Q u o t e:
You can have 4 totems out sir.

1 of each element.

You tried to use 2 air totems :P


You are drawing on the power of the elements and as such, it takes great effort so, can only have one of each totem type out at a time.

From there, what you choose depends on what you feel you need most for any given encounter. Totems that have AoE effects aren't going to be your top choice when you are in the middle of a lot of mobs.

I'm sure you can learn a lot from people on this forum that can tell you which totems work best in any given situation and what combinations are the most effective as well.

Still, their reasoning is cool to read... sometimes, anyway. I agree with him on the concept on how totems work - lore-wise.


Apparently, people feel the need to express their discontent over a response in this forum. They should use wowcmfeedback@blizzard.com rather than derailing this thread. I'll give short suspensions for those that continue to derail and troll. Please don't go that way.

I think it's an interesting conversation to have for those that are learning how totems work and it's a learning experience for them.

Q u o t e:

if you ever decide to make a shaman, make it enhancemente for leveling, really neat. The look of the totems in Tauren starting area is cool, but the "shamanistic quests" that Draenei have are awesome, actually. that when you run in "wolf eyes", swim fast like a fish and breath underwater, etc.

PS: While you are here, can you please stich murderbot's (how to heal) and skyhoof (elemental and healing gear) posts? they are awesome and as constructive as it can get.


I have a Shaman I'm leveling that is Enhance at current.

As for the sticky request, I don't make those determinations, but we are currently going through the requests for stickies and evaluating them as additions to each forum. We try to be careful about what we sticky though so that we don't overload the forums with stickies that no one will read.

So much effort that we forgot to use a decent wood, and got stuck with balsa, thus the totems only have 5hp.

WTB truck full of oak totems.


I think balsa actually grows quickly or some such. It may be an environmental thing you know. ;) Perhaps bamboo would be better. It can be quite strong.
