Yeah I don’t know what his problem was… if I remember right he gets enhanced totems too… so it would have been a good idea for him to drop his, rather than my Poe Man’s totems… because I was trying to help the melee out…

1+1=3…

57+2=60

Honestly.. it really feels like I have skipped some levels…

I tend to drop totems everywhere.. Mana is such a non-issue between mana totem and water shield.. and it just means I can keep on pulling.. and try and create the long odds.

Also that way, I know the totems are off cooldown if I need to quickly drop them again.

I was reading yesterday that BigBearButt has been caught out with the toolbars as well…

I guess there had to be some price to pay for getting the dual spec before 80…

The strength totem alone give me around 200-300 AP increase (while my total AP is around 1500)
And, Windfury totem for 5% attack speed.

Even for his own sake, he should dropping some totem.
A mana spring totem will provide more mana than the cast cost (Solely on himself, not counting other mana user), if he stand beside it more than 10 seconds….

I don’t see any justify reason not to use it….
okay, other than stupidity.

Okay, to complete your sentence
A Shaman without Totems is as stupid a=
-s a Hunter without a pet,
A tank (except DK) without a shield,
A melee mage/priest/warlock

U don’t know if he was even using his totem calls, as I never saw 4 totems.

The thing that annoyed me was the lack of group buff understanding. It may still have been bad efficiency for him, but X 5 worthwhile.

I never saw lightning shield… If I remember right that’s an awesome mana free dps

OK looks like I just have to be careful with my toolbars

I love dps when I’m resto and heals when I’m Ele ;-)

Had to upgrade Bartender for totem bars, but sounds like it’s a Blizz problem

57+2=60
;-)

Gratz!

in party I always drop my totems, it’s sort of yanno a core mechanic of the class. If the nub shaman didn’t want an extra 16-20% attack speed, 154 ap and 62 sp which he can generously share with the others… well then he’s truly a nub.

waste of mana indeed, I guess this is a shaman without shamanistic rage or improved stormstrike? Other core enhancement talents.

eh whatever, I just hope I don’t see this idiot in one of my parties.

the bars not updating is a dual spec thing, just check every time you go back to a trainer and see that they’re updated manually if you have to.

Bad shaman is bad.
