Description

Current behaviour: When player cast Death Grip on shaman who has Grounding Totem, it will redirect it (as it should be) but it won't show Death Grip spell animation on totem

I tested it with other totems and Death Grip animation works on them but it does not on Grounding Totem.

Expected behaviour: When player cast Death Grip and his target has Grounding Totem, his Grounding Totem should show Death Grip animation.

Steps to reproduce the problem:

  1. Create 1 Dk and 1 Shaman.
  2. Cast Grounding Totem,
  3. Cast Death Grip on target with that totem
    (Result: No animation but effect itself works)

Branch(es): 3.3.5 (Confirmed)

Research direction

Start by reproducing the issue on the 3.3.5 branch using the listed Death Grip and Grounding Totem steps, then trace their spell handling and animation behavior. Done means the Grounding Totem displays the Death Grip animation when the spell is redirected, while the existing redirect effect remains intact.
