New tremor totems are awful...

[heyaz]

If anyone is still sskeptical or wants "confirmation", I'll make a video of me dropping 3x tremor totems, staggered or not, and then fear bombed. It's pretty apparent.

BGs have been miserable lately, I noticed once I get one fear bomb, every class that can fear follows me around for the rest of the BG and just mops the floor with my group. I don't think they are aware of the change, I think they just announce "it's so easy to kill the box group, just fear bomb. Then of course having 4 ppl out of the team pretty much useless, we end up getting 5 capped or 2000-0'd real quick

I haven't arena'd since the change but I'm kinda afraid too.. I usually get fear bombed at least 2-3 times a game depending on the classes, sometimes more, but the old totems broke it instantly.

a 3 sec pulse will be the end of pvp multiboxing (quad+).

all the cc, aoe and server lag took already so much fun out of it, but this makes it impossible to controll your chars anymore.

Quite sick of hearing this all the time, its been said tons of times since the launch of WOTLK . Still here are players who reached +1900..

MB isnt a free ticket to 2k rating anymore easy as that.

- 3 sec pulse isn't in yet.
- i know no mb with 2k rating yet, only two with 1.9k using imba healers
- i only play a penta (5) team and that's real hard
- mb was never a free ticket for high ratings

Tremor Totem is back to the way it used to be in Season 1-4 or there abouts, it was beefed up to pulse every second and not it back to normal.
The reason 4 Shamans was amazing back then was because you can stagger your tremor totems which I explained oh so long ago and I hope everything that is doing Arena's with Shamans is staggering, because it's basically immunity still to this day.
Going back to 3 seconds pulse for playing a single shammy does hurt and is especially frustrating when your tremor is down a priest whacks it, you drop another totem and are promptly feared and he whacks the next one out as well, giving you a full duration fear.

Tremor not ticking each 3 second?

Read this mate: http://blue.mmo-champion.com/13/1544...ge-again-.html

There were a few 2k+ boxers in TBC and thats what i refered to, free ride to 2k is more an common expression then a something i directly refer to.. Im sorry if i made you misunderstand me.

Ofc 5 boxing is hard, it brings no real advantages compared to play 4x and a healer. Who wants to play 5 dps? It have never been successful and most likley never will be either..

I didnt mean that MB was a free ticket but it was alot easier in TBC then now, 1700 rating in a few epics compared to fully epic and alot lower rating now.

Tremor totem nerfs will never be the end of 5 boxing PvP. Why do I say this?

My PvP team is priest, druid, magex3 and fear is rarely the cause of a death for me. Though I can silence people into the ground (silence DR was a HUGE nerf to my team as I have 17 seconds of silence on a 30 second CD providing none of my counterspells hit a spell lock for an extra 4 seconds each) any coordinated fear attempts will force me to trinket and eat a full fear if a second one is around. I learned to play around it. Any class that can fear is an immediate priority for me.

You shaman will just have to learn to watch for fear in a different way now that tremor totem is not complete fear immunity. The same way that I don't completely ignore healers like I did before the silence DR nerf.

I've been trying this out. When I first read this, I went to run King Dred. I had been just dropping 1 totem (didn't realize it was bugged, but I did realize soon enough that one was enough), so in the interests of exploration I tried just one again. Yep, sure enough, I'm running all over the place and wipe.

Next fight, I drop 3 totems staggered 1s apart and it's breaking fear just like before. I've now run Dred about 4 other times, each time staggering, and no fear has lasted on me more than 1 s.

I think it has a 3s pulse, but can still be staggered. Sucks for the single shaman, but all is well with the multi shaman teams, just gotta stagger

If you park your group in that little gap just before the stairs the fear wont make them run all over. Your tank will still be feared all over but your group will be ok. I hate fear in instances because I run pally, 3 mages, 1 druid healer. I have to eat all fears.
