Too hot to handle

The Fire Mages can't stop themselves from starting a fire. Simply heat them up with as much critical strike as you can and watch the bodies burn.

3. OUTLAW ROGUE

Pillage and plunder.

The bronze medal goes to the Outlaw Rogues, who are only interested in getting paid for their dungeon work. It's no surprise that they're nicknamed "World of Warcraft pirates."
