http://www.blogcdn.com/www.wowinsider.com/media/2009/01/totemies.jpgAll apologies for yesterday being, well, totemless. Personal and family obligations and a lack of warning simply swamped me, and as a result Totem Talk is on Friday and Care and Feeding will be Saturday this week only.
Before we get to brass tacks, as it were, I should point out that it was announced that shamans are getting a talent respec for free in 3.0.8 (http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/patchnotes/test-realm-patchnotes.html), most likely due to the changes we discussed last week.
Yesterday (http://www.wowinsider.com/2009/01/15/gc-seeks-feedback-on-totems-warlock-spells/), we covered this very interesting forum thread (http://forums.worldofwarcraft.com/thread.html?topicId=14318777314&sid=1) which basically asks the shaman community to discuss totems in the most open-ended way I've ever seen a blue solicit feedback. Asking people to just discuss any aspect of totems they don't like, or how they would change totems if it was up to them? I can't remember ever seeing this level of feedback asked for from the community.
Now, since I'm a sheep, I figured I'd follow along with this general tendency. I mean, we've discussed totems here before, (http://www.wowinsider.com/2007/09/20/totem-talk-where-do-they-get-those-wonderful-totems/) especially (http://www.wowinsider.com/2007/11/29/totem-talk-sentry-totem/)the greatest totem (http://www.wowinsider.com/2007/11/29/totem-talk-sentry-totem/) of all time. But rather than merely talk about what we don't like or would change about totems (we'll do that too, of course) I figured we could also cover what's good about totems, especially in these days of raid wide buffs that don't stack (http://www.wowinsider.com/2008/08/29/raid-buffs-overhauled-for-3-0-2/).Continue reading Totem Talk: The Future of Totems?
