Abilities:
- Chains of Ice
- Death Coil
- Death Grip
- Frost Strike
- Icebound Fortitude
- Icy Touch
- Strangulate
General informations:
He's dangerous only if allowed to get in melee of the clothies. He's not a high priority target, and his DoT should be dispelled asap. Generally you can ignore him until the end of the fight. He's vulnerable to Disarm.
Defensive mechanics: He will cast Icebound Fortitude quite soon when focused, making himself immune to stuns.
Offensive mechanics: Generally he will use Icy Touch on his current target, and occasionally Icy Chains. Sometimes he will Death Grip his target which in that case should get the fuck away as soon as possible. If rooted / slowed he'll generally use Icy Touch and Death Coil on someone nearby.

Druid (Balance)
Abilities:
- Barkskin
- Cyclone
- Entangling Roots
- Faerie Fire
- Force of Nature
- Insect Swarm
- Moonfire
- Starfire
- Wrath
General informations: Pretty annoying though not dangerous. Can be safely ignored for most of the fight. The treant he summons are not really dangerous either. His DoTs should be dispelled however to reduce raid damage.
Defensive mechanics: He will Barkskin if focused. He spends part of the time using Cyclone and Roots on random people, so you might want to use PvP trinket to get out of Cyclones.
Offensive mechanics: He'll generally DoT up 2/3 people, cast Force of Nature on someone, then go spammin CCs.

Druid (Restoration)
Abilities:
- Barkskin
- Lifebloom
- Nature's Grasp
- Nourish
- Regrowth
- Rejuvenation
- Thorns
- Tranquillity
General informations: HoTs HoTs HoTs. They must be dispelled as often as possible. He's a easy target to CC for a lock since he can alternate Banish and Fear to play with the DR. The Thorns he casts on the other NPCs must be dispelled, since it will hit the attackers for 500ish damage on each melee. He should be CCd most of the time.
Defensive mechanics: Will cast Barkskin if focused, and pretty much spam HoTs and Nourish constantly.
Offensive mechanics: None.

Hunter
Abilities:
- Aimed Shot
- Deterrence
- Disengage
- Explosive Shot
- Frost Trap
- Steady Shot
- Wing Clip
- Wyvern Sting
General informations: Damn backpedaling hunters. He has very high DPS, and since he cannot be kited, he should be either CCd or nuked down as one of the first targets. Also comes with a pet but the pet can usually be ignored.
Defensive mechanics: Will generaly pop Deterrence if engaged in melee, then possibly backpeda...er... Disengage. He will also often lay a Frost Trap on the ground.

- Arcane Blast
- Arcane Explosion
- Blink
- Counterspell
- Frost Nova
- Frostbolt
- Ice Block
- Polymorph
General informations: Annoying but not lethal NPC. Can be ignored most of the times. His DPS is not high and his CC generally gets broken by the random AoEs going on. Still recommending to dispel his Polymorph.
Defensive mechanics:He will Blink if stunned, and use Frost Nova if engaged in melee. Will also occasionally Polymorph a nearby target. If he gets low on HP he will use Ice Block which should be Mass dispelled.
Offensive mechanics: Will generally alternate through his offensive spells. His most annoying move is Counterspelling a random caster, which might or might not be a healer.

Abilities:
- Cleanse
- Divine Shield
- Flash of Light
- Hammer of Justice
- Hand of Freedom
- Hand of Protection
- Holy Light
- Holy Shock
General informations: Weak healer, extremely vulnerable to interrupts. Stick a couple of rogues on him with Wounding + Mind Numbing poison and you are pretty much sure he will not cast a single heal beside Holy Shock.
Defensive mechanics: Beside healing, he spams Cleanses, and a very valid way to keep him busy is having debuffs constantly spammed, he will lose most of his time Cleansing. He will use Hand of Freedom on allies which are rooted, and Hand of Protection on allies who gets low on HP; Hand of Protection should be Purged / Dispelled as soon as possible. He will Divine Shield self somewhere after getting below 50%: must be Mass dispelled in order to interrupt the following 90k Holy Light.
Offensive mechanics: Will occasionally Stun a nearby target but that's pretty much it.

Defensive mechanics: Will drop random totems, generally buff ones (Strenght of Earth, Windfury) and defensive ones (Grounding, Tremor, Healing Stream) and occasionally Searing totem. All of them should be destroyed as soon as possible, expecially Grounding and Tremor since they interfer with CCing.
Offensive mechanics: Will pop Heroism / Bloodlust as soon as engaged, then just pick a target and attempt at raping him/her. Will also attempt to Earth Shock his current target.

Shaman (Restoration)
Abilities:
- Cleanse Spirit
- Earth Shield
- Earth Shock
- Heroism / Bloodlust
- Hex
- Lesser Healing Wave

Defensive mechanics: Like the Enhancment shaman, will drop totems, which should be destroyed as soon as possible. He will drop Earth Shield on a random NPC and then alternate Riptide with LHW. Will occasionally Cleanse Spirit, but differently from the Paladin he doesn't spam it.

Offensive mechanics: If left unchecked and not focused he will occasionally Mana Burn, but generaly he's busy healing so it's rare.

Priest (Shadow)
Abilities:
- Dispel Magic
- Dispersion
- Mind Blast
- Mind Flay
- Psychic Scream
- Shadow Word: Pain
- Silence

- Curse of Agony
- Curse of Exhaustion
- Fear
- Hellfire

General informations: Dangerous, not cause of high damage, but cause of Unstable Affliction: UA on people will prevent dispelling, which can mean a lot of damage if the Shadow Priest or the Moonkin are around. Recommended to CC, if CC isn't available, get him down after the Enha Shaman / War / DK / first healer.
Defensive mechanics: Will occasionally Fear someone.
Offensive mechanics: Will basically cast his DoTs on 3-4 people and alternate Searing Pain and Shadowbolts. If there are too many targets close he will cast Hellfire, which hurts, hence move out of it.
