Grounding totem

[trouble 0]

Hey

I´m very much in doubt. Is grounding totem supposed to grab Polymorph?

[Asher86 1]

yes should defend you from pholymorph

[trouble 0]

Summons a Grounding Totem with 5 health at the feet of the caster that will redirect one harmful spell cast on a nearby party member to itself every 10 seconds. Will not redirect area of effect spells. Lasts 45 sec.

"One HARMFUL spell" ...

How much damage does Polymorph do again?  Take your time, I'll wait while you count to ZERO.

If it doesn't damage you, it's not a "harmful" spell ... right?

Grounding totem works fine on Anathema, i would assume it works on Elysium too.  

I made this chart for you.  The totem must be in range of you, and in range of the caster for it to function successfully.  Having T1 3 set, or the talent helps out.   Fire protection and windwall totem only need to be in range of you.

you must be in range and see the grounding buff ofc. if you drop totem and run 40 yards away you cannot pretnd it ground pholy. lol

Your post is cancer.  You are a rude, and wrong at the same time.  If you plan on being rude, at least be correct about it.

 

Grounding does consume a polymorph.  It consumes fear and other direct CC as well.  It wont consume a AOE snare, Fear, or anothing of that sort.  It consumes a direct cast hostile spell.  Polymorph is hostile.  

 

Take your time, I'll wait while you read this and get butt-flustered at your own STUPIDITY.

What happened is probably that another harmful spell which didnt destroy the grounding totem (counterspell from mage is the best guess, but DoTs get eaten too without destroying the totem) was eaten by the grounding totem and now it still stands around but needs 15 (?) seconds to recharge and be ready again.

the guy you quoted has chars around lv30 for the most part. doesnt seem to have a clue.

to be sure i stested with a friend of mine in game. yes grounding totem eat pholy.

HARMFUL means something is NOT A BUFF: pholy appear in debuff slots so is HARMFUL (thats why is a CC) same like FEAR.

Grounding should be capable of redirecting Polymorph. 

[suhail1200 3]

Yes grounding should be taken up by a polymorph along with any other CC may it be fear , dots , bolts , but does it take up a counterspell silence of a mage? Or silence of a shadowpriest?

U must be in range of the totem for it to consume cc.

Grounding totem will get poly.  However if you have high ping grounding totem can be sketchy sometimes in my experience.
