I guess I was remembering the old vanilla implementation, so I am glad to see it's been fixed up to be useful. <br /><br />I guess with that information in mind the ranged Searing Totem might be useful. I guess the Earthquake spell they mentioned in passing is some sort of AOE and if that is targettable at range then they are designing Elemental Shaman to use that instead of Magma. Makes sense as never understood why you guys had to run into melee range to lay a Magma and then stay there to keep it refreshed.Rakhmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16875429172456533751noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3678351814284081230.post-10924722181986599312010-04-08T04:28:19.963+01:002010-04-08T04:28:19.963+01:00I think they forgot that Searing Totem randomly ch...<i>I think they forgot that Searing Totem randomly chooses a target, so its not ideal anyway cos it might go after some crowd controlled add instead of the boss! Hopefully they have some cunning plan to address this shortcoming, but tossing a ranged Magma Totem would be cooler.</i><br /><br />Searing totem actually targets (and has always targetted) whichever target you had selected at the time you placed the totem.<br /><br />It will also specifically <b>not</b> target a crowd controlled mob. That was changed years ago due to it regularly breaking sheeped mobs and sheeped players in PvP, and as far as I know, has not been changed back to it's original vanilla targetting methods since.<br /><br />Ranged placement of Magma Totem would be sweet as though. I hope they do implement that functionality. :)Stormcrazedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04249057805621066790noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3678351814284081230.post-38653015199823557322010-04-08T00:01:50.331+01:002010-04-08T00:01:50.331+01:00Say what you will, but i find Sentry Totem invalua...Say what you will, but i find Sentry Totem invaluable. Every time we have a guild first boss kill, I drop Sentry Totem for the group shot. With that I am able to get far enough from the raid to get everyone and the boss, while still being in the pic myself! Kind of the auto timer of the wow photography world.Skrapshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17911140093148518743noreply@blogger.com
