Totem of the Otter hatred? :(

    Wow...whoever got set to "fixing" the Totem of the Otter hates players (either that, or it's a Bug, hence my putting this here). Not only is it a full MINUTE between uses, not just 30 seconds, but if you merely click on it, rather than right-clicking and choosing "Use [before you drown, you fool! Muahahahahahahaha! >:->]", the thing starts its full minute "reset." :-/

    Has it always been this way and I've never noticed, or did someone just make it worse? :-/

    EDIT: Okay, I will say that clicking on it again will get it to near-instantly "kick in," which is pleasant. The rest of it is not. :-/

    I haven't noticed that. I set it same as Totem of Succulent, use next one when the in use on expires.

    I checked when I gamed today.

    cast time: 1.37 seconds
    recast time: 36.0 seconds

    Sorry, I'm singing along with Foghorn Leghorn cartoonie character today. Dodah !

    Thirty-six seconds! Better than mine; is there some ability or thingee that reduces the recast time? :eek:

    Pro-tip, buy or make a stack of 900 and just leave them on auto-consume! Never worry about drowning again! hehe

    Heh! Yeah, but there'd been a host of posts about bugs with auto-consume, like how it shuts off if you have the least reason for getting out of a zone, then never shuts back on again, or does for the wrong items, or whatever. I don't know if I can trust that again... :-/

    And besides, even with auto-consume, back in the day it would take 30 dang seconds to "recast," and like 29 seconds to drown... X-P

    who can only presume that some dev thought that was hilarious; I'm glad the recast was fixed, anyway

    The nice thing with auto-consuming them is their cast speed is instant when on auto consume.

    I've had a stack auto-consuming without it ever having issues since my very first run of Rosy Reverie In VoV, when I quickly found out my Merc did not in fact give water breathing. >.< Reinforced by healers zoning out while I was harvesting shinies in the final room of the Heroic versions and leaving me to drown!

    Ack! :-/

    I didn't know Mercs had weaknesses like that; usually, when I use Stealth/Invis or Otter Totems or whatever, my combat pets are presumed to also be Stealthed/breathing water/whatever. :-/
