Anyone else loving the new magma totem :)

[Dominian]

Theres no way the wrath will make the other 4 do more additional damage than just dropping a 5th magma totem... if a magma totem conservatively does 600 damage per tick without wrath, and say 650 damage per tick with it (probably not even that much extra), then dropping 1 extra magma would be 600 extra damage per tick, but dropping a wrath instead would be 200 extra damage per tick. Even if wrath raises the damage of magma by double that you're still better off dropping an extra magma

So you drop 5 magmas and just stand there?

Or do you actualy chain lightning/thunderstorm/whatever

I play 4 shamans not 5, and if I am strictly trying to AoE down mobs, which is the situation I described, I would much rather have the extra magma totem than a ToW. I want max aoe damage spread across all mobs if I'm trying to AoE. I don't drop magmas unless I'm purposefully trying to aoe something down for a reason and I don't PvP. The only time I use magma totems as of now even post patch is the bats in drak'tharon and prince keleseth. (and liberally in CoS)

Well i agree with dropping 4 out of 4 or 5 out of 5 if the point is strictly to aoe

But usualy when i aoe i need to healmyself aswell and tow counts towards healing done aswell!
