Targeting and features

Shift: Windwall Totem → Otherwise: Grounding Totem

Modifier

Requirements

  • Learned Windwall Totem; the source records its first rank at level 36. Each higher rank must be learned separately.
  • Learned Grounding Totem; the source records its first rank at level 30. Each higher rank must be learned separately.
  • Requirements apply to the branch you choose; other unlearned modifier branches do not prevent use of an available action.

Known limitations

  • Research-supported design for beta 1.60.1.70009; no recorded in-client macro tests. English spell names require localization on other clients.
  • Modifier keybindings can intercept the combination. Spell selection is manual; an unlearned or unavailable modifier action does not fall back to the default spell.
  • Learn and choose each totem separately. The extraction does not fully document elemental totem quest/item prerequisites; verify them in your current client. Placement and effect radius depend on your position and the actual spell.
  • Grounding does not redirect area-of-effect spells. Neither branch detects incoming spells, projectiles or damage automatically.

Notes

  • Spell IDs identify the sourced first-rank reference; unranked names request the learned rank selected by the client. A spellbook tab is not a specialization lock.
  • Talent and level records are provisional beta extraction, not proof of spell acquisition.
  • Spell and talent data attribution: Chris Baldwin / Talents Forever, CC BY 4.0. Icon artwork remains Blizzard property; research does not imply affiliation.
