Really does not sound like that bad of an idea.

very good idea. especially if you consider having other dgs similar combinations in one skill-line.

Wait when did everyone suddenly decide QoT needs a buff? My friend is awesome with her. You just follow him around untill he ground spikes someone then you beat the poor person who lost all the armor to death in seconds. When they try to run, he slows them with that other ground spike skill. He also finds time to throw some shields on you while you're at it.

I'm that friend of drug's that plays QoT. Her attack skills are plenty strong, but her support/general role isn't as great. To become a good general it takes 16 skill points which is 5 more than any other DG and 7 more on avg.

If these 2 trees were combined it would allow her to better fill a support build or a spread out build which is what she just screams with so many synergies. You could then easily get a few levels in entourage/compost, ground spikes, mulch, shamblers, and uproot and the build would actually work as it sounds it should. You'd be moderately strong at doing just about everything but not overly strong in any 1 area.

She has that built into closed with 50% bonus to mana regen..

Queen can be played one of two ways:

Like your buddy and I like to do.  Put points only into her three good skills (shield, ground, and wave) and be an above average early game demi, great mid-game support demi, and very sub-par late game demi.

Or you can go any other route and deservedly earn the hatred of your teamates.

This suggestion wouldn't be a buff to the Queen the way your friend and mine play her, it would simply give people a different way to play her by combining to worthless skills into a decent one.

Everyones got their own perspective on balance but I'll tell you one thing, I don't remember a game I've lost where the opposing queen started popping out shamblers.

At first I liked shamblers due to their ranged AoE attacks. But they are slow and have to stop to attack which makes them horrible DG attackers. They are a bit on the mana intensive side as well. I wouldn't mind them not being able to run and attack if the had more HP and dealt like 50% more dmg.
