How to Use Shockwave Totem Effectively

Practical tips you won't find on the tooltip

🌊

AoE Clearing

Invest in Area of Effect to cover more ground. Excellent for map clearing and handling packs efficiently.

🗿

Totem Strategy

Totems use your offensive stats but act independently. You can dodge boss mechanics while your totems deal damage.

Duration Matters

Duration scaling extends effect uptime. Less recasting = more time dealing damage. Invest in skill duration passives.
