Earth Totems
Strenght of Earth Totem
- This helps the tank gain more block chance strenght = more block
- helps melee classes deal more damage + thank dealing more threat
- Used for Totem Twisting
Stoneskin Totem
- Really strong defensive totem when you weild axe/mace and sheild and flametongue you find that deal more damage then windfury two-handed lottery crits.
- not good verses raid bosses but amazing in dungeons and dungeon bosses very helpful in large trash pulls
- very good totem
Stoneclaw totem
- this totem can be used to allow a shaman run past monsters they dont wish to fight and excape mobs works well with earthbind totem
- using this totem while solo leveling and questing isnt a bad idea specially if have 2 more on you
Earthbind Totem
*when ever you think shaman you think about this totem + it mixed with frost shock allows you run circles around ppl in pvp
- its also incredibly useful in pve helps tank helps your party when mage pulls aggro cause over all damage it useful allowing you to kite making things easier
** Tremor Totem - This totem is awesome
- horde doesnt have fear ward so instead they have tremor totem. this is awesome in dungeons and in raids good vs onyxia good in blackwing lair.
- awesome in pvp vs classes that like to fear vs warlock vs warrior moment it pulses its removed from party
Fire Totems
- Searing Totem - your go to totem in leveling or pvp. saidly not very strong in raiding
Frost Resistance Totem
- Very strong against enemies that use powerful frost attacks . this good vs mobs or players deal alot ice magics
Fire Nova Totem -
- Superior to magma and searing totem everyway but has cooldown thou often has monsters attacking it before goes off
- probably wont use this on cooldown unless your killing several enemies at once with a chain lighting + nature swiftness + chain lightning nova combo
- but in pvp its quite impactful alot times players ignore your totems. at there own folly
Magma Totem - This is aoe version searing totem aoe damage can be nice thought not as powerful as fire nova it offers steady damage increase good when want focus more on mp5
Flametongue totem - provides group with flametongue unfornately it isnt as strong as windfury totem. but it has its uses
Water Totem
Healing Stream Totem
- very strong when in comboed with stoneskin totem take hardly no damage.
- bested use is at full mp
Mana spring totem
- this totem only useful if shaman is in a caster dominated group offers consistant mp5 however in a melee group you never use this. instead you use healing or fire resistance totem if needed
Fire Resistance Totem
*big bad molten core totem its end game totem
Mana Tide Totem -
- most overpowered totem in the whole game only has 5 min cooldown. can instantly give you and your party 70-100% there mana return mana boost is so impactful that it makes restoration specs one of top shaman dps/tanking healing specs cause mana flood it gives better then actually getting 100% crit damage in elemental tree cause never run out of gas never go oom your damage is constant never stoping
- most value it has is to shaman or group casters that good omm often need that mana tide boost keep damage flowing

Nature Resistance Totem - useful only in AQ 40 Princess Huhuran
Windwall Totem - Ranged Damage version of Stonewall totem. good in dungeons in defensive mode totem set up
Windfury totem - the most powerful totem in the game
*biggiest mistake that damage metters or details make is not contributing fact that windfury totem is reason why warriors dealing so much damage in first place. thats not there damage its your damage if it wasnt for this totem warrior dps wouldnt exist
Grounding totem - Best pvp 1 v1 one totem against mages a redirect offensive spells to your grounding totem makes fighting shamans very annoying
however does have uses in pve too when fighting casters.
Sentry totem - is awful its basically far sight watch better using instead
