Notes

Stoneskin Totem is an Earth totem, and thus cannot be used at the same time as another earth totem. Like most shaman totems it only has 5 hit points and is easily targeted and destroyed.

The bonus armor stacks with a Paladin's Devotion Aura.

Talent improvement

• Guardian Totems increases the bonus armor granted by 20%.

• Totemic Focus reduces the casting cost of the totem by 25%. Mental Quickness reduces the casting cost by 6%.

Tips and tactics

The bonus armor from Stoneskin Totem will reduce the damage taken by a tank in a group, increasing his survivability and reducing the amount of healing required.
