Every week, WoW Insider brings you The Light and How to Swing It for holy, protection and retribution paladins. Protection specialist Matt Walsh spends most of his time receiving concussions for the benefit of 24 other people, obsessing over his hair (a blood elf racial!), and maintaining the tankadin-focused blog Righteous Defense.

Here we are at Majordomo Staghelm, the last boss before Ragnaros himself. The final obstacle. As a member of the Horde, I don’t really know much of Fandral Staghelm and can’t enjoy the animosity he inspires in our leonine rivals. However, I imagine they’re feeling the same satisfaction with this kill that I’ll likely be feeling in the imminent future when Garrosh finally «goes crazy» and becomes a raid boss.

That said, Majordomo Staghelm is not a particularly difficult fight to tank. At certain points, the damage is going to be coming hard and fast for the entire raid, and your healers are going to need any breathing room you can offer them. Like previous fights in the Firelands, the key is to break out your toolbox, dump all those cooldowns on the table, and toss them out at the proper times. You’ll also be able to engage in some gratuitous strutting, thanks to the raid cooldown you bring to the table.Continue reading The Light and How to Swing It: Tips for tanking Majordomo StaghelmFiled under: Paladin, (Paladin) The Light and How to Swing ItThe Light and How to Swing It: Tips for tanking Majordomo Staghelm originally appeared on WoW Insider on Fri, 26 Aug 2011 19:00:00 EST.
