Hi everyone!
With my elemental shaman I am slowly closing in on dinging and I figured most parts about strategies but one: Fire Totems. As far as I understand I shouldn't use tow if a pala or warlock with a crit buff is present in the raid.
1. But what other totem to use? Searing or Magma?
2. How do I place it? What's the best strategy for maximising dps? Should I place three on the outside, run in and place searing/magma? or place all four totems in melee range? Should I then run out or stay close to the totems? I imagine running out will decrease my dps, but magma stays active for only 20 secs? So I would have to close in every 20 secs to place it again which seems really annoying. On the other side I would have a real problem with boss aoe or silencing effects, or movement in general? :S
3. What priority does Fire Nova have, on a) mob packs b) single targets?
Really confused, would appreciate some help from more advanced shaman.
cheers
