Fiery Plate/Storm Gauntlets/Blazefury Medallion and most likely Fiery Retributer (come ZG) proc do not kill Grounding Totem

Fiery/Lifestealing enchant should likewise kill Grounding Totem as well when either of them proc

Your proc didn’t do enough damage. Target the totem next time.

watch the video friend


dmg amount doesn’t matter

Then it should only work on spell casts.Your gimmick build doesn’t include any actual hard casts spells aside from HoJ which im guessing you were trying avoid getting eaten.

watch

the

video

ok so an old video shows welfare totem stomping. It looks like they’ve added 99 health to a grounding totem, will probably go into the “not a bug folder” and force the alliance to actually expend a minor amount of effort to get rid of them.

grounding totem eats any spell that is directed at the shaman - whether hard cast or not - which then causes the grounding totem to disappear

regardless of the dmg amount coming through - it eats non damaging spells too like hammer of justice or repentance

period

It will onyl eat a single spell regardless of whether or not the totem lives (outside of funky spell batching) so whether it stays up or not is pretty irrelevant.

yes and storm/fiery plate gauntlets, blazefury medallion and fiery retributed’s procs are all considered…

wait for it…

wait for it…

wait for it…

single spell mechanics the way they are coded…

as

is

shown

in

the

video…

storm gauntlets proc hit the shaman for 3 nature dmg

and nuked the grounding totem into OBLIVION

PS Fiery/Lifestealing enchant are also considered the same as single spell mechanics

and you’re ignoring the fact that it only soaks 1 spell. If for some reason it doesn’t die it DOESN’T matter as it won’t be soaking another.

You’re making more of a problem than actually exists.

so how can a spell that does only 3 damage take out a grounding totem?

Read the tooltip on grounding totem.
It eats a SINGLE spell. Totem health is irrelevant. Whether it has 1 hp or 1 million it’s still going to eat a single spell. uno,ichi,tahi.

It’s a coding error sure, but who cares if it does it’s job and eats a single spell.

yes hence the bug report - look at my screen shot in my first post

it stayed up for fiery ENCHANT proc and fiery plate gauntlet proc

Just to make my point clear. IT DOESN’T MATTER.

it ate MULTIPLE spells but didn’t die

it took the dmg VALUE from each spell and subtracted from the totem’s health

rather than cause the totem to die from the first spell proc

It does the same to EM Cl +ES. It will eat everything in a spell batch window.Your bug report doesn’t show a copy of the combat log so it could have been 1 hit for all we know.

Thank the no changes crowd for the hilarity of spell batching.

it should DIE regardless of how many spells go off in the batch window

one spell or ten

why are you fixated on it dying? it wouldnt have soaked another spell regardless.

yes it would have as it clearly was still up - hence MY BUG REPORT

it should have disappeared completely from he very first spell proc that went off

pretty sure you have me confused for someone else and also pretty sure you were watching a different video
