We're doing well at limiting the nova to one tick; is it worth taking additional steps to reduce knockback (and cut out that first tick)?
I've got a scheme in mind using a second Earthshield (first being on the tank, of course)+concentration aura to make one MD priest pushback-immune, and PW:S's from the non-MD priests on the other two MD priests right as the nova cooldown finishes to give them protection through at least one tick of the aura.
Does this sound like a good idea, or is this too much micromanagement focused on one area of the fight? We can deal with the odd first tick going off here and there. It's when we get 3+ groups smacked by nova and have to catch up quickly that things get dicey, especially if we get an encaps soon afterwards.
