is wood elves Zoats is good at normal difficulty

[Nyoblackbriar]

as someone who never play wood elves before i see zoats are great in paper mostly because they can heal themself

They're fine. Not the best unit in the roster, but they're not bad. But like most monstrous infantry you need to combine it with a meat shield like eternal guard or something. Otherwise they're squishy.

Zoats are fine. They work well as damage-dealers for armies which run a lot of monsters or Tree Kin, since the heal/flesh to stone can help out other friendlies as well (and gets good value on things with high health pools and physical resistance). They're a lot like dragon ogres, with many of the same strengths and weaknesses.

I wouldn't run them just for the healing, especially since Lore of Life is the best option for Wood Elf casters, but I do run them in some of my endgame stacks.

Consider them a support tool and a beat-stick for dealing with large targets. You really shouldnt bring more than 1 for this purpose.

As large targets go, they are fairly durable, especially if fighting in forests(which is a rare bonus).

[Shellbie]

They are essential in any wood elf army.

I'm a little late to this conversation but Zoats seem almost invincible when I fight them with most factions I play? They're tanky to the point each Zoat unit can take on 2x Sacred Kroxigor and shrug off Bastilladon and Stegadon. Meteor strike seems to barely annoy them.

In a fight against Sisters of Twilight where she played 5 x Treeman, 8 x Zoat, 2 x Dryads, I generally have to outnumber her with 2 armies. Killing the Sisters of Twilight was Easy with a normal Lord (non-LL) but the army itself is TANKY and continues to fight even after she dies early on.
