Master Snowdrift (tactics)

Master Snowdrift is the second boss in the Shado-Pan Monastery dungeon.

Adventure Guide
''Master Snowdrift recognizes that the battles between the Horde and the Alliance have contributed to the monastery's dire state. Heroes seeking this wary pandaren's loyalty must first best his students. Only those who prevail can face Snowdrift himself, a paragon of martial arts who has dedicated his life to attaining perfection of body and mind.''

Stage 1: True Strength!
Master Snowdrift begins combat by using his fists and feet.

Stage 2: Spiritual Power!
Master Snowdrift harnesses and unleashes his Chi energy at the players.

Strategy
Before the encounter begins, players will be attacked by waves of Shado-Pan Novices as they enter the room downstairs. The novices turn non-hostile at low health, so remember to switch targets each time you defeat one of them.

Once the gauntlet of novices is passed, two senior students enter the ring: Flying Snow and Fragrant Lotus. Watch out for Flying Snow's whirlwind attacks &mdash; as usual, everyone, including the tank, should run away from it. Fragrant Lotus summons damaging spheres that are also to be avoided, and an add, the Jade Staff.

As for the boss himself, there are three things to watch out for:
 * Fists of Fury is a series of melee punches that can bring a player down in split seconds, including the tank. He is immobile while channeling it, so just move out of the way.
 * The player he chases during Tornado Smash should run away from him.
 * When he enters Parry Stance, stop all damage: it is going to be reflected, even more fatally on ranged attackers.
