As long as people are decursing the main tank, the amount of single target damage that he does with his arcane explosions is kind of pitiful so it was pretty easy to keep you healed without taxing my mana pool. This was one boss fight where Silverflail never ran out of mana the whole way while I kept my party and nearby tanks at full life as well as I could.

It's not critical but I want more. It is more critical for others than for the MT though. If you get rogues enough arcane resist they can go in there and do more damage and not be a healer burden and we can kill him faster which means less chance of him blinking somewhere and wiping out the DPS we need to take him down in a timely fashion. The protecting warriors will be better able to drag him back without getting munched. And again some of the curse blasts were reduced from 1600-1800 to 800-900 or just 1400. The unresisted blasts are 800-900 damage I was taking those down to 400-700 on a semi-regular basis. But if you don't have to heal me at all that does mean that you will have mana to prayer of healing or heal the people who got blinked onto after I lock him back down. Healing someone before the MT relocks was part of the problems we had as well because that meant he would just turn and hit the healers. It's a rough thing. But when the majority of his damage is arcane with some physical, there is no reason to not stock up on more arcane resistance.
