1 click for 4 totems ?Follow

Have you trained the new skills? Visit your trainer and pick those up first. You get Call of the Elements at 30, Call of the Ancestors at 40 and Call of the Spirits at 50. You'll be able to store a different set for each Call.

If you use the default UI, you'll notice four new totem icons above your action bar. Once you train the skills, you can assign a group of totems to one of the Call buttons (Call button will show up on the left side of the toolbar). Move the Call button on to your hot bar and click. 4 totems at once. Works pretty smooth if you ask me and will free up quite a few action bar slots.

If you have a customized UI, that may need to be updated first to accomodate the new totem toolbar.

You can also set a keybind for each of the calls from the default keybindings UI without having to drag it to your action bar. I still have specific totems on my action bar for situational use (ie. tremor, cleansing, grounding, earth/fire elemental) so I can just replace a totem instead of spending the mana to re-drop all four, but the ability to drop 4 totems at once is awesome.

Any benefit provided by totem add-ons is now mostly cosmetic. I know some people prefer having larger and more visible totem timers displayed on the screens. As far as function, however, yes, I would say you should be able to get rid of your totem add-ons.


It's not a special item you need to equip or keep in your bag. Any equippable relic, such as Totem of the Bay, Totem of Misery, etc., will count as the only totem you need to carry.

As mentioned above (and in another thread on the General Forums), you never had to carry those four totems with you for a while now. You've always been able to just keep them in the bank and it'd still work (especially since you're carrying around your relic totem anyway).

You can't plan for every contingency, so it's better to just avoid typesetting the situational totems in your calls. As Resto, for example, I have two of the calls set to general instance/raid totems with the only variation being WoA or WF for a caster or melee-heavy group respectively, and then one call for my PvP totems. If I need Tremor or Cleansing (or whatever) in PvE I just lay it.
