that’s due to user error in UI setup.
Idk why you’re acting like good shamans get their grounding totem killed instantly. Terrible shamans that don’t have totemic projection bound get it domed instantly, because they put it mid map and stand on it / use it before any actual threat is there.
If that shoe fits, wear it.

Get what you give, if the shoe fits wear it mr 5k games played

Guess this team of tournament players are all awful since they fell for the old grounding totem → immediately move it trick

out of all the cherry picked clips you chose the one where the shaman dies 5 seconds after clip ends…
Crashing out over grounding, that’s wild.
I would be fine with either (a) 1s duration & all spells, or (b) 3s duration & 1 spell.
Bring back skill expression and punishable misplays, please.
I mean if you want grounding nerfed like that, Enh shamans need survivability buffs. Put Burrow and Stormweaver in the class tree (Burrow in place of Stone bulwark then make Stone Bulwark baseline, Stormweaver in place of NS for Enh only) and add a couple new honor talents after that.
Enh is already one of the squishier melee and Shaman in general is the only class in the game that has their strongest defensive talent (Burrow) in their honor talents rather than class tree or baseline, heavily limiting their choices. Its like putting Ice block, turtle or divine shield in honor talents its unreal. AG getting removed heavily hurts Ele/Enh survivability as well, Ele received some PvP compensation in the form of Storm Conduit, Enh has received nothing despite being squishier than Ele already. I mean Enh should be getting at least Stormweaver in the class tree regardless, losing AG without compensation while already being one of the squishiest melee is so crazy.
Slightly annoying when people ask for nerfs to something without thinking of how that would effect the spec(s), what compensation they would need, etc. I get having your damage grounded is upsetting, but it is one of the most important things shamans have for survivability Also comparing reflect to grounding makes no sense, make Reflect purgeable similar to how grounding is killable if you want to compare them.
Edit 1/2: Oh also if we’re going to nerf knocks, then lets give shamans some real instant CC. I assume this is related to unleash shield+thunderstorm or something, but thats sacrificing an honor talent which is losing survivability or damage to take unleash shield. Knocks barely do anything to melee anyway, they all have a way to instantly get back to the target, but if you want that also nerfed then sure, lets make Cap totem last 4 seconds (6 with double cap) and have it be a 45 second cd.

he’s mad because poly has a 25 second CD and grounding is 24 seconds I guess
then i guess we should start crying about disarm being a 45s cd lining up with every actual cd enhancement shaman has. Sounds like that needs a nerf as well
Ele isn’t even op due to grounding either it just slams damage all the time and can survive. Anything that can live and do really good damage will probably be meta at this point, utility seems tertiary.
Anyway time to blog. Buff enh survivability in 11.1 its terrible without AG, enh shamans are going ele because the ranged spec is tankier than the melee spec on live, gets even worse in 11.1. Give enh Stormweaver in the class tree replacing NS because NS is entirely useless for enh crazy that a capstone is just straight unusable/does nothing for 1/3 specs. blog over

good 
LOL
54,340 games for what
agree - grounding (like all totems) should be used with intention
you’re using it to stop a specific sheep ; a follow up chaos bolt whatever
right now you can just 6 second aoe cloak of shadows ulti penance or an ele shamans entire damage window for no reason
genuinely good change
