Tips

  • Searing Totem fights for you where you drop it, but it reaches only 20 yards, so set it down close to the enemy you plan to fight.
  • Call of the Elements drops up to 4 totems from your Totem Bar at once, so set the bar up ahead of time and cast one spell instead of several.
  • Totemic Recall removes your totems and returns part of their mana cost, so use it after a fight instead of leaving them behind.
  • Earth Shock interrupts spellcasting as well as dealing damage, so keep it ready when you face an enemy caster.
  • Reincarnation lets you get back up by yourself after dying, which can save a group when no one else is left to bring you back.
