Placing a grounding totem is a must when you encounter a mage or warlock. When fighting a mage, the first thing they cast will probobly be polymorph. The grounding totem absorbs the polymorph spell and since it wasn't dealt damage, it still sits there, ready to absorb another spell in 10 seconds (8 if you specced the talent).

Also very useful to throw down right as a mage is casting a fireball or a warlock is casting a shadowbolt.

Use a grounding totem before you accept the duel (Wait about 15 sec until the cooldown is gone). If you do that the totem will absorb the next spell and you will be able to make a new grounding totem asap since the cooldown (15 seconds) is gone.
Grounding totem is very useful in PVE raids as well against caster mobs etc.

Very True , I am Specced Elemental and my buddy is DW with Stormstrike, always fun to fight a mage in AB when we lay double grounding totems, very fast kill with mine and his CL and SS combos on multiple casters. Grounding is indeed great cause it absorbs the poly and since its not a sheepable target it makes you and the totem immune

Grounding Totem is one of those spells that you simply love, dropping it gives you immunity to the next offensive spell cast unless its an AoE, this includes polymorph, fear, daze, hunters mark, pyroball and all bolts, practically every spell you can think of. But be warned, certian abilities are NOT spells, such as sap, charge, hemmorage and cleave, but it does take hamstring and demoralising. A good combo to use when defending or camping is Ghostwolf and grounding, meaning that no one can CC you as it will be absorbed by the totem and sap wont be cast on you as you are considered a beast, happy pwning

We all know the classic battle Paladin vs. Shaman. The worst thing it's when you heal and they hammer you. Well, remember that Grounding Totem also redirect their hammer.

In PvE, this and Earth Shock makes almost any caster mob you find, useless.

Keep these suggestions in mind for PvE group or soloing. The grounding totem will absorb more than direct damage spells. It will protect you against curses, mana drains, and other abilities you might not think of trying it on.

The comment on dropping it before entering a duel works the same as for regular PvE. Drop it before aggroing a caster, and you will be able to drop another one immediately or after your Earth Shock.

Grounding is obviously great in PvP, especially vs a Warlock. Since many of their spells don't do damage initially, with server lag the totem can eat up 2 non-damageing spells before the 10 second cooldown comes into effect (so 7 seconds later it can eat more spells).

Group with another Shaman for more grounding fun.

This totem is also key on the Lady Vashj fight (she does some big shocks spells) and in Kara to eat Repetance from Maidan.

This totem is godly in PvP, especially in 2v2 arenas VS any dot class such as a Shadowpriest or a Warlock.. Speaking as a shadowpriest it's insanely unfair that I have practically no way to destroy this unless I use up my mind blast.. It'll absorb an infinite amount of dots until destroyed by a direct damage spell or manually targetting and ganking it... This needs to be fixed :|

From the 2.3 patch notes:
Grounding Totem: This totem is now destroyed upon redirecting any spell to itself.

Also note that with the new 4-piece Vengeful Gladiator's Wartide set bonus combined with the Guardian Totems talent, you can reduce the cooldown on this totem to 11 seconds.

Hi guys, I have a question:
can Grounding Totem redirect the Stormstrike?

Thanks :P

Just wanted to let everyone know that Ground also takes Freezing Trap, which can be hilarious against hunters. :)

does this is arc missiles?

As a mage, I find it especially frustrating when a shaman places this totem down while I'm trying to get a nice shatter combo going, either absorbing my 70% crit chance frost bolt, or ice lance.

So yes, a very useful totem, saving a shaman of what is very often from mages an easy 3-4k crit spell.

Commentaire de 182073

quick question will this work in encounters such as maiden to absorb her holy fire spell.

Commentaire de Iceleaf

Currently bugged. For some reason it takes damage/reflects spells from DK hits...your own party that is.
My friend was in group with me. He used death grip -> it was reflected to grounding totem.

Edit: No longer grips the totem

Commentaire de archmagespark

this totem can be destoyed by searing totem :)

Did they change this totem? .... for the better?

Since 3.0.8, I'm noticing the grounding totem absorb multiple things when I'm in BGs.

At first I thought ok maybe my mods screwed (it reports what my grounding grounds); that was until the other day when I did Violet Hold heroic; I placed a grounding down to take those Arcane Streams, so I put one down and it ate one...but the totem stayed, then it ate the next one, stayed, and next one after that, and it kept eating magic spells until the duration was up!
Of course I noticed it had an internal cooldown of like 5seconds before it was up to eat the next thing (Indigestion I guess).

Still praying to read this some time in the patch notes "Glyph of grounding totem - 25% chance to reflect the spell back to the caster"

Commentaire de 321829

Deathgrip? Please tell me it redirects death grip. Just came back to my 60 shaman, and atm and he is surrounded by hostile dk's everywhere I go >< so to be honest I've been shying away from him since it's just an alt for fun...and constant DK beat downs ain't much fun :P it takes me away from my totems and out of range a lot, dropping em all again eats up valuable GCDs

Small question, everyone says grounding totem absorbs hex and sheep, but mine never does?

Commentaire de pnukup

It also can ground Paladins Stun: Hammer of Justice

Commentaire de Abomb

could it group a priests MC? probably not put that would be funny if it could imagine a priest thinking hes controlling a shammy only to find he cant move, or cast, or do anything them he sees a mage cast icelance at him and one shot him.

Grounding Totem will now properly protect against the Death Grip spell.

Best bug in the game!

Grounding Totem redirects one harmful spell every 10 seconds. However, the spell destroys the totem so you'll have to throw another.

Because the totem is destroyed, the talent for Improved Grounding Totem is completely useless as it can only absorb one spell before selfcombusting.

Also, the totem only absorbs direct damage spells. Debuffs (Shadow Word: Pain, Corruption, Immolate) are not absorbed which makes this totem one of my least used.

Description should be remade.

absorbs one harmful spell every 10 seconds for each nearby party member

absorbs one harmful direct damage spell for each nearby party member

FTFY.

GG Blizzard!
