Shaman totem tick bug
Posted: 11 Jan 2013, 14:22
Totems when placed down should tick instantly. This could mean instant fear 'dispell' from party members with tremor, 1 sec gcd poison dispell from party members/self with poison cleansing, instant slow on druid with earth bind etc. Some of them might be key components in certain arena situations.
I'm new to the server so I have no idea if issues like this will be dealt by, but wanted to make this thread anyway.
Cheers
edit: I tried my best to google the evidence for it:
http://www.wowwiki.com/Tremor_Totem
"This totem will immediately remove any applicable ailments when it is first down, then subsequently attempt to remove fear/sleep/charm effects every 3 seconds. " (not really tbc though)

"Wasn't always perfect since it ticks only every 5 seconds but if you happen to be outside of fear range you can run in and stomp it - the first tick always happens on the totem cast..." (2007/04/17)
http://www.wowwiki.com/Earthbind_Totem
"as well as just before your enemy is about to run away. It takes a second to have its first effect, so you should drop it a couple seconds before you need it for best effect" and with the hotfix "(2009-04-17): "Earthen Power will now properly be applied on the first pulse of an Earthbind Totem."
Can't find a single site about the poison cleansing but it's the same deal.
