You're welcome to get that high a wisdom as a woodsman too.
It probably would be pretty effective
I'm kinda amazed no one has ever tried it.

Someone has, and has found that it's not possible. Even as a level
~175 Elf Woodsman/Abjurer/bard with wis stat training and a great
wis set, I was unable to break 700 wisdom. And that particular
setup, while effective on some level, is far from the intended
design of the guild. I carry around half a wisdom set just to add a
little oomph to my potions, among other prots. But even wearing
that, my unprotted wisdom is still under 420; And that's at level
168 - far above the end of the tree's Omicron guild.

I'm not arguing that a Woodsman's potions would not be as powerful
as a Druids if the Woodsman had the same amount of wisdom. I'm
arguing that a Woodsman simply cannot achieve a high enough wisdom
for that statement to matter.

I always felt that the way Find herbs favoured Woodsman, was the
balancing factor to the way that the guild spells favour Druid.
Whichever guild you played, it worked out even. Now it does not, and
since the Herbalist guild is a required part of the Woodsman guild
tree, and has no other theme-related links to the tree itself, it
seems strange that Woodsman should be penalised in this way.

Maybe shapeshfiters should get access to herbalist tree as well.

Just only access those powers while unshifted.

um....

You guys do know that 500 is the theoretical limit of these stats, any increase beyond which the mud isn't really designed to handle in general? Not to say it doesn't handle it, but it's way out of spec.

See previous comment.

Sure, as soon as they get a Marigold form.



Why would this make sense?

know how shape nature by shifting, why not the ways of shifting herbs into
potions and others,,

On this note, ive seen dragons in actions, and in arena, etc, as all
kinds of classes. With the amount of passive stuns shifter get, i
think you'd be dreaming to get herbalist.
