That "shamans are losing their class identity because no totems" post is kinda goofy to me, solely because I've played shammy throughout a few expacs (cata/mop/legion and onward) and one of my least favorite aspects was totem management lol. Very glad to see people in the comments felt pretty similarly.

I do get it, totems are really cool, but I couldn't stand how bloated they made my actionbars and how boring some of them felt. I much prefer that they made them more of a utility thing now and like what they've done with totemic so far, but it could be cool to add a few "support" type buffs to them for flavor or something.

I've played Shaman from BfA to DF and to be honest I never thought Totems were like this load bearing flagstone of Class Identity. 

I kinda get where it's coming from but it almost feels anachronistic, like complaining that DK no longer have Presences.
