Shaman totems need a fix

Remove aggro from shaman totems or give shamans totem recall.

It’s absolutely ridiculous that the only way to move totems is to replace them and waste mana.

It’s not only annoying for the shaman but for the entire group when their totems chain pull mobs and wipe everyone.

But so, so amusing for the rest of us.

Carry on, Blizz.

Exactly.

Totemic Call was a TBC ability.
HC is in the same time period of the game as Classic Era so that ability is not and should not be available.

I have a bit of relevant experience as a shaman player. Gotta get smart about totem placement/management. It comes with experience. Best of luck to all new shaman. You picked a really fun class.

edit: I guess they fixed the macro from 2019 so it doesn’t work anymore

Group with better shamans :man_shrugging:.

Yeah it’s unfortunate that the gap between Pal and Shaman in Hardcore is even bigger than it is in Era.

Pal is simply an S tier class for HC specifically. It was already amazing for Era, but the survivability and escapes it has for HC is nearly god mode. Divine shield + swiftness potion. And oh, BoP + swiftness potion for a party member. Easy escape.

Shaman on the other hand, is even worse for HC than it was on Era, for numerous reasons.

Totems are a powerful tool best used by only the most elite shamans.

That is the beauty of classic, your spell may help you, but if you aren’t thinking ahead or keeping it in mind, it can also turn around and bite you.

Removing all that flavor for a spell that ‘recalls’ totems - greatly reducing the skill needed to best use these abilities is simply game ruining.

This is one of the many examples why versions after vanilla are just worse.

They should just make pally blessings auras like in alpha.

You want 30% less threat get close to the pally and hope he doesnt’ die.
