placed correctly, totems can help in a number of ways, first, they can buy time. A turn destroying a totem is a turn not attacking you. I find this incredibly useful and i use this to the full extent. You can even make an enemy walk backwards to destroy it instead of advancing towards you.

If they are attacked , yes, they die quickly but a lot of times Ive had close battles midfield , had the death totems right behind my front lines and protected by tanks and so they work great as the catchment area is big enough to catch the enemy.

Shamans rock!

note: i personally wouldnt use that mod but only because i so enjoy thinking about where to place totems as part of my strategy in their unconstrained present state.
