Thoughts on Majordomo Executus

[Soraia]

Disclaimer: I started a thread on the Basin forums to ask our members on Tichondrius for advice. The Basin on Tichondrius has successfully taken down Majordomo in the past and successfully downed Ragnaros for the first time on Friday, 14 October. I figured if I should ask anyone, it's them. :)

Anyway, you may want to check out that thread for more information.

The healers are sheepable and must be kept sheeped at all times, although apparently they can still cast a reflective shield on themselves WHILE THEY'RE SHEEPED.  Haxx!  This will result in a Mage sheeping themselves when casting it on a shielded healer.

CTRA (or maybe it was someone else with a mod) pops up saying '5 seconds until Power(s)' or that sort of thing. JaduL of the Basin suggests resheeping targets when this goes off. I might suggest a periodic fifteen second or so resheep anyway just to be safe.

We had a little talk in Healerchat after our wipes.  Quite a few of us bought the farm while still having a significant chunk of mana left because of Domo himself running over and smacking us down.  Takes only 2 hits to kill a Priest.

I avoided being seriously visited by Domo until the very end in the second attempt last night. (Although I was looking at 142 health at one point.) In retrospect, I think I've had more issues with roaming priests than with Domo himself.

Anyhow, from my perspective (since I'm really only aware of about half of what's going on), Domo prevented me from doing my job three times.  This isn't a complaint post, it's a "what can we do to stop this" post.  I don't know if this was the only major problem during the Domo fights or not; I'm just posting what I saw as the healers' largest obstacle.

For a more general issue: Roamers are bad for the healers, be they warriors, priests, or Domo.

No point in worrying about mana efficiency if we keep dying.

True. We'll need to worry about this sooner or later though...

It might be a good idea for everyone to get a high Stamina gear set and switch into that for Domo. It may cost us mana but a dead Priest costs us even more.

So I'm thinking maybe we assign a hunter to the main tank who can try to yank Domo back whenever he bolts free?  Did we try that last night?

I like Legedi's suggestion for two hunters personally.
