'''Tree of Life Form''' (or often nicknamed '''Tree Form''', '''Healing Form''' or '''Treant Form''') is a druid spell in the [[Restoration]] tree. It requires 41 points and is a primary talent for resto specs. While shapeshifted, the druid gains immunity to polymorph effects but is considered an [[elemental]]. This means that the Tree of Life can be [[banish]]ed. Tree of Life Form used to have many restrictions and was almost unusable in [[PvP]], but there have been many changes since the talent was implemented that make it much more appealing and even more viable in PvP.

Tree of Life is primarily a raid healing form. While in tree form the druid can cast spells just as in caster form, and several spells are enhanced. [[Regrowth]] becomes instant cast, [[Wild Growth]] affects an additional 2 targets, [[Lifebloom]] can be cast on multiple targets, [[Entangling Roots]] becomes instant cast and [[Wrath]] has its cast time halved.
Tree of Life is primarily a raid healing form. The druid has access to the [[Healing Touch]] spell in this form, along with all Restoration Family Spells. It gives extremely efficient [[Heal over Time]] (HoT) spells due to its inherent bonuses ([[Lifebloom]] has an outstanding health-per-mana ratio), and combined with a wise use of [[Swiftmend]], makes a very solid main healer. When paired with another healer that uses fast-casting direct heals, such as a Paladin, Shaman, or Priest, a druid in Tree of Life form is arguably the best possible raid-wide healer in a raid setting. The aura, combined with the 20% mana cost reduction to HoTs, the ability to use [[innervate]], and the extra incentive ([[Living Spirit]] talent, as well as 6% Healing Power Tree of Life aura) to acquire large amounts of spirit gives this form incredible longevity while healing in a raid setting.
 
 
Tree of Life aura benefits the entire raid as of [[Patch 3.0.2]]. It however does not stack with [[Improved Devotion Aura]] or with other Tree of Life auras.
 
 
Tree of Life has amazing survivability against mobs. It has no health bonus like Bear Form, but can have the ability to give 100% Armor contribution increase when points are given for the right resto talent. Trees of Life can easily out heal all damage caused by multiple mobs several levels higher, while using very little mana. Druids can also [[innervate]] themselves when in Tree of Life form, so running out of mana is not likely to happen even in a long battle. However, as the Tree can only attack with simple melee attack and has very low damage per second, killing mobs in Tree of Life form is very slow and not recommended.
 
 
Against bosses with mind control abilities the Tree of Life form's lack of offensive abilities is an asset. A mind controlled tree of life druid is no threat to anyone in the party; however the Tree of Life may heal the mind controller.
 
   
 
Melee attacks in Tree of Life form use weapon damage and speed with a weapon skill of level*5. Melee attacks will not raise weapon skill while in Tree of Life.
