How to use well totems ?
is it possible to have different totems at the same time ?
I tried to cast 2 totems, but I see only 1 at a time.

You have one earth totem, one fire totem, one water totem, and one air totem, after you have collected the totems from the shaman quests. You can only summon one totem using your magic.

For example: You can not summon and earthbind totem and a stoneskin totem. You can summon a stoneskin totem, a healing stream totem, and a searing totem. That way you have one type of totem for each.

If you are using a stoneskin totem, and a member from your party has fallen asleap in battle, you can summon a tremor totem to wake him up. When you summon the tremor totem, the stoneskin totem goes away.

since you can only use one totem, in a group, its smart to assign each shaman a different totem dpending what youll be up against

Sure, they have 5 hp each... but any time or attention the enemy devotes to killing totems, he is devoting to not killing you. Against most enemies, you are up close meleeing them, which means they can't exactly turn away to deal with totems. (Hunters especially, since they have to put up their bow when you start hitting them with your axe.) Against melee classes, chasing your totems means going away from you, allowing you to kite them. Plus, totems aren't the easiest things to target. Yes, totems rock even in PvP. To make things harder, drop totems and then maneuver yourself away from the totem drop point. That means that they must physically turn away from you to chase the totem. Advantage: you.

Not all of the totems have 5 hp. The earthclaw totem wihich taunts the enemies in the immediate area has around 50. Let me tell you that this totem will save your life more than anything you have.

The ability to kite is the true opportunity here. Most players are deathly afraid of totems (as they should be). Dropping a couple will sometimes distract a player enough that you can get away for a minute, or provide enought boost that they will be wasted.
The instant casting time of them is truly a godsend, w/o that, they would be a pain to bring up.

The 4 totems are types - each one has multiple sub totems, all of which have different charactoristics.
