If they don't target the totem, well then you get the benefits from it, whether it be healing all units in the area, or damaging all enemies. Win-Win.

In addition, they have a direct damage spell that heals all your units given you strike down on a living humanoid type mob. Last but not least - low reload makes the shaman useful just about every round. Good initiative, good hitpoints, etc. Shaman rule.

Out of curiosity, what do you do when an enemy shaman drops a totem on your squad?

Shamans are usually dead by the time it's their turn
