'''Poison Cleansing Totem''' was highly useful against any creatures which poison consistently (such as an on-hit poison or an AoE one). It was slightly useful against creatures which have a poison spell, as you would not get poisoned enough to make this more useful than a specific poison-removing spell. It was completely useless against mobs which do not have a poison ability.

'''Undead''' are once-living creatures animated by spiritual or supernatural forces.{{Cite|MG|199}} The term undead refers to all creatures or entities that function normally despite having terminated life functions. Most commonly known as [[zombie]]s or [[ghost]]s, undead beings are most typically mindless, bloodthirsty fiends hostile toward any living thing that comes across their path.

The undead have appeared all throughout [[Azeroth]], most commonly in nature as [[Revenant]]s or [[wraith]]s. They were used as a combat tool during the [[First War]] when the [[Necrolytes]] of the [[Horde]] learned to animate corpses as [[The Dead|skeleton]] warriors in their fight against the [[Alliance]]. Later, the studies of the Necrolytes developed into [[Necromancy]], the form of magic used very heavily in the [[Third War]] when the [[Cult of the Damned]] spread the [[Plague of Undeath]] across [[Lordaeron]].

In modern times, "undead" refers primarily to either the [[Scourge]] or the [[Forsaken]], since nearly half of the [[human]] race have since become undead. However, Forsaken player characters and NPCs are for most intents and purposes considered to be [[Humanoid|"Humanoids"]] in World of Warcraft due to gameplay reasons and do not share all the characteristics of other undead. This is not the case according to the lore in other sources where Forsaken share all the characteristics of standard Undead.

For game balance, the Forsaken are registered as humanoids because, in a PvP setting, they would be massacred with Exorcism, Holy Wrath, Turn Undead, and Shackle Undead, but they would also be immune to other CC such as Polymorph and Fear. Forsaken were classified as undead in Beta, but it proved to be too problematic with PvP balance. Many Forsaken NPCs are also considered humanoid.

The more poison your team is fighting, the more useful this totem would be. However, it was possible to get poisoned so much that the totem couldn't keep up. The totem would stack if different shaman drop them, since each one would pulse and remove poisons separately.
