Incarnation: Tree of Life Healing increased by 15%. Armor increased by 120%. Some spells are enhanced. Duration: 30 seconds

Incarnation: Tree of Life (or often nicknamed Tree Form, Healing Form or Treant Form) is a level 40 Restoration druid talent. It allows the druid to temporarily shapeshift into the tree of life, increasing healing by 15% and armor by 120%, granting immunity to polymorph effects, and enhancing several spells. Lasts 30 seconds.

Notes

While in tree form, the druid can cast spells just as in caster form, and several spells are enhanced:

• [Rejuvenation] healing increased by 50% and cost reduced by 30%
• [Wild Growth] affects an additional 2 targets.
• [Regrowth] becomes instant cast.
• [Entangling Roots] becomes instant cast.

The instant cast [Regrowth] and improvements to [Wild Growth] and [Rejuvenation] make it an especially potent raid healing form, but the 15% bonus to all healing makes it a good cooldown for any healing crisis.

With regard to consumables and items, Tree of Life works the same as being in humanoid form. The only exception is that you cannot mount in this form. Racial abilities work as normal in tree form.

This form has animations for dance, cheer, applaud, cry, bow, wave, and sleep emotes, however the Night Elf model cannot dance.

Trivia

• Tree of Life is an epic Druid spell in the Goblins vs Gnomes expansion of Hearthstone. The flavor text reads: "Healing: It grows on trees!"

Tips and tactics

In the World of Warcraft: Trading Card Game.

• The 15% healing increase makes Tree a decent cooldown for any occasion.
• Tree form is especially handy for healing on the move. The ability to spam [Regrowth] while running allows trees to heal while moving.
