#425 ALL shaman totems are eating hunter traps, not just grounding.

Status: Awaiting review · Area: Classes & Specs · Shaman

Any shaman totem can destroy hunter traps safely, not just Grounding Totem, which reduces hunter trap use.

Current behavior

Placing any hunter trap (frost, freezing, immolate) accessible in the beta on top of any totem (tested all totems), or having any totem placed on top of the trap, will cause the totem to read "Immune", survive (unlike grounding which gets consumed), and the hunter trap will be destroyed safely so the shaman can avoid it.

Expected behavior

Only grounding totem is designed to eat traps to my knowledge, or at least this applies to freezing trap. I am not 100% sure if it is also meant to eat triggered immolates or freezing traps. If any totem can eat any trap, this somewhat invalidates the need for grounding totem, and in fact - these other totems are better than grounding totem for this purpose, because they are not destroyed / consumed the way grounding would be.

How to reproduce

1. Have a shaman hostile to the hunter place down any totem.
2. Have a hunter hostile to the shaman drop a trap on any totem.
I believe the order of 1 & 2 is also reversible.
3. Totem should read immune, and survive.
4. Hunter trap which is placed will trigger and dissappear.
