Placing a grounding totem is a must when you encounter a mage or warlock. When fighting a mage, the first thing they cast will probobly be polymorph. The grounding totem absorbs the polymorph spell and since it wasn't dealt damage, it still sits there, ready to absorb another spell in 10 seconds (8 if you specced the talent).

Also very useful to throw down right as a mage is casting a fireball or a warlock is casting a shadowbolt.

Use a grounding totem before you accept the duel (Wait about 15 sec until the cooldown is gone). If you do that the totem will absorb the next spell and you will be able to make a new grounding totem asap since the cooldown (15 seconds) is gone.
Grounding totem is very useful in PVE raids as well against caster mobs etc.

Very True , I am Specced Elemental and my buddy is DW with Stormstrike, always fun to fight a mage in AB when we lay double grounding totems, very fast kill with mine and his CL and SS combos on multiple casters. Grounding is indeed great cause it absorbs the poly and since its not a sheepable target it makes you and the totem immune

Grounding Totem is one of those spells that you simply love, dropping it gives you immunity to the next offensive spell cast unless its an AoE, this includes polymorph, fear, daze, hunters mark, pyroball and all bolts, practically every spell you can think of. But be warned, certian abilities are NOT spells, such as sap, charge, hemmorage and cleave, but it does take hamstring and demoralising. A good combo to use when defending or camping is Ghostwolf and grounding, meaning that no one can CC you as it will be absorbed by the totem and sap wont be cast on you as you are considered a beast, happy pwning

We all know the classic battle Paladin vs. Shaman. The worst thing it's when you heal and they hammer you. Well, remember that Grounding Totem also redirect their hammer.

In PvE, this and Earth Shock makes almost any caster mob you find, useless.

Keep these suggestions in mind for PvE group or soloing. The grounding totem will absorb more than direct damage spells. It will protect you against curses, mana drains, and other abilities you might not think of trying it on.

The comment on dropping it before entering a duel works the same as for regular PvE. Drop it before aggroing a caster, and you will be able to drop another one immediately or after your Earth Shock.

Commento di Thottbot

It may absorb spells like polymorph or fear which dont break the totem.

Commento di Thottbot

To protect against fear and all just use Tremor totem. Works better. Grounding totem is sweet for tons of stuff, especially if you upgrade it in talents ;)

Mine don't get destroyed with each block, probably the enemy is destroying them coz they know what they do...

Go fight a boss that casts, and drop this tot. Guess what he does immediately - he walks over and destroys it. You know why? Coz enemy AI knows that Grounding totem pwns them. They know better than to let it sit there. If your human caster enemy is stupid enough to let it stay there then relish the pwnage ;)

Summons a Grounding Totem with 5 health at the feet of the caster that will redirect one harmful spell cast on a nearby party member to itself every 10 seconds. Will not redirect area of effect spells. Lasts 45 sec

That�s the text, now upon initial examination you would think this is broken when you first use it because it "disappears" after the first spell hits it, but it's really not, here is what happens.

Used properly here are the sequence of events.

1. Gather aggro from mob
2. Drop this totem
3. totem will pulse and absorb spells properly when they are cast at YOU, not at the totem

Method 2, which some think is broken

1. Drop totem
2. It generates ENORMOUS aggro for spell casters, much more even than Stoneclaw
3. Mob sees this and immediately attacks totem which only has 5 health
4. Totem appears to "absorb" the spell but it's really getting destroyed.

So what's really happening, is the totem is getting used as aggro control, not spell control.

If you already have established aggro, this totem will work properly.

Try it on something that casts smaller spells more often like sprites and you will see it work, but make sure to blast the sprite with an earth shock first.

Commento di Thottbot

does this absorb debuffs?

Commento di Thottbot

I had my friend cast frost shock (we're both shamans) on me in a duel to see what it does, it immediately redirected the frost shock to the totem and the totem was destroyed. I haven't tested with anyone else, but I'm guessing if the cast comes with damage, it'll destroy the totem, if the cast doesn't, like polymorph or fear, it won't destroy it.

Commento di Thottbot

one of the best.

TimTheEnchanter gains Unstable Power.
TimTheEnchanter gains Presence of Mind.
You cast Grounding Totem.
TimTheEnchanter's Pyroblast crits Grounding Totem for 2836 Fire damage.

Useless, I think not. :)

Commento di Allakhazam

It will be destroyed by DAMAGE spells, however it should be able to absorb several harmful, non-damage spells, like polymorph, mindcontroll, counterspell etc.

Commento di Allakhazam

Best bug in the game!

Grounding Totem redirects one harmful spell every 10 seconds. However, the spell destroys the totem so you'll have to throw another.

Because the totem is destroyed, the talent for Improved Grounding Totem is completely useless as it can only absorb one spell before selfcombusting.

Also, the totem only absorbs direct damage spells. Debuffs (Shadow Word: Pain, Corruption, Immolate) are not absorbed which makes this totem one of my least used.

Description should be remade.

absorbs one harmful spell every 10 seconds for each nearby party member

absorbs one harmful direct damage spell for each nearby party member

FTFY.
