Re: Nerf Shaman

I play a Shaman.

The grounding totem only absorbs one spell. Then it's gone.

Yeah, I'd be the first to grudgingly accept that it ought to be nerfed
if it were infinite, but it's not.

Against casters I hardly use it. Better to shock the caster to
interrupt the spells, then kill it fast (windfury) rather than drop a
totem to catch a single spell. Oh, occasionally I'll drop it, but it
uses the Air Totem and I'd rather give party mates the Windfury Totem.

That's just mob casters. Against PvP casters I try the same, but they
do seem to get more spells through to me.

Another thing. "Crowd control (Fear) - Counterable by everyone in the
game."

How is that? By using the trinket for attaining Rank 2 in ones
faction? How many folks is that? Everyone? Hardly. For every Grunt
or better, there's a ton more Scouts.

And my Shaman thinks the Three Life Paladin needs to be nerfed.
"Alright already! Die!" :)
