I’m a boomkin and have played 1000s of arena games as a boomkin. I still can’t figure out how they work exactly…
I’ll try my best to describe how I think they work and if anyone knows more plz chime in.
If I cast them within 10yards of a enemy player while I am out of combat they will attack that player until the player Vanishes/Bubbles/BoP/Iceblock/Invis/Feigns or they die.
I don’t know if they use agro like a mob or can be taunted? I don’t think they do b/c they would more often run to a healer but I find they will stick to their targets even when they don’t ever attack them. Maybe their threat reading range is 10yards? b/c somehow they can get split up on diff targets after all being on the same target (that never vanish/feign/etc).
If their current target dies and they run back to me they will not attack stuff I am casting on unless they are within 10 yards of it. They seem to choose targets at this point 100% based on their proximity.
If I am actively casting on something and summon them 60yards from that mob/player they will gain initial “agro” on w/e I most recently cast a spell on.
Sometimes they will all be on a different target. I’m not sure how that works.
If one of them is ever “agro’d” on something all 3 will be “agro’d” on something. There is never ever just 1 or 2 standing next to me if one is fighting.
If they are feared/hard cc’d they will return to their original target after the fear. If they are rooted they attack anything in range. I’m not sure if they go back to their original target after the root. Maybe this is how they can be split up on targets?
They are best used on a resto druid. They stick to them better than anything else and can do about 10k damage sometimes. Pretty good for 1 global.
I want to know how to more predictably get them to stick to something I want them to stick to.
Anyone have some insight? Maybe I’m the only Treant druid doing arenas ><
