World of Warcraft®

Having played a lot of arena the last week, I've noticed a slight disadvantage for Ele shammies - we can't use Earth Elelmental and we can't use Fire Elemental. But on the other hand I see hunter pets that do twice the damage, Spirit Wolves that rip people apart, we got 'lock pets that drain mana. Where is the logic in excluding our elemental totems?

We got Spirit Walker's Grace - yes great we can run towards targets and pew pew, but apart from that, Shocks and Unleash Elements we have to be mobile to do damage. I fail to see where it could be such a big advantage for us to use those totems, that they are actuallt excluded from arena.

Fire elemental would only ever catch out poor players, but anyone with any sense would destroy the totem with ease. Still boggles me why they aren't allowed.

They have to Keep Frost mage, Frost DK and Warrior as faceroll as possible, and seeing the current player base 90% of those classes would just start hitting on the elemental instead of the totem...

They used to be strong, but they aren't any more. Bliz have just left it as is.

Same goes for DKs army of the dead .

These are simply outdated skills .

Army of the infinite Victory Rush. Effing love it.

Maybe one day we'll see a return of such now weak abilities back into arena. Other than that, Shamans and DKs can do pretty well without, and it's not like we're truly missing them.

In RBG's I use fire elemental totem 2 times and it usually do 400-500k damage alone ;o)
I am resto.

See I don't even mind you can take them out by looking at the totem, I'm just boggled why we can't use them.
