Totem Twisting

Totem Twisting is a strategy employed by a Shaman in order to allow his group to benefit from two totems from the same magic school at once. It is principally used with Windfury Totem and Grace of Air Totem, although conceivably it could be used to with Flametongue Totem and Totem of Wrath.

The idea behind totem twisting is that, since Windfury Totem periodically applies a 9 second weapon buff, another totem can be dropped within the 9 second intervals.

For example:

* Shaman drops Windfury Totem and notices the weapon buff has been applied.
* Shaman drops Grace of Air Totem. Now group members are under the effects of both Windfury Totem and Grace of Air Totem (i.e. they are totem twisting).
* Once the weapon buff is about to expire, the Shaman redrops the Windfury Totem. Rinse and repeat.


Totem twisting is most trustworthy to an enhancement shaman since the elemental and restoration ones have a casting time and will not be able to time the twisting properly. Even so, the enhancement shaman will notice a slight loss in DPS since the act of dropping totems resets the swing timer thus making you hit less. Still, the group will experience more DPS if it contain at least 2 melee/1 melee 1 hunter.
