1. Totems should ignore the walls. They are auras and therefore do not need the line of sight for its effect.

[quote][quote]What happens if Grounding Totem is not in line of sight to someone casting a spell at the Shaman/whoever in party?

Will the spell not get redirected, or go through wall... or totem will just get destroyed?

Thanks in advance.

[b]It doesn't have to be in LOS of the enemy spellcaster, as long as the shaman has the buff from the totem. The offensive spellcast will shoot through the wall to the totem, destroying it.[/b][/quote]

[quote]Tremor, Healing stream, Stoneskin- they're all auras.
LoS does not apply to auras. [/quote]

[quote]Tremor is already a drop and forget aoe fear dispel, requiring no gcds to cleanse any fears as long as it's up. If it gets killed, then it's still better than other dispels for breaking fear considering when you drop it [b]you don't need los[/b] and it's aoe.

2. Totems are getting into the walls when you cast near to them and, therefore, totems immortals
3. Grounding Totem is eating friend's penance and Dispel of priests don't destroy it

Regards and thanks :)
