Totem Ground

Shaman · derived spell group · difficulty Needs testing · strength Needs testing

Totem Ground is a derived Shaman package on the Azeroth Survivors build guide. The core cards are real extracted spells: Searing Totem, Magma Totem, Lightning Shield, Chain Lightning. We did not invent their damage or cooldowns. We also did not run this list to a 15:00 clear, so difficulty and strength stay Needs testing.

Shaman is the only class whose extracted kit includes Totem (summon) spells. Chain Lightning is the listed AOE chain. That sentence is a count from the class file, not a review.

Shaman starts with Lightning Bolt and unlocks Ghost Wolf at level 5. Drafting still offers three cards per level — you will not see all four cores at once. Off-class spells do not appear; passives do. Read the full kit on the Shaman class page.
