Saw thread about opening up a help ticket after purchasing a Shaman who does not have any totems. No group want me to be a part of their dungeons or raid without totems. It's like being a hunter with no ammo and no pet. Its not easy as just going to a trainer and seeing if you can get a replacement totem or even a temporary ones. As of now the entire process feel like a waste of time and money.
Btw once you buy any Relic with emblem, you will be able to use totems
On those relic's tooltip you can read: "Counts as an Air, Earth, Fire, and Water totem."
Getting emblems with only 2-3 spells that work without totems/relic is like a level 30 against a 60 on the battlefield. I have opened up a GM ticket a day ago and unfortunately no reply.
