Was just wondering if Farseer is that far behind?
It’s not that bad, it’s just more geared for single target. It’s nice to drop a totem and have fairly strong healing rains constantly healing along with some strong interactions with surging totem like chain heal spreading a stronger earthliving HoT. A juiced up healing rain that’s instant cast and lasts 24 seconds is just nice in terms of quality of life. Healing stream totems shooting out a chain heal that rebounds off of other totems is nice too.
Long story short, Totemic is just tailor made for larger group healing.
Makes me sad was hoping there would be people playing both in the raids but they kinda blew it with Farseer which sucks sad to say.
Totemic is fun and I find the aoe heals alot better, healing stream does alot of healing

totemic just has better aoe healing. Farseer is beter 3 target cleave healing, over 4-5 targets totemic is going to do better.
Yeah I just wish it was decent in raid 
Just casting healing rain all the time would be enough to get me to swap to Totemic regardless of the hps.

Totemic definitely has a lot going for it. Not having to cast healing rain is a major QoL improvement. It’s super easy to pilot as well - you mostly just drop the totems and they cast the chain heals for you. It’s really just tailor made for raiding. Farseer has the edge in mana efficiency, but that can be addressed with careful play.
my take on farseer is that: more casts → more undulation → more ancestors → more healing
also, riptide → wave → wave also seems to be the bread and butter of this spec, that means more hots ticking (especially when talented into every 4th riptide duplicating, pwave etc)
that said, it seems to favor a haste heavy stat priority to get more casts rolling, which we’re just too early in an expac for. imo farseer will see more action later on as secondaries ramp up in %
just my take 
I find Farseer so much more powerful in M+, while I use Totemic in Raid. However, Totemic has mana issues, so I might try to theorycraft a farseer. But man, the 3+ million healing surges in Farseer just hitttt.
Personally I feel farseer is way smoother in dungeon runs, where rain isn’t as useful.
Still the annoyance of full casting healing rain is enough to make me run totemic in keys sometimes
Totemic is just better, especially after 4pc where your mana is bit better.
But if healing rain were just instant cast already, i’d bet you see more people at least try Farseer. Two second cast for a spell that doesn’t do much on cast, and only lasts 10 seconds, it is extremely annoying, especially for farseer who wants to spam cast surge/wave a lot for more ancestors.
circling back now that i got 4pc: the set is peeeerfect for farseer’s bread and butter. highly recommend trying after getting 4pc to see how it feels (faster healing waves are :chefskiss:)
