Totemic Focus Totemic Focus

Shaman · Restoration · Row 1 of 7 · 5 ranks
Changed from Classic

Totemic Focus sits in row 1 of the Shaman Restoration tree. A talent tree is simply the grid of talents for one class role. It can take up to 5 points. Max it fully, or put in a few points just to open the rows below.

Changed from Classic. This talent now works differently than in Classic, so read the ranks below before you spend any points.

What Totemic Focus does at each rank

A rank is one level of a talent. Every rank makes the effect a bit stronger. The list below uses the exact wording from the beta client, word for word.

  1. Rank 1: Reduces the Mana cost of your totems and any spells that summon or move them by 5%.
  2. Rank 2: Reduces the Mana cost of your totems and any spells that summon or move them by 10%.
  3. Rank 3: Reduces the Mana cost of your totems and any spells that summon or move them by 15%.
  4. Rank 4: Reduces the Mana cost of your totems and any spells that summon or move them by 20%.
  5. Rank 5: Reduces the Mana cost of your totems and any spells that summon or move them by 25%.

How to reach Totemic Focus

Row 1 opens after you spend 0 points in the earlier Restoration rows. Level 10 is the earliest you can pick up Totemic Focus.

Is Totemic Focus worth the points?

Every rank makes the effect stronger, so putting in a few points while leveling is totally fine. Max it when the final rank is the heart of your endgame build. And if you only need it as a stepping stone, no shame in stopping early.
