In WOTLK/TBC, the Totems on my 76th Level Shaman have been disabled. They were fine last night and have been for many months.
It may be related to the “original” totem that you get, which were in the bank, and have not had to be in your bags for some time.
All of these are no longer in the bank, and I do not know if I deleted them at one time as they were not needed anymore.
In checking the original quest giver (Fire Totem/Dreanei) when he sends you to the mob, it says that your time here is finished.
There is no information anywhere as to how I can get these totems back functioning. I have not had any success with SUPPORT either since Microsoft/Blizzard are not well known for helping the players get things resolved.
Please advise … that 76th level Shaman has been my main character for some time!
Thx

Assuming this is a classic question, but the totems you received in quests were removed around the same time reagents for spells got removed. I believe this was during WotLK at some point.
So the original Earth Totem, Fire totem, Water Totem, Air Totem in your bags would have been automatically deleted, thus opening up 4 bag slots for you.
This was an intended change by Blizzard, in an effort to streamline parts of the game.
The 4 totems were removed in wotlk prepatch but you should have done a quest at 70 for a Totem of the Earthen ring which replaces the 4 totems you keep in your bags with just 1 totem you keep in your bags. Quest giver is in Ironforge on alliance and i think thunder bluff for horde.
I dont know why that would only matter now if youve been levelling for days just fine but just wanted to put it out there.
My best guess would be youve got some addon thats messing with it. It could be as simple as bartender and you misclicked on the totem bar and hid it or it could be some other UI addon issue.
Maybe you put the Totem of the Earthen Ring in your bank? Or sold it accidentally? I wpuld check that too.
The same thing happened on my shaman. I had all 4 totems then did the quest and got the single totem but still had all 4 totems. Stuck them in the bank.
Logged in randomly one day and couldnt drop totems. Had to go to bank and get my 4. I was also in the process of leveling another shaman that had just done the same quest. I thought it was weird all 4 totems were in the bank. I thought i was getting my shaman confused.
Went to upgrade my spells and saw a quest giver in Org for the Totem quest.
This time i lost all 4 a d got the single totem. All I can say is that it was probably a bug. Then again shaman was buggy when WotLK dropped.
My totem bar would not be present when I logged in and on random loading screens.
yeah that happened to me for a bit. i think just relogging a few times eventually fixed it
Makes no sense … it was working just fine last night and has been great for some time. No issues with any totems until this morning when everything was gone.
Sulaa, the shaman trainer, apparently had the original quest, however, she has nothing to offer other than the quests for level 77 (my next level assuming I get the totems working just fine). I would have naturally done that quest or the stuff would not have been working correctly as it was until last night.
Inclined to believe this is an issue with Blizzard since this is on my account and happening on 2 different computers one of which had not updated in 30 days or so.
I can’t help thinking this is a malicious something or other by Blizzard.
Happened to a friend of mine too. And OP is right about CS blowing it off. You sometimes get a good GM who really cares, you sometimes get someone who acts like they wish they didnt sign up for having the job to answer tickets.
Either way best solution I found is to never even touch your totems in your bags. Have them in one spot and keep them there forever and do not move them for anything.
And if they stat glitching still. just type /reload and it will auto fix your totem bars. I played my old original shammy EU lots in arenas and in BG PvP back in TBC but hardly ever touched it in Wrath or much after. So I dont know if this was as bad a problem last Wrath.
Not sure about the GM thing, but most of them are simply doing the zog zog thing in my book. But situations like this, you are dealing with the quality of the game, and you would not want your product to show defects … even though I’m convinced that Blizzard will say it was something in my video card that screwed up (Radeon RX 580) and caused an issue, but I doubt that the VC would cause the totems to be disabled.
I ran the scan and repair … and it made no difference, which pretty much suggests that there is an intentional something on the server side.
