Balance druids with the treant talent in M+

Classes Druid
1
It's annoying as hell for tanks when they just pop it on CD. Similar to hunter pets with taunt always on.
2
Its very helpful in higher keys on command but spamming it can be annoying

the difference with hunter pets and treants is that the threat they generate disappears when they disappear so threat snaps back to the tank, where as a hunter pet keeps the threat. the fact that tanks running lower content would be so upset about treants that they would actually make a post on the forums is hilarious though.

It's the highest dmg talent in the row. Also you'll appreciate it when the Bursting mod means that the healer's mana pool is what limits your progression through the dungeon. That is a lot of extra hp you, the tank, won't have to lose.

a 10sec damage pause on the tank every 60sec is annoying?

Literally the best DPS utility ability in M+ right now, the main reason Balance is the top M+ class. Treants reduce so much damage, they are basically a 10 second AOE stun.

Just ask your druid to wait a few seconds before dropping them, after you have the mobs in place.

What is your problem man

As a tank I look forward for those extra aggro builder so I can relax so does healer

Seriously, I found it annoying at first. Then I recognized that it was being used to give me and the healer a break for a few seconds. It's actually super nice.

If you wanted to disregard a helpful utility ability like this so much you could just ask the druid to swap talents before starting the key.

Then the group would know you were bad and could leave or kick you.

I find that a lot of my pug tanks still don't understand treants so I'll spec out of them if I don't have a guildie tanking. They're incredibly useful for some affixes and reducing tank damage on higher keys, love me some treants.

By the way, as long as we're on this topic how do you guys pronounce treants? Was arguing with someone about it last night.

FoN practically nullifies Necrotic on big pulls. It also makes Skittish a non issue. On top of all this, it gives the tank/healer a reprieve for 10 seconds.

Now I know a lack of communication can cause problems for the tank. Seeing a bunch of nameplates lose aggro especially during skittish can be nerve-racking. I let my tank know Iā€™m dropping them even on trivial pulls because you are losing dmg if you only save them when the tank needs them.

The issue is having every threat plate suddenly suddenly swap from green to red. It makes the tank think they lost aggro on everything and causes panicked taunting.

The ability is useful, but it's definitely jarring in pugs.

Seeing a bunch of nameplates lose aggro is nerve-racking even if its not skittish lol

Communication always helps. That said once you see it for the break that it is for both tanks and heals. It helps a ton.

This is why I only run with M+ with Tanks I know. Because they know Treants are a blessing because YOU'RE NOT TAKING DAMAGE FOR 10 SECONDS YOU GIGANTIC FOOL.

And you're still generating more threat than everyone during that time, so when the Treants fade, guess what?! They go back to you! :D

Treants have saved my groups I don't know how many times this expac.

Disclaimer: I also have my Treants macro'd to say that I'm using them in chat.
