He also appears in the backstage of the Return to Karazhan.
Abilities
- Basic Melee — Hits for roughly 4000 on cloth.
- Burning Straw — Chance to be disoriented for 6 seconds whenever hit by a fire spell.
- Brain Bash — Stuns for 4 seconds.
Strategy
Warlocks, Mages, or Shamans can "tank" this boss by spamming Fire spells on him. They'll have to remain fairly mobile however, as his physical attacks will quickly kill a clothie tank.
- Note: Spells must be the highest rank, direct damage spells only. No AoE spells, or DoT spells. [Molten Armor] damage will not work either.
- Mage note: [Scorch] is probably the best way to burn him, it's quick and low cost and with good Bonus spell damage you'll hit him for 2% with it.
- Note for Frost Mages: If you are frost specced and tanking Strawman, Scorch tends to fail most of the time to stun him. When he activates, blast him with [Fire Blast] then get some distance from him. Then use your highest ranking [Fireball]. The DoT of Fireball keeps him stunned. Be sure to have a mana gem or mana pot in case you run out of mana.
- Warlock note: [Immolate] is considered a DoT, so it does not trigger the Burning Straw debuff. You'll have to spam [Searing Pain] and/or [Incinerate]. [Searing Pain] is also good at triggering Burning Straw.
- Note: A wand that deals fire damage can trigger the Burning Straw debuff.
