Hey im new to shaman but i remember back in the day shamans usedto cast like 4 totems all at the same time… was the skill or macro or something removed now?
yeah but blizzard pretty much neutered totems. they are extremely situational now.
It was removed at the start of mop.
The necessity for it was removed. At the time we had that ability, totems were mostly static buffs. +10% Strength, +10% Armor, etc., that we were meant to have 100% uptime on.
That design went away in Mists of Pandaria, and totems moved into a full on utility role where they became situational utility spells with cooldowns. As such, dropping multiple totems on one key would be actually detrimental, because we’d be burning spells we had no reason to use at the moment, leaving them on cooldown when we did want them.

The flow of the game just doesn’t allow for static ground buffs. You even hear healers complain about healing rain and other spells that have to be constantly moved.
Even the latest version of quad totems (totem mastery) while refreshing as it was to have it back was a nuisance to maintain and eventually dropped all together.
