good point… having your enemy be your mana battery would make it worthwhile holding off on the totem.

I would like to make some DK’s cry… I am going to keep this in mind…

I had noticed less success now that I am bottom of the bracket level wise… must level more

I use the Stoneclaw Totem glyph as well, and it’s very important to use it at the proper time, rather than just throw it out every time the cooldown is up. Usually if a pet’s on me and nothing else I just treat it as an extra proc for my water shield; nothing pisses disc priests and trees like you outlasting their mana because one of their teammates left Fluffy on you like a mini-innervate.

My favorite thing by far, however, is seeing a DK pop his Army. Popping Earth Elemental in response can keep them all rounded up and off of me, even 1vs1.

For an added boost, you can grab up Glyph of Stoneclaw Totem. It gives you a bubble when you drop it, which gives some extra buffer room to heal others and not waste time healing yourself.

It works really well against totem killing rogues, though, especially if you drop Earthbind once or twice first so they just attack without paying attention.

Alas, this does not seem to work well at level 80. Especially against DK ghouls. Either that or someone broke mine. About half the time or maybe a little more, they just resist and keep attacking me (as opposed to being redirected back on me by their owners, which, let’s face it, happens maybe once every 30 or so times).
