Mana Tide Totem is a Restoration shaman totem that increases the mana regeneration of party and raid members within 10 yards by 100%.

Tips and tactics[]

  • If you know a fight will last four minutes or more, using Mana Tide Totem early will let you use it again a second time. It is generally a good idea to use the totem when you are around 70% mana, rather than waiting.
  • The short cooldown means you can use Mana Tide on trash pulls to reduce the need for drinking, and still have it ready again before the next boss fight.
  • When using Mana Tide Totem in a raid, try to ensure that the other healers will be in range of it as its range is a mere 10 yards.

Trivia[]

Wavestorm Totem

Although this is a "Wavestorm Totem" in the TCG, the artwork is used to represent a Mana Tide Totem in Hearthstone.

  • Mana Tide Totem appears as a rare card for the Shaman class in Hearthstone. The flavor text reads: "It is said that some shaman can say "Floatin' totem" 10 times, fast."
  • Mana Tide Totem has had its functionality changed several times throughout the course of the game. In the original World of Warcraft, it had three ranks, returning at a fixed amount of mana at each rank. In The Burning Crusade, it was redesigned to restore a percentage of maximum mana and consolidated into a single rank. In Cataclysm, it was changed to increase spirit, meaning that non-healers would no longer gain any mana from the totem. This meant that in a normal five man group, the casting shaman will be the only one to benefit. In raids, however, the totem will restore mana to every healer, rather than just those in the shaman's group.
