I was in hellfire and was fear locked twice with a tremor totem down, never once broke it… So much fun
- Tremor proc I believe can be resisted.
- Possibly out of range for tremor.
- Possibly got refeared right after the tremor global tick meaning you had to wait the next tick time, at which point you probably got feared out of range of tremor.
Tremor is not too reliable, but it tries its best

I mean, I literally ran in circles around the totem. It never broke. I went back after ressing and found a lower level lock. Same exact thing. He never recast fear. He sat an pumped shadow bolts into to me.
The fear break takes several seconds to re-pulse. 3-5 IIRC.

yeah I know… it pulses more often than every 30 seconds so it is not breaking fear for the full duration. it is not working
Well the first problem is that you’re level 33 in a level 58 zone and the second problem is you’re trying to use an ability your class doesn’t have.

Pre-tremoring a fear is basically useless

Do you use Totem Status mod to track its ticks?
cause you can post tremor a fear when you are feared?

I’m not trolling but I think you have to be /pvp or not all party members can benefit from your buffs. Next time ask your shaman party member to be /pvp
This really does explain the situation perfectly.
If I had a nickel for every time my tremor totem broke a fear for me I would not be rich but would certainly have a lot of nickels! My tremor totem is bae. Never have any issues personally with it.

No it works. Can’t say why it wasn’t able to help you but the totem its self works as well as it has been.
Works fine for me as of yesterday in both BGs and dungeons.
I think the above poster talking about pvp flags is likely hitting the nail on the head if you’re on a PvE server.
Tremor also only removes Fear effects, so a Horror effect like deathcoil or psychic horror from those nether rays in UB/SP will not be removed.
You cant tremor post-fear till Cata
Till then, enjoy sitting full fears while the warlock walks over and stabs it
Was confused, did not realize the shaman was a party member of yours. The pulse time is instant upon putting it down, so it’s probably a flagging issue
Most common issue is running out of range of it between procs.
This is easier to do when it’s the fear that increases run speed for the duration.

That was just an assumption made by others. It was my totem. The first time I put it down before I attacked and was flagged. The second time I was already flagged. The lock, both times deathcoiled into a fear. They did not kill the totem. The fear ran while the dots killed me just before the fear duration was up. Never broke me out of it. Works in instances fine(bg’s/dungeons)…
As I said, I literally ran around my own totem in circles. I was resto subspec so well within 30 yards.
You could have been out of range? Also you gotta wait for the totem to tick.
my god, the reading comprehension on these forums is abysmal…
