Searing Totem

[Scorpyon]

Played Onyxias Lair today and the following questions arose which were debated:

1 - On the Searing Totem, it says the target hero/ally takes 1 dmg each turn. Does this mean each player's turn or the turn of the shaman who placed it? - so for 5 vs Onyxia, would this be 5 dmg per round unless totem is destroyed?

2 - Although a shaman can only play 1 totem at a time, if there are multiple shamans, can they all play the same totem each - hence say multiple Searing Totem's from multiple players?

So if both of those are true, that would mean 5 damage per player per turn, and hence 75 damage before Onyxia gets a 2nd go?? She would be on 25 health on the second round, at stage 3 already.

true to both of them i guess but i don't think onyxia will be defeated that easily

Meh - she was down to level 3 in 4 turns :-)

1. At the Start of every players turn, the totem will do it's damage. So in a 5 man Group, you could possibly do 6 damage before it is that shamans turn again.

2. A single shaman can have multiple totems out, just not of the same kind. IE Healing Stream Totem and Searing Totems can be out at the same time, but you can not have 2 Searing totems in play.

And if you have more than one Shaman in the group, each can have their own copies of each totems in play.

So yes, you can have 5 shaman and each can have their own Searing Totem in play. Since they are 2 resource, Ony will have at least two turns and thus have options to take care of them.
