WTF Tremor Totem ????

[Iceorbz]

It used to be, they would pulse when you dropped them, and every 2 seconds thereafter.
So you could do your macro...

Totem,,,
,Totem,,
,,Totem,
,,,Totem

And spam it four times over 2 seconds, for roughly a maximum of 0.5 seconds of fear before a pulse.
Now, totems pulse every 3 seconds and they pulse according to the server clock.
If you were in a raid with 40 shamans total and someone were to do a fear bomb, regardless of the number of tremor totems out, you have no more protection then a single tremor totem. They all pulse according to the server clock.
Pretty crappy change, imo, but then I'm biased.
Multiple tremors is just more then one to be destroyed, before you're completely vulnerable to fear instead of just mostly vulnerable.

I stager totems right now, no issues with fear it works as it should as far as I can tell

I believe they will be changed to what he described above in 3.1, but I could be wrong.

I've always staggered my tremor totems and I've seen fear break within a second and sometimes take 4-5 seconds to break. In PVP, in PVE it tends to break earlier. There are fear break differences as well in PVE vs PVP, such as it is supposed to last shorter in PVP, and of course damage taken can make fear break earlier. Anyways I haven't seen anyone really test it out since 3.09 and say emphatically whether it pulses on server clock, I do believe that is the intention in patch 3.1 however.

Its all good, soon we wont even need tremor totem. They are nerfing fear pretty hard

I pretty much just trinket all of my followers out of the fear if it doesn't break within 2 seconds because of how terrible the tremor totems are now
