Totemic Recall should reset Healing Tide cooldown if points are spent into Totemic Surge

It is ridiculous that Totemic Recall does not reset the cooldown of your Healing Tide Totem if you spent points in Totemic Surge to reduce its cooldown by 4 seconds. If you invest in Totemic Surge, your Healing Tide cooldown is 2.9 minutes. I do not care how razor-thin the margin is; my Healing Tide cooldown is below 3 minutes and should therefore benefit from Totemic Recall.

What’s more, most of us choose the PVP talent, Living Tide, which brings the cooldown to 1.5 minutes, and yet, the totem still does not benefit from the recall. Totally unfair and goes against the function of the capstone.

Pick a talent for -4 sec CD for all the totems xD

I agree with this. If there are modifiers that bring a totem under the 3 minute mark, then recall should reset that totem.

It wouldn’t be so bad if Healing Tide benefitted from Totemic Recall. Unless if you’re expecting sustained magic damage in a particular situation, then Totemic Surge can be a good choice if you want the second Healing Stream and Swirling Currents. You only got two options. The opportunity cost between Totemic Surge and Elemental Warding depends on the circumstances.

Honestly, that’s what I thought that talent was for. It was a sink to enable the Healing Tide. When I found out it wasn’t, I was sad.

If you pick healing stream totem, you can drop 4 of them. Just make sure not to click to fast. I think it’s a bug, but if you drop 2 then hit recall and try to drop 2 more it does one. I think it was because I was clicking fast. It shouldn’t be that way, but it seems to work if I wait a second before dropping recall.

Yea, I am disappointed it didn’t work on healing tide totem if you get it under 3 minutes. It does suck that it doesn’t work with that.

I believe you can take the talent that lets you recall the last 2 totems used to drop double stream, recall, double stream. I’m not sure how practical that is but kinda cool

I think the key term in the description is ‘base’ duration. Not effective duration. But I too think this is worthless.

while we’re at it, please take totemic recall off the GCD :pray:

Healing Tide Totem isnt even a strong cooldown. Letting it work on it would be fine.

Also, yes. Off the GCD.

Agreed! If it doesnt than it should say that somewhere

Also not break ghost wolf. It’s really annoying when u take the talent that lets u use totems in ghost wolf
