Tremor: yes - if the totems are dropped in a staggered fashion, the fear-breaking pulses will be more frequent
Has anybody absolutely, unequivocally proven this to still be the case?

There was a flurry of posts some time ago (3.1?) which suggested that the totem "pulse" timers are now synchronised server-side and staggering them makes no difference - they all pulse together.

Ditto for the Cleansing totem.

And, since I'm thread hijacking, can anybody confirm which of the totems still breaks enemy stealth in PvP? :whistling:
