Spirit gem Briar patch makes zero sense for a plant druid

Good day,

Just a minor complaint....as a plant druid, I have zero ambition to transform into any of the 3 beasts. With that being said, its obvious "briar patch" is supposed to meet with the plant aesthetic, but it does not make any sense. It forces you to do physical ATTACK dmg to get stacks....but plants are physical SPELL.....so in order to get a cool spirit gem for plants we are FORCED to go into a bear or wolf to get these stacks...why not make it gather stacks by physical spells (like plants) and release on a different physical spell...like thrashing vines gathers stacks then use entangle to release the patch....I dont know...but that sounds better than being forced to do something I have no desire to do....

It probably because of the way the spell work, it also scale with thorn making it kind of a thorn build spirit\plant spell.

But yeah, because it auto use a full chargeup of the spell on spell cast when ready, they make you play druid as a hybride (Attack\caster)

Kinda like how volcano (Spell) work with Slam and wyvern magma roll attack.

If you dont like it and want to focus exclusivly on casting plant again and again. There a nod that make plant\storm 50% stronger and cheaper but reduce their duration to 1\4 (75% less)
Or you can go with the bow plant build + druid plant to get ever more plant..
Not sure how well that would work out but there probably something behind but again that would be... both spell and attack.
