What are Shaman Totems?
As a
萨满祭司
in WoW Classic you will find yourself using several totems at any given time regardless of the type of content you are engaged in, whether it be leveling, raiding, PvP, etc. Your success will depend greatly upon how and when you choose to use the totems in your arsenal.
Totems are broken down into four major elements: Earth, Fire, Water, and Air; within each of these individual elements, you will find several different totems with varying effects to enhance you and your allies in combat. You may only have one of each element of totem down at any given time, allowing you to have a maximum of four totems active at once

Earth:
Earth Totem
: Since the
萨满祭司
class is limited to the Horde Faction during Classic WoW, you are sure to find yourself surrounded by Warriors making
your go-to choice when deciding which Earth totem to use.
is the only offensive Earth totem making it ideal to use in a group of melee players to increase their DPS, in addition, it's important to provide this buff to your tank to help maximize their threat.
: This defensive totem provides a flat 30 damage reduction (max rank) to incoming melee attacks for party members within its range. While this damage reduction won't be noticeable on raid bosses, it's important to note that it can be incredibly useful while leveling, as well as situations where the tank might have aggro on several smaller mobs who don't hit hard individually.
: While flavorful, this totem is in the running for the most niche, you probably won't use this totem outside of leveling as a way to escape mobs, and even then you probably would be better off using
地缚图腾
.
地缚图腾
: Whenever I think of shamans, I think of
地缚图腾
. Earthbind Totem provides shamans with a way to constantly slow enemies around the totem. This can be incredibly useful while leveling, in raids, and in PvP. Whether you find yourself in a situation where you need to kite enemies who are trying to attack your party members or trying to slow an enemy so that your party members can catch up, you should keep this totem in mind.
战栗图腾
: Without Dwarf Priests on Horde, you don't have access to
making
战栗图腾
the only external source for handling fear mechanics on Horde. This totem can be extremely useful for raid encounters that have a fear mechanic (such as Nefarian in BWL, or Onyxia in Onxyia's Lair) or in a PvP situation where you are against a class that has access to fear (Warlock/Warrior). It's important to note that this totem pulses the moment you drop it, and every 5 seconds after. With accurate boss timers, you can time the usage of this totem to break fear instantly.
Fire:
Fire Totem
: The first of the fire totems is a turret that shoots out small bolts of damage every few seconds, while this totem isn't very good in a raid environment, it is quite useful while leveling and in PvP.
: While the Alliance have Paladins with
, the Horde keep their friends warm with
. As you can imagine, 60 frost resistance goes a long way when fighting enemies who use powerful frost attacks against your party. While there are many enemies that you could utilize this totem against, the most notable will be found in the final raid of the expansion: Naxxramas.
: The big brother of
, this totem provides a large burst of AoE fire damage to all enemies within range of the totem. Although you probably won't use this ability on cooldown, it can provide your group with a significant amount of damage in situations where you need to kill several smaller enemies in a short amount of time. It can also be quite impactful in PvP but, it's difficult to land on an opponent who is aware of the totem's existence.
: While
provided a steady output of single target damage, and
provided a large burst of AoE damage,
provides you with a steady output of AoE damage. This totem is best used to help your group kill a group of enemies who will last the full duration of the totem (20 seconds).
: This totem will see very little use as it provides your group with a weapon enhancement similar to the Shaman's personal enhancement
. Unfortunately for
it is no match for the competition of
.
Water:
Water Totem
: While you won't use this totem very often because of it's mana inefficiency, this totem can come in handy when you are able to drop it before you engage an enemy allowing you to drink to full mana before combat.
: Similar to
, this totem is ironically not generally worth the mana used to cast it, it can be advantageous to use this totem during a boss fight if you find yourself in the healer group; but, you are more than likely going to be in a group of 3 warriors and 1 rogue who won't benefit at all from your mana spring totem. Because of this, you are better of saving the mana and using
when applicable.
: Since the first end-game content is mostly comprised of enemies who deal fire damage, this totem becomes the most useful and most often used in end-game scenarios. Use this against enemies who deal significant amounts of fire damage (Ragnaros in Molten Core is a CORE example).
: The Father of
, this totem is the final talent in the Restoration Talent Tree and is commonly specced into when you first reach level 60. Often you will have a rotation of shamans that get swapped into a caster group to get the maximum value out of
, once the totem expires, another shaman will be swapped in to provide the caster group with another boost in mana. It's worth noting that eventually, you won't even spec into this totem as classes become less reliant on it for mana in the end-game.
: As you can imagine, this totem is extremely useful if your party comes under threat from mobs who debuff your allies with diseases. It's worth noting that you won't use this often because you will be able to use
for a single dispel, but if you find a situation to use
instead, you will get a lot of value out of it. This totem cleanses instantly when you drop it, and then again every 5 seconds.
: Similar to
, you have a single dispel for poisons in
but, if you find a situation in which your entire party needs to be cleansed of poison (such as the Loatheb boss encounter in Naxxramas) you will get a tremendous amount of value out of
. This totem cleanses instantly when you drop it, and then again every 5 seconds.
Air:
Air Totem
: Similar to
,
will be used to buff the members of your group and provide them with one of the more versatile stats. It's worth noting that you might have to "twist" this totem alongside
but, without a doubt
provides arguably the most benefit to the most classes (Warrior/Rogue/Hunter/Druid).
: While this won't be as frequently used as
, it is used in a similar fashion to mitigate attacks from enemies who inflict a lot of nature damage to your allies; most notably: Princess Huhuran in AQ 40.
: The ranged version of
is probably going to be one of your least used air totem as there aren't many realistic situations where you'd use this totem.
: The MOST powerful totem you have at your disposal:
provides your party members with a weapon enhancement that allows them a chance to gain an extra auto attack following any melee ability. Warriors and Rogues are going to benefit the most from this totem as all of their offensive abilities work with this totem.
is especially important because the extra attacks provide extra rage for warriors, extra chances at procs such as
龙息红椒
(used by rogues), AND it also enables the two-hand fury spec that relies on the warrior spamming
to get extra attacks from
. Needless to say, this is one of Horde's most iconic abilities and it makes shamans potentially one of the most reliable classes to pick as you look towards the launch of Classic WoW. It's worth noting that the weapon buff lasts 10 seconds allowing you to "twist" in another air totem, such as
, as long as you refresh
before the 10 seconds expires.
: Odds are if you've ever PVPed with or against a shaman you have heard of this spell.
will redirect harmful spells as long as it is active because it has such low life, it will usually only absorb one attack; but, if the harmful spell deals no damage, it has the possibility to absorb more than one spell.
: This totem can actually be quite useful for holding a choke point in world PvP, for instance, if you placed this at the entrance of Blackrock Mountain you could see how many and what type of enemies are approaching. If you wanted to take a screenshot you would be better off using
视界术
.
: A lot of people believe horde doesn't have a way to "control" threat but, when you get enough gear to where mana isn't an issue, "twisting" this totem into your rotation can have a huge impact on your raid's performance. Using this on threat sensitive fights can take a lot of pressure off of your main tank and allow your DPS to play more freely.
Advanced Tactics: Totem Twisting
"Totem Twisting" is an advanced play style for Shaman, for those that are interested in min-maxing. An average player could probably just drop
and
and your melee players would be none-the-wiser; but, if you strive to really get the most out of your totem usage you will definitely want to weave in
or
while the Windfury buff is active.
To elaborate:
applies a weapon enhancement to your party member's weapons for 10 seconds, and it applies immediately after you cast it. Because of this, you are able to perform a rotation where you drop
, replace it with
(or
), and then cast a few healing spells with the time remaining. It's important to note that this is extremely worthwhile to do this as long as you are diligent about refreshing
.

Finding Your Place In The Raid
There are a few potential places you can find yourself when it comes to being a
萨满祭司
in a raid environment: There's your standard melee group, standard healer group, and then finally there are a couple of variations of the Tank group
Standard Melee Group:
This is probably the most common group you will find yourself in, consisting of 3 warriors and 1 rogue you will be looking to keep up
and
, while twisting in
for most situations, as well as
on threat sensitive encounters.
Standard Healer Group:
Probably the LEAST common group to find yourself in, this group really only has a place in early end-game content where you might still be specced into
. While in this group you can still use your utility totems when applicable (think
,
地缚图腾
, etc.) but for the most part, you will be using
for longer encounters such as a boss fight, or if you are clearing a lot of trash in one area.
is a great cooldown in a healer group, as it is essentially a group-wide mana potion, but as time goes on the need for it will fade and you will transition into a melee group with a spec of 0/22/29.
Tank Groups:
There are only two variations of tank groups in regards to shaman usage, and that is the decision to use one or two shamans in it.
If you only bring one shaman, the group plays a lot like your standard melee group: You'll maintain
and
while twisting in
. It's very important to make sure the main tank is maintaining these buffs to maximize threat gain. It's also worth noting that if the tank is tanking several mobs you could potentially use
If you bring two shamans into the tank group, you will simply be covering all bases: you'll still maintain
which, because you have two shamans also allows you to use
simultaneously. Similar to your Earth Totem Usage: one shaman will keep up
while the other will use
. This composition isn't very common but, it's worth noting because it allows you to have 100% uptime on totems you would normally be twisting or using situationally.
Conclusions:
Shaman is one of the most important classes for the Horde faction. Totems such as
define the play style and meta for Horde players.
Efficient usage of totems in raid can provide your raid with extra DPS, extra mana, utility for many situations, and even burst damage in the right situations.
In PVP, a well-timed
can turn the tide of a battle, along with providing warriors with
shamans become a formidable opponent in every aspect of the game.
Shamans are an iconic part of the game's history and are a safe choice if you are looking to play a healer for Classic WoW, correct usage of your totems will cement you a raid spot in any guild you might find yourself in and will have proper groups asking to play with you more often.
