Totems really lack in damage, not having any synergy with lightning damage or any stats related to building the character, makes this specc really lack. Shaman has 0 reason to use any totems if you use a melee build. If storm totem didnt shock it would be totally useless as it has 0 damage output.
Are you scaling minion damage? Or looking for ‘More’ on your skill trees?
Totally wrong mentality, why would a shaman ever focus on that? they should scale with the shamans desired stats. Shamans stat focus are spread so thin.
What do you mean? Shaman has multiple totem synergies just for having any active. Not to mention the ones that scale with the amount of active totems you have.
I’m currently playing a melee physical/lighting 2-handed shaman and I disagree entirely with your claims.
You asked how to scale totem damage, I answered.
Totems are a minion - focus on Minion damage.
The word ‘More’ acts like a multiplier. So anywhere in your skill tree with ‘More’ damage you want to prioritize that over increased damage.
Good Luck!
