flametongue totemFollow

Does this thing work? I don't see the buff on the tanks portrait. A guy in an instance was asking why I use it. I use it because i was using wrath of air since we have 3 casters. In fact, I find myself not using winfury totem all that much. Seems like we always have hunters and/or rogues in the group. And if it's casters I like to use wrath of air (helps me too :)). So I like to use flametongue for he warrior/tank, but I can't tell if it's working.

Yeah it works. Weapon buffs (like windfury weapon/flametongue) All those do not show up as buffs that you are able to see on other players. You can tell it's working when someone attacks, you can see the fire effect.

Also if the tank already has another temp-buff on his weapon (sharpening stone as an example) then the flametongue buff won't apply.

Rogues want Windfury Totem over Grace of Air. If they don't, they're idiots.

I thought rogues using poisons don't get benefit of windfury? I mainly use it when there's a pally and warrior in the party.

rogues using poisons/stones do not get the benefeit of windfury. windfury and flametongue also used to override temp weapon buffs like that...

This is true, but if Windfury is present, rogues shouldn't be using a poison on their main hand.

something I'll have to ask the rogues. my last kara group had all casters aside from the main tank. And the other group doesn't get my buffs.

Summons a Flametongue Totem with 5 health at the feet of the caster. The totem enchants all party members' main-hand weapons with fire if they are within 20 yards. Each hit causes 6.4 to 19.6 additional Fire damage, based on the speed of the weapon. Slower weapons cause more fire damage per swing. Lasts 2 min.


It never says raid members, so yes only the people near your totem in YOUR group, with no temp weapon buffs will get it.

Something I've only noticed recently is that when I'm running with a sharpened weapon and someone drops this totem, the tooltip on my weapon changes to flametongue, but it keeps behaving as if it were sharpened.

I've always thought flametongue cancelled out the sharpening when it was up because that's how it used to work, so it was a "teh?" moment when I started noticing this.

Another way to check if its working is inspect the player, and on their weapon it will show Flametongue Totem(X minutes remaining) like an enchant on the player's weapon.
