I'm gonna remove a skill and add roots. Which skill would you prefer a Druid to have, shield of bark or abundance?

I dont see any reason to add roots with the Red Bosses around.

You can only root up to lvl 90, and +408 HP works everywhere. You should be able to solo an Elder or Ember without the roots, although they are useful against Dreadclouds. It's not a necessary skill by any means until maybe PvP, but that looks like it could not be out for another 5 weeks.

So lol I gotta argue personally against it. But Bark trumps Abundance, but IMHO Abundance trumps Roots,

Do you ever notice a difference in mobs hitting less damage with bark on?

Sounds like people really like bark. Why is this? Does it really help that much? I cant really notice.

i no for a fact mobs/bosses hit less with bark on, and with protective stance and bark it works really good so bark for sure :)

Tank here...


Abundance a million times over bark.

Why?

Abundance - Hit me all day and all night - If a Druids there (must be or I'm not getting either), I can be healed.

Bark - Can't heal bark. The added armor? Um, I'm a tank - I better not be in the fight wearing no armor or I'm not a tank.

Roots are great if you and rangers or mages want to bypass having a tank. With roots, I still can't be right up there or no point - I still get whomped on.

Same for me, I can use rangers and mages to avoid druids if none are around... Not as easy, but it works :twisted:

I still haven't figured out a reason to have rogues... Unless I want to KS and I still out hit 80% of them. :roll:


So, my opinion Abundance by a mile.
