Windfury Totem and Totem Mastery

Classes Shaman
1

This is from an Enhancement point of view.

I really enjoy the changes to Enhance by going back to the older play style of MSW stack and using LB and CL again. However, dropping the Windfury totem feels off to me. I think the visual of dropping one totem every 2 minutes and not four is what feels weird. Looking at the character creation screen and when you select a shaman it drops four totems, not one.

I think it would be nice if Windfury got merged into Totem Mastery where it is still a one button click that drops four totems. Looking at the BFA version of totem mastery it buffed Lava lash damage, Stormstrike damage, Winfury procs rate, and increased haste.

I would prefer if our party/raid windfury buff was just tacked onto the storm totem or even replaced the old version. This is just a change I would like to see since we are already using a global to drop one totem why not go full shaman and drop four again with Totem Mastery.

Side note- I wouldn’t mind seeing Totem Mastery come back with all new totems and this is just me having fun in my head with it.

Earth-Damage reduction (stone bulwark totem?)

The oldest playstyle is dropping one totem at a time. I did like the totem bar thing, and you could drop 4 at once. Indid not likenthe old totem twisting and am fairly happy with out things are. I like how totems are mostly situational and are justbdropped as needed.

I agree that I like totems as situational, however, that is not the case on live and shadowlands with us maintaining Windfury totem every 2min or when we need to drop it again when we move. Hence, I would rather have it merge into Totem Mastery and have a full set of totems that we drop to buff (enhance!) our characters.
