Once a totem is put down it cannot be moved, but a new totem can be used to replace it. A Shaman can use one totem of each element at any one time: Earth ( Nature-based spells), Fire ( Fire-based spells), Water (Water/ Frost-based spells) and Air (Nature-based spells).

Totems are unique to the Shaman, and must be obtained by completing certain quests. Shamanistic cultures outside those of the Horde and Draenei also possess the ability use totems in battle. Some totems possess destructive power while others aid and assist allies. Characterized by their immobility and area of effect, the totems embody the Shaman's mastery over the elements.

A totem is the primary tool used by a Shaman as an instrument of war.
