Once again Phae, wonderful post! It helps me reaffirm that we are indeed awesome, and i think we do have the most fun of all the classes ^^

Done.

@Drun: I’m totally stealing that macro. Thanks!

@Donjio: I’m very glad you enjoyed it. I had a wonderful time writing it, and it made me feel a lot better amidst all the bad news.

@Benji: -happy dance- indeed! Thanks for sharing the post!

@Lin: I am on the edge of my seat waiting for Runy and Gray’s response. Runy will no doubt be the more … colorful … of the two, though maybe there’s a vulgar side to Graylo we have yet to see.

@Anna: I’d love to see it! I bet you could do a lot of fun stuff for Shamans!

@Kelerain: What a lovely adaptation to one of my favorite S&G songs! “Boomkin causes pain” … hahaaha… Thank you!

@Tone: Cute avatar. Video capture or it didn’t happen.

@Zackoria: You may be the only person I’ve met more fanatical about Treedom than I am. ^_^

@Sloshy: Why thank you, sir! And thank you for commenting, too!

This was also a much needed post with all the resto nerfs (now reverted somewhat)and the constant expac woes.

We are trees! we shall heal the world! Fighting for truth, justice, and GCD nerfs! TREE AT LAST TREE AT LAST! HoTs FOR ALL! WE ARE TREES AT LAST!!!

Meanwhile, I recently discovered that another “bad time” to assert your Treeness is during the Brewfest Dark Iron attacks… while we can drink and toss mugs with the best of them, we apparently don’t have a “whirlwind” animation in Tree Form, so getting the “Superbrew” buff turns you into what looks like a moving statue… or, more accurately:

A BARK-COVERED ICE-SKATING JUGGERNAUT OF DOOM!

On second thought, maybe that makes it a “good time” to assert your Treeness after all.

A warcraft night
In a deep and dark raid instance;
I am alone,
Gazing from my screen to the raid below
On a freshly gathered group with skills so low
I am tree,
I am a healer.

I’ve built hots,
A stack so deep and mighty,
That none may penetrate.
I have no need of boomkin, boomkin causes pain.
It’s nuking and it’s aggro I disdain.
I am a tree,
I am a healer.

Don’t talk of bears,
But I’ve heard the words before;
It’s sleeping in my feral tree.
I won’t disturb the slumber of talents that have died
If I never tanked I never would have cried.
I am a tree,
I am a healer.

I have my hots
And my resto tree to protect me;
I am shielded in my barkskin,
Hiding in my room, safe until I’m oom.
I touch no one and no one touches me.
I am a tree,
I am a healer

And a tree feels no pain;
And a healer never cries.
