xD Thanks.
Would you like something to soothe yourself? Something relaxing? Some new age music?
I've got the Enya CDs.

The totem is actually pretty good, it can push back spells and deal some pretty nice constant damage, especially in a PvE situation.
For a pvp spec ele shaman, searing totem can greatly increase DPS. Try it.
Even as Resto it's good, since they gave +dmg to Healing gear. Even before they gave resto +dmg it was a reasonable amount of damage to add to a boss fight considering the cheap cost (both mana and cast time)
It can crit and it's invaluable on some fights, such as Leo the Blind.

Searing Totem can two-shot 25-man raid bosses. True story.

I knew there was a problem when we wiped on Curator. It wasn't the stupid warlock, it was the lack of Shaman!
I necroed this thread because I've another Searing Totem question.
In 25-man raids, an elemental shaman typically 1) doesn't have Call of Flame, or do they? and 2) doesn't have a use for all 4 totems constantly?
I was just thinking to myself... how much would a raiding elemental shaman like it if they had an ability that could turn all 4 totems into Searing Totems for thirty seconds?

Call of Flame is wasted in raids 99% of the time because you're going to be dropping Totem of Wrath 99% of the time. Searing Totem is a gamble on most trash because it can and will break CC, making 9-24 people very unhappy with you. Totem of Wrath is much safer, and the buff to the other 1-4 of our group members usually outweighs the DPS Searing Totem will put out anyways.
It's easy to fit into a raiding build if you really want it, but there are better places to put the points.

There is no caster-oriented earth totem, so unless there is some melee in your group, something you need to break with Tremor Totem, or the very, very rare case you need to use Stoneskin Totem, then no. Water, fire, and wind should be down 100% of the time though or the Shaman is fail.

It'd be a downright broken DPS increase on boss fights, but see above for why it wouldn't be that great in general.

Yeah, Mana Spring, Wrath of Air, and Totem of Wrath. Don't know why I didn't shut out the idea myself.
Though, when you say 'broken', you mean "crappy" and not "overpowered", right?
It's like shit and the shit to me. Opposite connotations possible.

Lol... It does go both ways, but no, in this particular instance I mean "overpowered". Starting off a boss fight with 30 seconds of four Searing Totems running would be a ton of DPS and you wouldn't pay one bit of threat for it since each totem would have its own threat generation seperate from each other and from you.
50 to 66 Fire damage at rank 7, and can 2-shot a raid boss? LOL

Actually, for an Elemental Shaman with any decent amount of +spell damage, it's pretty non-trivial to get your Searing Totem to hit for between 100-200 per shot, but that's neither here nor there.
That "two-shot" jab is a long-running joke from a discussion that I never intend to let WeakenedShadow live down in which he claimed that it was not only possible, but common occurance for Elemental Shaman to two-shot people in PvP.
The big issue being, of course, that as we all know, pulling a fnucking semi-tractor trailer with your pearly white teeth is possible, but pay attention on your drive home from work today and let me know how many people you actually see doing it.

Speaking of which, Healing Stream Totem and Searing Totem scale up just how much? I think I remember seeing 900% (for the 2-minute duration) on WoWWiki for Healing Stream, but I don't believe it yet.
And while we're at it, what are the coefficients for Flametongue and Frostbrand? If someone here knows them.
Now the Fire Nova totem Rank 7 inflicts 654 to 730 fire damage to enemies. So that would be a good kick in the butt if the mob does not nuke it first.
