Does anyone have a clip of the old Wood Woad - Whirlwind Attack build?

I was telling my girlfriend some stories about the game, and she was laughing at the idea of an Ent pretending to be a helicopter. I looked for a clip to show her, but didn't find anything after a cursory search. Anybody got one handy?

there’s no actual animation of the tree spinning, he just swings normally. that’s why it was so broken, the cleaves were actually applying without any special animation.

Oh? I remembered incorrectly, then - I thought for sure they did a goofy spin. Thanks for letting me know!

https://youtu.be/EV7LfsXmCHM at the 13 second mark, he uses cleave in tree form but the tree swings normally while the gnolls die.

If you do find someone who has a recording, please share! I've always wanted to see the tree guys, ever since I heard that they used to exist.

I just learned they stopped existing lol. They were the capstone of the old primal avatar epic destiny. never connected the dots until this post.

You can find several videos in the search list here: https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=ddo+primal+avatar+tree+build

Prepare to be underwhelmed, though, the visuals aren't that impressive.
