- They are the fruit sprung from the seeds of service to nature.[1]
With just a call, Nature itself will rise up against my foes.
Provides the Druid with 3 Treants to attack an enemy target for 30 seconds.
Notes
The summoned treants melee-attack only, and can hit for about 80 - 115 damage in lvl 60. However, the spell damage and the attack power of the Moonkin Druid gets added to the melee attack of the treants. Not only that, but the attack is immensely fast, being able to burn through enemies quite quickly. Very useful against casters in PvP as the three trees quickly do a lot of damage and make it difficult to get off non-instant spells.
At level 70 against unarmored targets they hit for an average of about 176 base damage, plus about between 7% and 10% of your +spell damage (per hit). Attack speed is somewhere between 1.5s and 1.8s.

- The druid has no control whatsoever over the treants, and they will attack the closest target they can find when summoned. If that target dies while the treants are active, they will return to the caster. They are set to passive by default and will only attack something that attacks the caster after their initial target is dead. In instances and raids they can be dangerous and should only be used when it is certain they will despawn during or after the fight.
- The summoned treants are practically useless against any mob with an AOE attack as they will die very quickly. This includes many bosses.
- This spell is especially effective in PvP as a terror weapon. Many players will lose focus or panic when suddenly assaulted by 3 extra opponents. Even if the player is experienced, the incoming damage forces them to take some form of defensive action. Additionally if this spell is used and no target is immediately attacked enemies may be cautious to attack the Druid knowing that the first person who does will be attacked by the treants.
- Against Mages, who have lots of area of effect spells, the treants will usually be able to get off only a few hits before they die. However, since this spell costs so little, it is still useful for wasting a mages mana. Of course this is assuming that the mage in question is a good player, and knows what to do when attacked by three melee opponents.
- They have normal mob aggro.
- If the treants are the only ones attacking a target for the entire duration of the fight and end up killing it, said target will not yield any Experience or Honor.
