Grounding Totem in PvP

[Deleted]

just a quick question really... Has the mechanics for grounding totem changed?
before, I was able to see someone casting a CC at me, I could drop my grounding totem and it would eat it up (or bounce it back if graphed)
However, last night in silvershard mines, I was running up to a cart and I saw a shaman there. I prempted the cast, and dropped grounding. Sure enough, they cast polymorphic at me but.... My grounding totem didn't eat it. I was polymorphed and my totem was still standing.


what gives?

latency. It happens pretty frequently to me. Adjust your timing of grounding when it happens (i.e. drop it earlier in the cast).

That can happen if you are out of range of your totem.
