can i ask

/cast [target=focustarget] Lightning Bolt
/assist Focus

whats the point in the /assist Focus on the end?

the /assist piece was just for my live stream pc so you could see who I was targeting, when I first set it up - no one could tell who I was going for :P

Stream?

i have 3 sets of macros for my totems. i have a set of macros for just tremor
/castsequence tremor totem,,,
/castsequence ,tremor totem,,
etc

and the usual one ellay stated and another with just 4x grounding. sometimes sticking down 1 at a time can take too long.

/castsequence reset=15 Poison Cleansing Totem, Searing Totem, Tremor Totem, Grounding Totem

Why end with grounding totem and not with searing totem?

Becuase with 4 shamans, your going to be casting all 4 differant totems.

Ex.
Shaman 1 /castsequence reset=15 Poison Cleansing Totem, Searing Totem, Tremor Totem, Grounding Totem
Shaman 2 /castsequence reset=15 Searing Totem, Tremor Totem, Grounding Totem, Poising Cleansing Totem
Shaman 3 /castsequence reset=15 Tremor Totem, Grounding Totem, Poising Cleansing Totem, Searing Totem
etc. etc.

In my setup I actually leave Grounding totem last on all my Shaman. Since your tremor totem is on a 3 second pulse you dont gain anything by dropping a your 4th Shamans last. it just stacks with the first totem drop.

In practice saving your grounding totem for last allows me to reapply my other totems in 3 keypresses. I have my grounding totems all linked so i can instant drop on all four toons also.

I open up with:

[align=justify]Shaman 1 /castsequence reset=15 Tremor Totem, Poising Cleansing Totem, Searing Totem, Wrath of Air Totem
Shaman 2 /castsequence reset=15 Poison Cleansing Totem, Searing Totem, Tremor Totem, Grounding Totem
Shaman 3 /castsequence reset=15 Searing Totem, Tremor Totem, Poising Cleansing Totem, Grounding Totem
Shaman 4 /castsequence reset=15 Tremor Totem, Poising Cleansing Totem, Searing Totem, Grounding Totem
[/align]
[align=justify]I had good success with this because if they happen to rush in while the Grounding totems are on cooldown and things don't go as planned, I can throw one up and hopefully eat a couple of spells while I run for cover so I can reapply grounding totems. I believe Grounding totem management is probably one of the best tools we have. Shutting down DPS and fears is a big part of the Shaman synergy. If played right a lock has to get through 12 totems to fear you. 8 Grounding and 4 Tremor. I'd say its a bit OP but without it these classes would destroy us.[/align]
[align=justify] Those 15s while the Grounding Totem is on cooldown is when we are most vulnerable to casters. Keeping your Grounding totems on cool down at the same time allows for an incredibly strong D against casters. If you space them evenly in your castsequence the cooldown will never be up when you need it. Ie. Being fear spammed by warrior, warlock, priest...while the mage has bloodlust up and is casting frostbolts faster then you can heal through them; while you try to drop grounding totem after grounding totem is sequence. A totally different result than if you can just drop 4 at once, purge and nuke.[/align]

Switch out one of those tremor's for Earthbind Totem.
