Yes, I'm serious. Because that's the whole point here: targets staying within range of the totems/turrets.
And still remained mid- to bottom-tier even during and after Legion?
And I keep pointing out you would not need to drop Grounding Totem whatsoever unless there's a dire emergency because not only shamans have an interrupt spell, but also so does the tank and likely all the other DPS.
I can if it's an interrupt-able spell. And also, let me remind you, that dropping Tremor Totem is not "severely gimping your performance". It's actually greatly improving your performance because now, instead of running around like a headless chicken in fear, you're immediately back to DPS'ing/healing thanks to your totem.
Keep talking, Teriz. The more you talk, the more you prove that you never played shaman in the first place.
That wasn't what you said:
You specifically mentioned the tank, meaning you were in a group. If you are pulling mobs the tank did not pull, then regardless of what totem you use, you're already gimping your performance because you're showing that either: a) you don't know how to play shaman; or b) you don't know how to play in groups. You don't pull mobs. The tank does, unless they ask you to.
Bullshit. Stoneclaw would not have saved you in dungeon/raid content.
The real world disagrees with you. The more you talk about how shamans play, the more you show how you never played a shaman, much less in group content.
And now you're moving the goalposts by claiming the buffs are passive, when you specifically mentioned they being cooldowns:
Irrelevant. You asked a question, and I answered it.
I'm sorry, but you're wrong. My name is not "Teriz". You're the only one here who is being dishonest, using double-standards, denial, moving the goalposts, stating opinions as fact, etc.
