| Q: Will we be able to change the preset totems in combat or arenas? A: You can change them whenever you want. You can also set up the bar to drop 2 or 3 totems if that's all you want for the situation. They also work with dual-spec so you can effectively get 6 different totem configurations and all are easy to change. We also included more key bindings for the new slots. Most shamans in our tests just move their totems off of their action bars. It depends a little on how many different totems you need at a moment's notice. It might be harder to remove the totems from your bar if you PvP a lot and need a specific totem often. Q: How will totems with a cooldown function? Will it drop a different totem? Drop 3? A: If a totem is on cooldown, it will drop what it can, so you might get 3 out of 4. If you don't have enough mana however it won't drop any rather than try to guess which ones you want. You can still cast totems manually by just clicking their button too. Q: Is there going to be any changes to the range, survivability or health of totems in general? A: We are not going to make totems hard to kill, however we might make an exception for Mana Tide. Q: Is there going to be a change to the mana cost of totems in general? Perhaps a refund when we cast new ones, as if we had despawned them with Call of Earth? A: No. Call of Earth still provides the partial refund however. Q:Will the Calls be subject to the current 1 second GCD totems have, or the 1.5 second GCD the rest of our abilities have? A: Even if it's 1.5 sec it shouldn't be as big a deal because you will rarely ever be casting one totem right after the other (you will drop them all at once now). |
