Mana Tide Totem Mana Tide Totem

Shaman · Restoration · Row 4 of 7 · Single rank
Changed from Classic Active ability

Mana Tide Totem sits in row 4 of the Shaman Restoration tree. A talent tree is simply the grid of talents for one class role. It costs just one point. So the only question is whether opening its row fits your build.

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

10 Mana | Instant | 5 min cooldown

What Mana Tide Totem 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: Summons a Mana Tide Totem with 5 health at the feet of the caster for 12 sec that restores 88 mana every 3 seconds to group members within 30 yards.

How to reach Mana Tide Totem

Row 4 opens after you spend 15 points in the earlier Restoration rows. Level 25 is the earliest you can pick up Mana Tide Totem.

Is Mana Tide Totem worth the points?

One point gives you the full effect. The real cost is opening row 4. That is 15 points in the rows above, so take it when the talent suits your build.
