Fire Nova Totem

Fire Nova Totem was a shaman offensive totem for the sole purpose to give out damage to the caster's enemies (mobs and players alike). With patch 3.3.0 it was replaced by the Shaman spell Fire Nova.

• The totem immediately drew aggro from mobs once it is put on the ground, causing them to attack and destroy often before it does any damage. Patch 3.0.8 removed this threat generation.
• In addition to increased damage, the Improved Fire Nova Totem talent would give it a 50 or 100% chance to stun mobs damaged by its blast for 2 seconds.
• Useless against high Fire resistant players/mobs.
• Second longest cooldown for a totem (if we exclude the Mana Tide Totem talent spell).

This totem could be situationally useful in PvP. It could even be used in 1v1 PvP as a way to burst DPS.

There was however a strategy you could follow without said talent against crowds of low (or not so low) level mobs, dropping a Stoneclaw Totem and drawing aggro from you/your mates it was possible to release a Fire Nova Totem without it claiming the attention, you could even use a Magma Totem thereafter in order to finish off remaining mobs.
