    spirit kings 25hc, grounding totem still works on Cowardice?

    Just curious if blizz has done something about this. I know it worked at least in november but as we progress hcs now, will it work here now?

    Yes it still does, the Glyph works as well.

    Without the Glyph:

    You put down grounding and the next stack of Cowardice will be soaked.

    With the Glyph:

    Grounding soaks for it's full duration EVERY Cowardice applied on your party, your party is virtually immune against cowardice for this duration.

    Does this work on Normal mode? I assume so, if so our healers will be happy.

    Wait, what?! I'd have killed for that information during early HC progress, would've saved SO much time.

    I wrote that down in a "Useful tips for raiding shaman thread" on MMOC during early MoP.


    Rule 4 of Shaman Raiding:

    Try Grounding on a Boss, doesn't matter if your instincts tell you it won't work.

    Yes it does, the mechanics are the same.

    I can't see this is actually working. This in my experience is how it has always worked. 2 hits and it dies.

    Without the Glyph:

    You put down grounding and the next stack of Cowardice will be soaked.

    With the Glyph:

    Grounding soaks for it's full duration EVERY Cowardice applied on your party, your party is virtually immune against cowardice for this duration.
    Can you please validate your claims?

    Check the uptime of Cowardice on me and some other raid members, i have around 45sec uptime while others have around 60sec.

    Which implies that i stopped dps'ing or somehow avoided Cowardice stacks for 15sec.

    This log is a bit old but it still works, i would post our log from this week, but we had 2 Shaman.

    Ok so without a doubt it provides some usefulness, BUT is there a definitive answer on how effective it is? Does it just spare you or the raid? Does it soak 2 stacks or 20? I appreciate the info regardless.

    As far as I can tell: it soaks 2-4 stacks, glyphed or unglyphed.

    Additionally, the glyph doesn't seem to reflect any damage back to him.

    I should be able to get more info from further testing, but I can't see much more than this right now.

    If you put down Grounding with Glyph, there won't be any new cowardice stacks on you, grounding will soak them without getting destroyed.

    With the Glyph it soaks any stacks generated by your Party for the duration.

    I've given you clear evidence that that's not the case.

    then again, explain me how i managed to gain a lower uptime on Cowardice without stopping dps.

    http://www.worldoflogs.com/reports/r...=10391&e=10916

    Wol is in french, Cowardice is "Lâcheté" and grounding is "Totem de glèbe". Go in "buff gain" and check the timeline for both of those. In the first cowardice phase I stack Cowardice, then drop grounding, 3-4sec later my Cowardice debuff fade, then for ~10-12sec I don't get any debuff, and exactly when grounding fade on me I get a new stack of Cowardice -> Grounding made my immune to the application of the debuff (debuff I had before still tick) for 15sec

    and the war in my group have exactly the same pattern, so it's indeed for all my party -> http://www.worldoflogs.com/reports/r...=10391&e=10916

    edit : that was with glyphed grounding totem, if not glyphed then totem get destroyed instantly
