Tips
- Sentry Totem is entirely situational; it is not generally a skill you need to hotkey. Shamans can place Sentry Totems at spawn points to monitor the respawning of an NPC or mob and it can also be used as an early warning system during raids.
- In prior patches, Shamans used to be able to hover indefinitely by swapping view to an already placed Sentry Totem. This would have the added benefit of "restarting" the shaman's fall from that point, so by clever use of changing view points, a shaman could have survived impossible falls. This has been fixed, however, and the shaman will continue to fall even if the Sentry Totem is selected.
