Majordomo Executus - Healing Mage PoV - Season of Discovery Molten Core Phase 4 WoW Classic - Heat 1

Hello everyone! This video is a non-narrated recording of the Majordomo Executus encounter from the Molten Core Raid done on Heat level 1 as a Healing Arcane Mage in Phase 4 of the World of Warcraft Classic Season of Discovery.
This vod is from our guild's first time defeating this boss, and I have not ever done this encounter previously. I definitely could have played better, and will next time now that I am more familiar with the damage pattern and overall mechanics. That being said, I thought that some people might want to see this video from a Healing Mage's point of view, and so I thought that I would upload it. I hope that you enjoy this video and find it useful in some way!
This fight was actually pretty fun, and I wish that I had unbooned / rebuffed for it. It's the first fight in MC on Heat 1 in which I felt like a Healing Mage could really stretch it's legs and start to pump some solid AoE Healing. I definitely don't do the most optimal rotation here, and needed 3 Innervates to remain mana-solvent, but it was still quite enjoyable to actually feel like there was constantly stuff that needed healing.

sorry bug you .. but any new updates on play style with new runes... do you precast barrage to get proc start off ?

[@SigsPlays]

No problem!
The playstyle is similar to how it was, but with Arcane Barrage now we can have a spell to cast while moving, or cast when we need really quick healing for our Beacon targets, or in situations where we would need to refresh Beacons before an Arcane Blast cast would finish.
A lot of people do also now run Rewind since it has been moved to the wrist slot, and Chronomatic Preservation is also very powerful on the boots. Some people run Balefire Bolt as well but I only do on some bosses where we either need more damage or if I don't need as much Mana for that fight.
I usually start most fights by trying to precast Regen / Mass Regen at least on the Tanks so that I can start the fight with some Beacons already on them, and then I hope that that procs a Missile Barrage or a Clearcasting for some extra damage or free mana to start the fight.
I hope that helps!

@@SigsPlays yes it does.. and you are the only reason i play healing mage ty

@@fg5332 My pleasure! Good luck out there =)

[@frozenpatato]

So you use both Regen AND mass regen runes? Depending on fights i guess?

[@SigsPlays]

Yup! It definitely depends on the fight though. On shorter fights where Mana is less of an issue I prefer to run Burnout on the Chest and then just use Mass Regen to maintain Beacons on the Tank Group/Groups. However, that gets to be very mana-intensive so on longer fights (like this one) I prefer to drop Burnout and use Regeneration to maintain a much longer-duration and more mana-efficient Beacon on the Tanks and also use single Regen for spot healing certain targets, since it takes a lot less mana than Mass Regen. Mass Regeneration is quite efficient if it hits all 5 targets, but sometimes due to group setup or fight positioning you can't hit all 5 targets with it, in which case single Regen is very useful to have for that as well. =)
