this says that poison arrow doesn't work with ranged totem. so if that's what you have linked, try another. remember that the ranged totem isn't going to show up in the skills list. instead you will see the icon of whatever skill you have linked to the totem. if you link cold shot and ranged totem, the icon will show cold shot (marked with a T)

I've never tried determination. discipline is good if you want to improve your energy shield. flame totem is is decent once you level it up 5+. rejuvenation totem is ok for melee types but you probably wont need it. the auras hold mana in reserve while they are turned on.

Ok thank you for that analysis, so when I use that skill the totem goes up? kind of stupid but i'll try it. I have it narrowed down to flame totem/discipline, not sure which to use.

EDITED...

Still doesn't work even with a linked skill, I tried using arc but it just casts that spell. The only thing i can think of is that it has to be on the Bow itself.
