Deployment range for totems

I just finished a storm totem/wind devil druid at level 85, and a warder with wendigo tote,.

Both are fun to play, but there is one thing that breaks comboat flow for both: the short deployment range for both totems. You can deploy them in what feels like 2 or 3 meters from your characters, which is incredibly easy to miss. And if you do miss, the character stops and runs into the direction to cast the totem. Especially in heavy combat this often leads to dangerous situation, as the margin of error is very small.

Whats more, a longer deployment range would increase the tactical use and allow you to cast the totems ahead of you when running or circling.

Agree with this. That’s why I stopped using Storm Totem on my Druid, along with non-impressive damage. Besides, when you have to deploy it while being so close to monsters it feels like you are wasting time/turn. You could just start bashing them and debuffing, instead you waste time to deploy it and then some time for it to start up.
