Some bugs about Totems

[Tiquihit]

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

--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? Vorph on 2008/06/26 (Patch 2.4.2) --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. http://www.wowhead.com/spell=8177/grounding-totem#comments

--Tremor, Healing stream, Stoneskin- they're all auras. LoS does not apply to auras. [/quote] http://forums.hydramist.tv/showthread.php?5399-Totems-and-LoS

--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. http://www.arenajunkies.com/topic/149615-tremor-fix/pagest20

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

Regards and thanks :)

I just do not understand where is the problem and that the proposed fix? almost all spells of totems so ignore LOS (by attributes in DBC).

[Tiquihit]

For these totems do not ignore the line of sight --> Tremor (you have to cast it every time you step), Grounding (If a wall doesn't redirect anything) and Stoneclaw (Often gets into the wall and doesn't gives you the shield buff)

If you want I can do a video

2 current check "is spell positive" need additional check "m_caster->IsFriendlyTo(m_target)"

[Tiquihit]

want the video? or something?

player report 42 level ALIANCE Elemental Shaman :

i only learned 2 totems [Earth Totem] and [Fire Totem] but using this spell http://www.wowhead.com/spell=66842 [call of the elements] summoning all 4 totems. even if i learned only 2 of them..... tested and seen by myself :D

but this is strange. becouse i have seen HORDE player totems worked fine....

[rsa]

in last sources auto-summon not learned totems impossible. suppose problems with displaying spells in player spellbook (possible after GM learn/unlearn commands).

Another bug: Judgements of paladin shouldn't destroy grounding totem

Please, this is too important about shamans :S

[rsa]

any work on this issue has reason only after #770 finish.

[Tiquihit]

now we have dynamic vmaps, can be fixed? :D

[Xencha7]

Much time bug... we need it to play good :S

[Tiquihit]

Still bug:

1. Totems are getting into the walls when you cast near to them and, therefore, immortal totems.
2. Grounding Totem is eating friend's penance and Dispel (redirect, not in the totem) of priests don't destroy it.
3. Improved Devouring plague (http://www.wowhead.com/spell=63626/improved-devouring-plague) should destroy totems (not the dot, the inicial damage) but it shows inmune.
4. Grounding totem doesn't ignore LOS.

[rsa]

Grounding totem require some rewrite... After last commit, totems not may appears in wall/GO. Improved Devouring plague - also is DOT. need info source from off, where this need exclude from rules...

[Tiquihit]

With totems works fantastic, thanks!!

[Tiquihit]

In Ruins of Lordaeron arena, totems get into the tomb. The rest work perfectly.
