Totems are devices (normally appearing as intricately carved staffs/statues) employed by magic-using monsters in the Diablo franchise to various AoE effects. They are treated as monsters in the gameplay. They are temporary, and can be destroyed before they expire.
Types[]
- Burning Totems: applies an AoE Burn around itself. It has an added effect of driving monsters within its range into a frenzy. It is used by Moon Clan Khazra Shamans.
- Chilling Totems: apply chill and damage over time around itself. Monsters within its range temporarily gain chilling touch that lasts for some seconds after leaving the totem's range. It is used by Ice Clan Khazra Shamans.
- Constraint Totems: apply Slow to player within its range; used by Fetish Painmenders.
- Fury Totems: also called Enhancement Totems. They drive monsters (apart from the caster) within its range into a frenzy. It is used by Chieftain Ongori.
- Lightning Totems: apply lightning damage to players within its range; used by Fetish Painmenders.
- Serpent Totems: take the form of spectral cobra heads that fire poison bolts at the player. Unlike other totems, serpent Totem is a monster trait, and has a chance to be summoned by any Elite Monster.
- Shield Totems: also called Protective Totems. They apply percentage damage reduction to monsters within its range; used by Chieftain Ongori and Fetish Painmenders.
Another variant is the petrifying totems used by Gebdu and Gorgothra.
