Sheild of Bark...

I was just thinking, not really sure if this is already in place but... Would it be a good idea if as you level up sheild of bark, when you cast it on yourself your skills become less interruptable?

I like the idea but itd have to be a small increase in negating interruptions... The second we got our bark high enough to drastically reduce interruption of natures touch is the second we become op.

To me, shield of bark is sort of useless anyway.

Yeah, its not completely useless but its saddening. a 50/30 bark only reduces damage by 100 per hit most of the time. This is approximately the same as a 40 bark does. Currently hoping that update will make armor more valuable.

50/35 bark is awesome if the person tanking isn't a warrior , I know as a ranger/rogue/Mage it makes me very happy

To th OP:
Druids have grasping roots, now I know that most Druids don't use them, but they are a skill for a reason.
If I remember rightly, they last abut 15-20 seconds and you can recast them just as the previous one runs out.
If you root, walk back, cast bark and start fighting again, you wont get interruptions.
And I know an exclusion is spell casting mobs, but you should still get a bark off during the gaps in their spells.
This was the npmain way a Druid levelled solo before this current update.

I find shield bark very useful. Mine gives me about 100 armor and it's only at like lvl 11.

My lvl 35 bark adds 475 armour. Not sure why you don't think this helps, tanks beg for my bark they like it so much. My abundance was about 800 but find that bark works better for boss fighting due to less healing is needed. Cast embrace and bark on non tanks and they are set for two minutes so i can focus on the tank. Breath keeps everyone near the tank healthy.

Sheild of bark is a great skill, on boss runs (Aggy, pyrus) if a druid has bark maxed they could add 450-500 armor reducing the hits taken by then tank making it easier for druids to heal.
