Hi
I understand that totems are part of what make shamans unique from other classes, and i like them and all, but...

Why must they all be so weak and easily destroyed? It is so annoying being the only class in-game whose major CDs can be one-shotted from us (dont bring up dispelling Wings and enrages and such, because only certain classes can do that, whereas every class can remove our totems).

It just frustrates me so much when im in an arena and need to put down a mana tide totem, only to have the enemy healer run up to it and either just melee it away, or 1- shot it with an insta cast spell. I feel that this will be worse in MoP seeing as all of our totems are supposed to be more like big CDs, rather than just minor buffs.

Im not asking for them to be indestructible or anything, just for them to have a little bit more HP so that it takes more than just a weak hit to remove them, stoneclaw totem shields them for about 4k but thats hardly anything considering its usually on CD because I need the shield on myself at other times.

Either a buff to stoneclaw totem, or to the hp of the important CD totems is all that needs to be done, nothing special.

I dont mean to make this a QQ thread, just sharing my thoughts on the matter and I wanted to see whether u guys thing it would be a good idea, or if it would unbalance things a little bit :)

I agree, spirit link shouldn't be one shottable by a healers melee swing - It's an important CD.

One-shotting SLT should rebalance your health (the attacker's) with the party. :P
