Stackable Totems (A Guide)

Multiboxing with all Shammies is fun. Period. Why? Because Shammies get so many cool tools and toys, meant to buff a group of other classes. So when you stack those buffs with muiltiple Shaman, it gets really fun. (not to mention cool to see!)

I've been digging for a while to figure out exactly what totems stack, and which don't. I finally found the info I was looking for, where else, but at Dual-Boxing.com.

My favorite Shammieboxer™, (that's right, I coined a phrase!) Ellay, who runs Dual-Boxing.com, clarified most of the Totem details in a post. Here's a visually pleasing summary. (as I know you kids love to be pleased visually.)

Earth Totems

Earthbind Totem Slows enemies Does Not Stack Stoneskin Totem Reduce melee damage taken Does Not Stack Stoneclaw Totem Taunts mobs STACKS! Dropping multiples does wonders for CC. After one dies, the next will grab the mob. Strength of Earth Totem Increase Strength Does Not Stack Tremor Totem Remove Fear, Charm and Sleep effects STACKS! Each totem "pings" at a given rate, so when you stagger your drops, you end up with more coverage. Earth Elemental Totem Summon Tank-like Earth Elemental STACKS! Not really a "stack", but 5 x Tanking Elemental = AwesomeSauce™

Fire Totems

Searing Totem Shoots fireballs at enemies STACKS! They each do their own damage, so they stack just fine! Fire Nova Totem Single AoE explosion after a few seconds STACKS! Same as Searing above Magma Totem AoE / DoT STACKS! Same as Searing and Nova. Dropped close together, and you have some very decent AoE! Frost Resistance Totem + Frost Resist Does Not Stack Flametongue Totem Enchant weapons with +melee (fire) damage Does Not Stack Totem of Wrath +3% to Spell Crit and Hit STACKS! 5 totems = +15% crit AND +15% to hit. So just about no need to spend any item points on +spell hit gear. Fire Elemental Totem Summon DPS Elemental Pet STACKS! Not really a "Stack", but 5 x DPS Elemental pets. WOOT!

Water Totems

Healing Stream Totem HoT to party STACKS! Drop 5 of these and you just about don't need to heal your group. Mana Spring Totem MoT to party Does Not Stack Poison Cleansing Totem Remove 1 poison every 5 seconds STACKS! Can "stack" if you stagger your drops. Disease Cleansing Totem Remove 1 disease every 5 seconds STACKS! Same as Poison Mana Tide Totem + 6% of total mana every 4 seconds for 12 seconds STACKS!
