For Mother… Just make sure you’re up to about 370 s.resist buffed. Ideally, you’d have the crafted pants, too.

Here’s another area where it pays to not be stingy – get your gear to the point that you don’t need s.resist enchants, and put the USUAL enchants instead. (Ex: don’t get the s.resist patch for your legs, get a golden spellthread.) Your stats will take enough of a hit with the replaced gear – don’t make it worse by having less-than optimal enchants/add-ons.

Mother is an easy fight – provided people don’t kill themselves. There are a number of add-ons (like EasyMother) that help you know what direction to run when you get the Fatal Attraction debuff, but you really don’t need them.

What you DO need is a quick way to heal yourself as much as possible, so that if your fellow healers are on GCD or just don’t notice you fast enough, you keep yourself alive. A nice button mashing “emergency” macro does the trick for me:

#showtooltip
/cast [target=player] Power Word:shield;
/cast Prayer of Mending;
/use Super Rejuvenation Potion;
/cast Renew;
/use Battlemaster’s Perseverance;
/cast Circle of Healing;
/use Major Healthstone;

Etc. (I’m not able to check my macros right now, so please forgive me if the syntax is off; I’m sure you get the idea. There are a million things you can use for emergencies – Nightmare seeds, Fel Blossoms, trinkets… think outside the box, macro them ALL to the same button (might want to put a “when in combat” modifier so you don’t blow your stuff…) and mash it while you run. No thinking required, and everyone is left wondering how you survived. Works great for other fights, too.)

Tips:
AoE healing is typically Win, but watch who gets the debuff, and where they run – if they run towards your mage corps, get ready to toss a few CoH’s that way. Don’t forget your tank – random spikes are not uncommon.

Super Rejuv > Super health or Super mana. You’ll need the mana, and you’ll probably need the health. Just be prepared, and bring at least 5 with you.

Mother has several auras throughout the fight. The one you want to watch for is the one that increases shadow damage (the icon is a yellow gem) – Save your fiend for then for max return. DO NOT burn your fiend on the one that increases holy damage!

Lots of Troll love,

Glad to see that PoH from the IDS priest advice helped.

If you guys are low on Heart of Darkness, I am pretty sure we still have a lot of extra ones for sale if you ever need any.
