So TOW is now raid ride but doesn't stack, OK. So any other elemental shaman in a raid means their 41 pt TOW talent is now useless, or did I miss how bliz was going to fix that predicament?
As is moonkin aura, as is trueshot aura, as is sanctity aura... All talented abilities that work raid-wide in WoTLK but will not stack. A ele shammy can either use their 41 pt ToW to add additional RANGE to their totems if the raid is sperad out, or can provide Flametongue weapon totem to the raid to up everyone else's +dmg, or can add offensive fire totems to increase their DPS. Just because YOU are not laying ToW doesn't mean you don't get the effect -- if you're not laying ToW that means some other shaman already is -- and you still get the benefit of it.

I think they're making this the general rule:
If it works raid-wide (i.e. totems, auras) it does not stack.
If it's a party buff (i.e. ferocious inspiration), it will continue to stack


Having totems work raid-wide is a multiboxer nerf, and a raid buff. Now what percentage of the population raids vs multiboxes?

Furthermore, I can finally stop QQing when a turd in AV gets leader and doesn't put all of my shammies in the same group. Geez that's annoying not to have my perfectly aligned totem combinations.
