Druid tree form question

[JennaHusky12]

So. I've seen in Onyxia currently that the tree form is used. Does that change with Wrath, when glyphs are added, or is tree form still like some permanent feature on the skill tree? I ask cause, I would be ok healing as Druid, if I didn't have to be in tree form or something. If not, I'll just stick to being a feral cat with my druids. I'm just wondering cause, it would give me a reason to paly Tauren druid because I never cared for their bear or cat forms, but if I could just be a big ol' Tauren healing, I can do that

tree form is permanent from skill tree , you just put a point in the "Tree of life" from talents tree and you get it (of course it cost mana and it remain until you leave that form)

[JennaHusky12]

well, is it something required, or can i skip it?

You can skip it but you will lose 6% bonus healing. Others in your party or raid won't be happy about it.

mmm.... i guess i won't be doing a tauren druid then... going without tree form was the only thing that would've had me making one for the horde side. my night elf druid is just gonna stay cat form then as well.

If what you don't like is the way the tree of life looks like, there sure are client modifications that allow you not to see it when you use it.

what do you mean?

Why don't you want to use the Tree of Life ability? Is it because you don't like what the tree looks like? If that is the case, there probably exist client patches that you can apply so you don't have to look at it.

I don't like the tree form. And I would like to do a tauren druid healer, for the whole visuals thing and with the transmog system, but I obviously would get no benefit from the transmog system in this version if I can't see the character. I already know I have to deal with bear and cat forms not showing, but I would love to do a tauren healer, cause i had a tauren druid in retail and i enjoyed how she looked without tree form obstructing the visuals.
