Grounding Totem

question, do shamans have any defense against sheep/run away from mages? It seems like grounding totem does not soak up a sheep and tremor doesn’t break it. I assume polymorph is not a charm but Is it really not a harmful spell ?

You were simply out of totem range because grounding does prevent sheep.

Try putting 11 points into resto to increases range to 30 yards.
it helps big time with mages kiting you outside of your totem range.

Also you can always use earthshock to interrupt sheep.

If you’re wondering what to do vs a mage as a shaman I highly recommend you watch Cdew vs Venruki duels on YouTube. It will show you how much of an edge we have over the mages.

oh then it is bugged, totem was dropped right by me as I was walking towards mage before cast got off

You gotta be good about the timing too, or the mage can use something else to get rid of it
