Houndmaster Loksey
Level 34 elite · Huntsman's Cloister, a side room early in the Library
Optional
Optional elite houndmaster with three elite hounds; control one hound, kill the rest, then Loksey, and strip Bloodlust when it lands.
Watch for
Scarlet Tracking HoundKill adds
Three elite beast hounds fight beside him. Beast crowd control works on them.
Battle ShoutTank
Raises the melee attack power of Loksey and the allies near him.
BloodlustPurge
Gives Loksey or a hound 30% more attack speed for 30 sec. A Magic buff: Purge or Dispel Magic removes it.
Group plan
Tank
Pick up Loksey and the free hounds and hold them with area threat. Use a defensive cooldown while Loksey or a hound has Bloodlust.
Healer
Stand back so the hounds reach the tank first. Expect harder hits under Battle Shout and Bloodlust; a priest or shaman can strip Bloodlust. Watch anyone a loose hound chases.
Damage
Control one hound with Polymorph, Hibernate, Freezing Trap or Scare Beast. Kill the other hounds first, then Loksey. Keep area damage off the controlled hound.
Each class
Druid · your class
Hibernate one hound; it works on beasts. As a bear, Swipe hits three targets and free Faerie Fire adds threat to hold the other hounds.
Hunter · your class
Freezing Trap or Scare Beast one hound; Forever traps work mid-fight at your feet. Send your pet onto a hound, not Loksey, and Feign Death if one turns on you.
Mage · your class
Polymorph one hound before the pull. Frost Nova loose hounds away from the healer, and use Arcane Explosion only once the tank holds them.
Paladin · your class
Tank with Righteous Fury and Consecration, which every paladin trains at 20, to hold the hounds. Blessing of Protection saves a clothie a hound is mauling.
Priest · your class

Shaman · your class
Purge Bloodlust off Loksey or a hound. Drop Stoneclaw Totem to draw a loose hound off the healer, and keep Magma Totem away from the controlled hound.
Warlock · your class
Bring the Felhunter: Devour Magic strips Bloodlust from Loksey or a hound. Curse of Weakness trims his hits; Fear a hound only once nearby rooms are clear.
Warrior · your class
Tank in Defensive Stance; Forever lets Thunder Clap work there to grab the hounds. Demoralizing Shout offsets Battle Shout; save Shield Wall for Bloodlust.

Group plan
Tank
Tank him in the middle of the room, or pull him back into the previous hall to use its pillars. When Arcane Bubble rises, leave with everyone, then pick him up again.

Hunter · your class
Shoot from the room's edge. Call your pet back when Arcane Bubble rises so Detonation doesn't kill it; Feign Death if you pull threat.
Mage · your class
