How much hp does grounding totem have? Does it have hp or is it just infinite health until 3 sec?
Should die with most globals
So it’s not intended for it to fully eat ultimate penitence? Is it a bug that it’s absorbing 800k damage over 5 sec? The meter I’m looking at from a round (it does this every time it’s dropped) it took all 24 hits of ultimate penitence for 812k damage.
You need to target it to kill, it can’t be killed while absorbing (otherwise it would be useless).

Oh, so shaman gets a 30 sec cd that can retroactively counter a 4 min cd. Seems like its just oversight in the mechanics.
I believe it has 5hp. To kill it you target it and smack it. It doesnt work like esrthern wall totem where damaging effects absorbed by the totem can kill it.
It’s 24 sec I think for ground, yeah not need to kill it insta or find a window when it’s on cd/cc the sham etc…
If they’re holding grounding just for ultimate penitence then it seems like a good trade for you. Imagine getting every mind games schism combo off Scott free assuming you juke shear.
If they’re not and they’re using grounding otherwise, just make sure to use it when grounding isn’t up or you’ve sniped it already.
Yeah aoe cloak of shadows sucks from shaman but like, it’s not impossible to play around.

I don’t think this is a useful way to look at it. The shaman could also just heal back that damage. Riptide is a shorter cd than grounding. I think hst is as well?

Kill the totem with 5 hp. Download Mes WA package like every other player and have it ping 500 alerts to you so you never miss it.
Skill issue.

Ik you’re doing a meme but bigdebuffs is a really good way to see grounding totems without relying on a 2010 montage parody weakaura pack

Just looking at it kills it.
If you’re reading this, kill shaman totems! No one ever does this.

it’s tricky if you directly attack it any spell will destroy it I guess but if it’s just redirecting spells and not getting directly attacked it can take all your burst for 5-6 hours appox
If you misplay yes.
Not at all. It’s very easy for you to not send a full ult pen into grounding but if you’re just random sending it like you probably are then you’re going to get punished for it by getting it all grounded.
send it defensively so they ground air
nerf grounding totem! revert it back only eating 1-2 spells
but yeah you can just kill it

That or just make it last as long as priest fade- 1s.
You do realize that ult pen targets random targets right and you have no control over what it’s targeting? What I’m saying is it’ll do a mil damage to random targets but grounding totem eats all of it because the spell won’t target it.
Neither of these do 1 million healing in 5 sec.
That’s the problem they can drop it while you are channeling and you can’t do anything while it just eats all the damage/healing it’s literally countering a 4 min cd re-actively with a 24 sec cd that shamans can use twice if they want with totemic recall have 2 of. (started playing this class to get a feel for it) If you guys never played disc into this try it. It’s broken and feels unfairly balanced and a unique counter.
You weren’t listening. They put the grounding down after you start ult pen and it absorbs all of it.
Is it really random?
I would have sworn that it prioritizes my current target. Otherwise, I’ve been getting really lucky that it sends all the bolts into my nearly dead teammate. I’ve even swapped my current target mid-channel to heal the other teammate.
