This totem is a good one to use when you pull multiple mobs, but you are not acting as the main tank. Over time, it will do more damage than the FIre Nova totem. You may want to consider dropping the Stoneclaw totem with this one so that it is not destroyed prematurely.

If you are tanking and need to pull aggro, drop the Fire Nova Totem first, then drop the Magma Totem after the Fire Nova Totem fires off and is on cooldown. Again, be sure to lead with the Stoneclaw totem so that your fire totems are not destroyed first.

A good use for this totem is pvp.
In WSG, you can set it in the tunnel so stealthed rogues will be hit by it if they try to go through.
Set a sentry totem up with it and you have a warning system.

Does anyone know the scaling of this totem?

This totem (or possibly Fire Nova) is essential for fights against mobs that summon low-HP adds (like Silithid Swarmers in the Barrens) to just poke at you and delay spellcasting and channelling to destruction. Just plonk this totem down and watch all the little buggies go away.

Well, since the talent for lowering threat was removed, I expect this totem to have an added side effect/rework, to make it worthwhile. This way, it only lasts a few seconds before getting destroyed.

Goodies! This totem had its damage increased by more than 100% (deals about 371 base damage on tick) and its threat component has been completely removed.

Now it's more like Blizzard or Hurricane in terms of damage, but for a much lower cost, and NOT channeled, so you can do whatever you want in the process.

On the downside, in PvP it can still be simply destroyed.

Allright so I took a run in Stockade on the PTR from the start to the end of the left wing (to avoid too much stun). When I had all the mobs with me, Magma totem did hit for 667 ON THEM ALL. And we're talking.. around 60 mobs? So no reduction at all. Crit for 1400. Did around 16k dps. Me like.

Or massive AoE farm with mobs of 10 about level 73 and use a trinket that consecrates... like the one recieved from the world event from argent crusade just before the xpac came out... that would be magic damage by you and tags the group. Use the totem, consecrate trinket and just heal. At rested xp, each kill gives 1400xp and with 10 of them, that's 14000xp a min and with epic flyer you can get to next mob fast. Really easy to just grind 600,000+xp an hour.

I'm also resto 79 though with 1500healing. Just let the totem kill them and heal yourself!

As of 3.0.9, this no longer causes threat and is buffed in damage-output, making it a much more viable option.

Judging by the comments on this totem and Searing Totem, it seems that Magma Totem is better DPS for single target ( and definitely groups ) than Searing Totem. This of course assumes that you are grouping with another shaman who is using FT totem or ToW

At 2039 self buffed bonus damage (with fish feast still active and imp. elemental weapons 3/3) this was doing 495(lowest) to 530-ish(highest) normal ticks. And about 1050-ish crits.

Not a bad choice when in a raid and totem of wrath is taken care of and there's no need for a magma totem.

Let's do some quick math....

Magma Totem: (costs 27% of base mana)
371 dmg every 2 sec (to all targets in within 8 yards) for 20 sec, totaling 3710 dmg per target per 20 sec, or 11130 dmg over 60 sec (185.5 dps, assuming no down-time)

Searing Totem: (costs 7% of base mana)
dmg every 2 sec (to a single target within 20 yards) for 60 sec, totaling dmg.

Now, assuming your Spell Power is at least 1603 (which is a safe assumption for a lvl 80 shaman), Searing Totem will put out more single-target damage. Additionally, you only use 7% of your base mana to pop down a Searing Totem, and it's there for a whole minute. To keep a Magma Totem up for a minute, you'd have to pop it down 3 times, using 81% of your base mana.

Let's do some multi-target math now, and ignore mana costs for the time being.

Magma Totem will do damage over 60 seconds.
Searing Totem will still do damage to one target over 60 seconds.
Assuming all targets stay alive and in range of the totem (in order to take damage), Magma Totem will do more total damage on groups of 2 or more unless you have at least 3838 spell power (which is not a safe assumption for a lvl 80 shaman). With 3 mobs in your target group, 150592 SP would be required for Searing Totem to keep up with Magma Totem's damage. The rubber hits the road when you think about the "staying alive and in range" assumption.

I will not attempt to claim which totem is "better," I simply seek to lay out the facts.
Magma Totem is well-suited for groups in close-range, but costs much more mana and doesn't last as long. This may mean questing and farming are good situations in which to use this totem.
Searing totem does excellent damage for less mana and for a longer duration, but only hits a single target. This may be a better choice for longer fights, where the target moves around much, except perhaps raid boss fights if you're specced for Elemental Combat, in which case Totem of Wrath is a common choice for fire totem.

There you have it. The numbers have been presented to you. Now, may you seek further guidance from those who aided you in your Call of Fire in your quest to master the shamanistic way of fire.

I don't know if this still works, but the best use of this totem is/was:

I hadn't had the chance to test it properly, but does the Magma Totem ticks interrupt flag tapping in battlegrounds? I tested it in a dual, my priest mate channeled Hymn of Hope and lost channeling time. I just don't know if its the same mechanic in PvP.

For effects related to this totem, see Totem de Magma Passivo (the trigger which procs an AoE every 2 seconds) and Totem de Magma (the AoE).

Is a Magma Totem still a good way to unstealth rogues and kitties?

Comentado por 973043

A must if you wanna sit down and have a picnic at farms in AB and in need of some BBQ chicken. Drop one of those and problem solved! (less than 2 sec respawn on chickens).

Magma Totem is only worth using for its damage on 7 or more targets. Below that, you're better off using your other AE abilities.

Comentado por 997771

Whether or not to use Totem de Magma in an AoE situation is dependent on several factors.

For example, if you are an Elemental Shaman, the DPCT (Damage per cast time) of Totem de Magma is less than the DPCT of on fewer than 7 targets. So if you are in the middle of combat, and all of a sudden a few adds show up, it's not worth dropping this totem for less than 7 targets, since immediately spamming would be more effective.

On the other hand, Totem de Magma lasts for 60 seconds, and so you could of course cast it *BEFORE* combat begins (thus saving an in-combat GCD for something more useful) and use the Projeção Totêmica talent to place the totem over group of targets, isince that ability is off the GCD. A useful combination of abilities at the beginning of most multi-target pulls.

The same holds true for Enhancement Shamans, who would do better to spread the DoT with Açoite de Lava, and use on cooldown when adds numbering fewer that 6 or 7 show up mid-combat, but still using Totem de Magma and Projeção Totêmica before combat starts on AoE pulls.

So by accident I used magma totem on my lvl 100 shaman while farming the mount in karazhan. NEVER do it guys, it made the boss imposible to loot and i lost my chance of the week with one character. Blizzard better fixes this stupidity, it makes no sense that it works in such way.

Does anyone know the sound file name of this totem?

I would be really grateful if someone knows how to find it and tells me the file name and, ideally, location on disk. Thanks.
