Lol, being more creative?

What is he? He is a ma 2 st 6 player that takes root.
He's playing a fling team?
What do yo uwant to do: Kill, Block, Kill more, hope the fling he trows lands on his feet.
He has no movement for being a good blitzer.
Every skill you pick that needs him to move, is non synergetic with the fact that he takes root.

If your oppent (specially at your TV, has a lot of guard, you don't even get 3d blocks annymore for a safe block. And you really want to block, cause he needs to kill... It's kill or be killed with flings. Make sure your treeman kills a lot. (without going down, don't suggest piling on / jump up here)

Just take block, and be happy you have treeman with block.
On your next double, go "dodge" OR "Jump Up" depending on what you like most.

I tried Jump up on my treeman... it just makes sure he stands up better... believe me, you don't even want to stand up with your treeman... you just want him to be on his feet, all the time. If he needs to play catch up, you ussually loose the drive.

You push players against him... so they need to roll to get away.. it's a tactic. You don't want anny blitzer to do 2d against you , and you can choose the pow or block/pow... you don't want that at all!

Just make sure he doesn't need to stands up, and that if you hit someone, you don't need to push them away, choose "block pow" and if they have block, no harm is done.

You wanna be all special, no problem... just don't think it will be as effective as "block" in this case. Cause treemen just aint that versatile.

Except that fling trees are not loners anti.

Really, like explained by kwek trees on flings teams need to kill. And what is the skill that makes them kill more? PO. But to have it on your tree you need jump up.
Hence, jump up. Kill. moar. stuff.

Who will ever put his cage within 3 squares of a treeman? Break Tackle does not seem that useful? Jump up and PO should be awesome, lying on the ground also protects you from claw.

kwek i did read your entire post, but we come to different conclusions. I think po does more damage than block, you think the other way around.

Also, ju means you don't need to worry as much for those -2d blocks taking the tree down, because he will be standing the next turn.
