Notes

Despite the warnings, the quest is relatively soloable, by some classes easier than others:

• Warrior: Be sure to dodge Killclaw's charge and counter with a [Charge] of your own, while using [Shield Block] as much as possible to reduce damage taken. You may need to use a healing potion.
• Mage: Kiting is key - use [Frostbolt] to slow the bear, and don't forget to dodge its charge. A combination of [Frost Nova] and [Blink] can be used to makes some distance in a panic situation.
• Rogue: Easily the hardest class to solo this quest with. Come into battle with at least 4 combo points stored ( [Sinister Strike] nearby rats to get some), start with [Cheap Shot] into immediate [Eviscerate], then pray for luck and [Instant Poison] procs. Several uses of [Crimson Vial] and a healing potion are necessary, and even then the fight will be down to the last bit of health.
• Paladin: Simply avoid the bear's charges and heal with [Word of Glory] whenever you have the holy power for it. [Flash of Light] can be used if immediate healing is needed.
• Priest: Avoid the bear's charge and use the opportunity to heal up with [Flash Heal] while the enemy is not in melee range. [Psychic Scream] can also be used to create a breather.
• Hunter: Simply kiting Killclaw after slowing it with [Wing Clip] will allow you to kill the bear with relative ease.
• Shaman: Dodge the bear's charges and heal up with [Healing Surge] in the meantime. Hitting the bear with [Earthbind Totem] after the charge can allow you to squeeze an extra cast before the bear can catch up.
• Warlock: Use [Summon Voidwalker] and let the demon tank, heal it once it hits half health with [Health Funnel], and weaken the bear with [Curse of Weakness].
• Druid: It's best not to try and fight bear with bear - use regular or [Cat Form]. [Regrowth] can be used for healing after dodging Killclaw's charge.
• Monk: Dodge the charge and use the opportunity to heal with [Vivify] while the bear is not in melee range. [Touch of Death] can be used as a finisher.
