You should be able to change a totem or a set of totems while in combat

When in combat you are unable to change a totem to another totem and you can't change to another totem set. Same in 10 and 25 man raid content and 5 mans as well.

Is this supposed to work, actually?
I have no shaman myself, but i wouldn't be surprised if Blizzard wouldn't let you change it in combat.

On that note, Bartender just allows you to move the default totem bar around, it doesn't really change anything that would stop that functionality.

Did you test it without Bartender at all?

The totem bar works fine without bartender (4.4.0) enabled being able to change the totems in the bar while in combat.

With bartender enabled combat disables the ability to change the totem in each slot so you can only cast the 4 that were in the bar when you entered combat.

At a guess it looks like the code to lock down the bartender options etc in combat is inadvertently locking up the totem bar as well.

When using Totem Bar in the default Blizzard UI you can change a totem in combat or switch to another totem set that you set before combat.

I was just about to mention the same thing.

Using the blizzard bar you get a sort of drop down list that you click and the totems for each school are there. you can pick one here and it replaces the one on the actual bar. This works fine OOC as mentioned however as soon as your in combat its totally locked down.

I tried it without Bartender and it works, also tried it with just bartender running and i have the same problem. I've heard from a guildie that Dominos works fine but with many alts and the bars being fine in every other way seems silly for me to jump to that.

If it helps some of the EM's i was about to pull out are....

Any updates to fix this problem?

I'm getting the same behavior as noted below. So long as you don't try to change any of the totem bar items or switch totem bars during combat it will continue working as intended out of combat. But if you try to switch a totem on the bar or switch to a different bar during combat it won't work, and then when out of combat the bar is "stuck" requiring a UI reload to get back functionality. The default Blizzard UI for the totem bar allows for switching totem bars in combat as well as switching individual totems in a bar during combat.

Here's the way totems work without bartender.

Now that 3.2 is out, Shamans can learn 3 new spells, in essence, three different customizable totem drop configurations that all go under the nifty Totem Bar, which is placed in the same area as a stance bar.

At any time during a battle, using regular Blizzard frames, you can use your bar to switch to a different configuration, and then drop the new configuration. After dropping your configuration, you decide that you only want to change one totem; you can do that without having to drop all four over again.

In Bartender it works the same way until you go into combat, then your totem bar freezes and only lets you drop the four totems you currently have set for that configuration. You can drop all four at once, or one at a time. But no more changing.

Maybe to clear some things...Blizzard allows shamans to choose out of three different configurations and to drop them all at once, or to singularly drop them. Bartender freezes this ability.

<3 Bartender! :)

Same problem as everyone else, here's a few snips from the taint log (can give you more if needed):

I pushed a potential fix for this, please test 4.4.0-1 Alpha. It works for me (tm)

However, alot of other addons can easily cause taint to those buttons, so please make sure to re-test with only Bartender active if the Alpha does NOT fix it for you.

That build seems to have fixed the problem! Job well done!

I downloaded the new alpha version... and it does not work still.

I'm running bartender4.4.4.0-1 alpha. Trying to also determine another bit of combat log errors I've been having so I went to crystalsong forest to log some combat. Figured I'd try the new update to see if I could switch totems in combat. I cannot.

Where would I find the specific error log to post for you?

Edit: currently testing this to see if it's an addon conflict.. The addon works.. by itself. But due to disability I use unit frame addons as well as a few others(visually impaired) and I'm trying to determine which one it is so you can possibly fix it.

its TipTac. Something with that tooltip addon is breaking the totem bar.

Too bad, I need to be able to move my tooltips with the layout i have going on. -_-

Edit again, I relogged my paladin. Her stance bar(auras) are completely missing.

I noticed myself that TinyTip (the tooltip addon i use) seems to break it too. I'll try to track down why tooltip addons cause that to happen.

Edit: I fixed TinyTip and notified the TipTac author what he needs to fix, so lets hope he does that fast.

When I saw the tooltip comment I thought of something.
I have Bartender's Button Tooltip option on "Disabled in Combat".
I changed this back to "Enabled" and huzzah, my Totem Bar is working again.
Switched it back to "Disabled in Combat" and the Totem tooltips still appear (regular bar tooltips are disabled in combat as intended) and the Totem Bar still works properly in-combat.
