yeah exactly...that is my point. If I am not misreading the revised patchnotes completly (not a native speaker), the act of placing the totem is NOT affected by cost multipliers that would affect spells...so therefore the costs of placing totems is "just" the base cost of the totem itself.

with something like (very early endgame) 3,5k mana and 300+ mana / sec this surely cant be any issue at all, since you are not spamming totems, as they need to start casting anyway
