This is a stackable totem. 2,3,4,5 man pvp Shaman teams can stack these together as well as Caster DPS raid groups with more than one shaman in it.

You need the fire totem item in your inventory to use all fire totems.. i'll be posting this on all fire totem abilities.

Personally i'd rather spec 40/0/21 and grab NS over this talent. the totem is allmost useless in PvP, where you probably wont notice it that much, and it takes time to cast. In PvE you might get use for it if you're put in a caster group (25 man raids).

My advice would be to skip this talent and rather go for NS.

For PvE this totem really is not that bad. The extra crit% and hit% that it grants in invaluable for raid DPS. Bosses can resist a lot, and with Elemental Precision, Totem of Wrath, and Nature's Guidance that's an extra 9% chance to hit with spells. And all of the hit from your gear is going to max out your spell hit chance very quickly. No resists is more than excellent.

And must I mention spell crit? Shamans already have a ridiculously high spell crit chance if they're Elemental. You can gain 11% lightning spell crit from talents alone.

In my opinion, though, I really don't like it as the 41-point Elemental talent. It's just not fun or exciting... it's just another increase to numbers. Most other classes got something that changed their gameplay or enhanced it somehow... this enhances it, yeah, but doesn't make it any different or fun. We drop a totem. Woo freaking hoo.

I say go for it if you're going to raid or if you're just leveling up, but if you're going to PvP skip this totem and use nature's swiftness instead.

edit: spelling lol.

Through talents alone an Elemental Shaman can get 12% on spell hit. This means you would only need to make up the last 4% on gear/gems (50.4 Spell Hit Rating), which I believe is the highest of all the caster classes, to reach the hit cap

3/3 Elemental Precision (Elemental, 6%)
1/1 Totem of Wrath (Elemental, 3%)
3/3 Nature's Guidance (Resto, 3%)

And even 1% more in addition to spell hit if u're a draenei, or in group with a draenei spellcaster

Commento di 92752

heh, this is on my list of most unecessary spells in the entire game, considering its a totem, it takes 40 points in elemental spec, and its 3%, why not just put a couple points in resto and get tidal wrath (or w/e it is) and natures swiftness, you shamans really got ****ed over in my opinion, so many other classes got great spells, and shamans get an extra 3% crit and hit chance lol.

other spells on my list include, detect magic, aspect of the beast, eyes of the beast, and hellfire (maybe not so much hellfire)

The only major problem with this totem is the +spell hit on it, tbh it would have been better off adding more crit, or more dmg, spell haste, or maybe even a mana cost reduction on offensive spells for those within it's radius.

For obvious reasons the Shaman won't be lacking in hit, he's going to get some naturally that's unavoidable just as gear gets better in addition to the 9-10% just from talents/racial, just as hit becomes more and more prevalent on other casters gear the farther you progress. Sure you can keep two sets of gear on hand gemmed differently in case you do or don't have a shaman in your group tonight, but considering the competition for gear and the nature of dkp, one set will always be somewhat behind in damage output.

With spell hit being the first stat focused on by all mages and destro locks, I'm a little disappointed by Blizzard in putting spell hit on a totem, because as I said the deeper the gear goes, the less that totem means until many times it will just be 3% crit by itself.

Ive also played with the though of using item budget (and gem) for 0hit rating if u could be sure to have 4 ele shamans and a boomkin in same party, not only would it be a MASSIVE 17% extra crit to 5 chars, but also 12% hit and the rest of +hit needed should be avialible from talents...

Any actually tried this in a raid?
Would be some intresteing results... (proboly 1-4 dead shamans and a dead boomkin due to "lucky" crit Series...)

Commento di 166486

Yeah... but the point is they are also capable of fulfilling other roles; you sort of come across as a little condescending... I don't know if that's what you mean :\ ...

...their primal function is to boost the 'real dps casters' (destro locks and mages)...

What you're saying is only 'locks and mages can do DPS... and that hurts...

Commento di Allakhazam

Give us a half decent talent that does more added dps than one of our talented fire totems. Thx Blizz -.-
We deserve our scheduled review since we've essentially waited 2 years for it, but right when we're about to get assisted in some way, Blizzard announces that it is ceasing to perform character reviews.

@#%^ing fantastic.

ONLY 3%!
Come on blizzard!
at least give us a good level 40 talent.
Fire mages have dragonbreath and we have some piece of @$#% totem

Commento di Thottbot

It's like a portable moonkin. How 'bout that? Pretty low mana cost, and more importantly I'd say, we sham shams finally get a fire totem to throw down for a useful buff!

Commento di Thottbot

It's 3% spellhit AND 3% spellcrit, wouldn't call that useless.

Commento di Thottbot

Compared to Natures Swiftness, this talent is useless.

Commento di Thottbot

meister your so dumb it only affects a party so thats 15% at max and thats pretty stupid to have 5 shamans in the same party in a raid

Commento di Thottbot

As geokos said anyone normal should take Natures Swiftness over ToW cause its much better.
But Blizz should make more ranks for this skill like there are more ranks for Earth Shield - like +3% incrisease with every rank so on rank 3 it will boost your ctit chance for 9% or 10%.
Then and only then it would be better and i think much better than Natures Swiftness cause +9% crit chance is very good.

Commento di Thottbot

SHaman is a support class, u need all buffs u can give with your totems, so dont whine it sux with 3 casters in your party it will do his job

Commento di Thottbot

I thought about taking Nature's Swiftness, but then thought about how often I'd really use it. Instant cast Chain Lightning would be great, but it's a 1.5 sec cast right now anyway. Instant heals would be good, but even that wasn't that dire. So while Nature's Swiftness CAN be better, I think Totem of Wrath is more useful on a regular basis.

Commento di Thottbot

I would prefer this over Nature's Swiftness, this would benefit any group and with wrath of air all casters will love you, we are a support class and being elemental you're supporting yourself and other casters. Great totem, I would tend to use this more than NS

Commento di Thottbot

I definitely think NS is much more useful than this. NS has saved my life a million times, whether in solo or instance runs. It is also good when you have to throw an emergency heal in instances to prevent wipe. As to other casters will love u or not, i'd say they will just throw up the dmg meter and say woot! when they don't even realise that a lot of that is from our buff.

Commento di Thottbot

Comparing this spell with Earthshield and nature swift i find it crap.
Because first of all its a fire totem so you have to offer the other one you allways use.
For most of us its the searing totem.
Second the earthshield has got an upgrading pro level 63 and 70
Thirth earth shield has the bonus healing on it which i love.
And last but not least the extra nature swift spell comes with it too.
That is allways nice to have an extra security on attack or defend. (spell/healing)
But there is a negative point too and that is the low damage dealing but i have covered this with putting the rest in elemental.
So i prefer being resto but that is personal.

Commento di Thottbot

Someone told me this totem is stackable if you have multiple elemental shamans. I don't think I've ever been in a party with more than one at a time, so I've been unable to confirm. However, as a Moonkin, I must say I drool at the prospect of partying with 4 Elemental shamans and stacking up a 17.41% crit bonus (with my aura idol on).

Commento di Thottbot

yeah how useful is the spell in pvp.. cant we get something useful like mage do for example.. atleast cant it not be a totem and being a passive spell isntead.. still using firenova totem in pvp

Commento di Thottbot

About the, should I take NS or ToW, its pretty simple if you do a lot of PvE, you take ToW, if you only/do a lot of PvP you take NS
