very little reason you should stick around if you are getting beat on....nt posted by Khwarismians on April 26, 2000 at 04:37:55:
All these points valid. And you can relativly(sp?) easy get stone skin/shield. Sorry I do not know about aura/barrier.
Some comments on skills/sup of druid :
Armor of thorns is really nice.
Treeform only landed me in trouble. It is just more convinient just to recall.
Forest haven - sux.
It works only if you are in the wooden square.
and works like vanish save to you would land to wooden square in same area as well.
Does not work in no_recall or no_exit (not sure but it did not work in spider web west of Galadin).
I would rather have old teleport_type version of forest heaven.
Herbal forage - basically booster for some of your skills.
Can be really helpful if you know where to get what.
The hunt - You would not kill anybody with it on rank you get it.
I use it to prevent recalling/teleporting.
Thornheart/spores - nice for long run fights.
Should have spored that damn assassin to stop him vanishing like crazy.
entangle/spike growth - short term dex reducers.
Plant growth - you gain most profit out of it if you as Sylvan.
fire seeds/sunray/thorn - damage supp. with different side affects.
Call of the wild/liveoak - Mobs to help you. Not very relayeble(sp?).
Call lightning - well I think everybody knows what does it do.
Rest of supplications are mostly supportive.
P.S. I would like to hear some comments from players who play(ed) druids.
Sent me e-mail if you do not want to discuss it on forum.
