[Shaman] Double effect + mana back from Grounding Totem

[Itzelsnitch]

Right so might be kinda useless and a big effort for only like 40 mana back but it works ^^

What to do =P
anyway i was killing some groups off 2-3 and it when igot to a grp off 2 they were both casters so i stuck down my grounding totem.
did chain lightning so they both aggro same time
and after there fireballs were casted i used totemic call
(note: i didnt use any other totems so if u usually play with loads of totems its useless)

so in this way i saved my self from 2 fireballs for the cost of 75% of the mana needed for my totem ^^

as i said much effort for small thing but still xD
searched and couldnt find anything .. only the thread about Firenova totem and recall but its not same thing.

common sense? dno not rly.. maybe =P

well its common sense if you played alot shaman ( like me :P ) but yeah its an exploit, cuz it clearly state that it absorb ONE spell

+rep

On a sidenote, you can do the same with Fire Nova Totem, basically what you do is just when it explodes you recall it and gain some mana.

Nice tip though, +rep for that

i though this is wide known.
Also if you r playing VS a warrior and the warrior uses spell reflection dont use an instant spell after a casting spell because that will cause both spells to be reflectedd even though the spell tool tip says only ONE spell can reflected.For example , if a shadowpriest casts mindblast and shadow word :death right after on a warrior it will reflect both spells , but for the fact that sw:death didnt kill the target you will cause about : 1x mind blast +2xsw:death to urself . so BE CAREFUL

That's an exploit of the game-mechanics.
It's not for everyone common sense.
The 'exploit' is really easy to understand.
If you stand 30yard away from the target that casts on you and you stomp your grounding totem out, the spell ie. fireball is flying towards you and in that time the fireball is flying and the totem get's not the damage, 20 people could cast on you and everything would be absorbed by the totem because it's not destroyed.
Funny glitch, same way like the spell reflect of the warrior.
