Roltall is the second to the last boss of [zone=6874] located in Frostfire Ridge. He remains stationary at the end of the bridge throughout the entire fight, and must be defeated in order to remove the barrier to the last boss.
- The party should avoid [spell=153247]s that are summoned on either the left, middle, or right side of the bridge where he stands, and roll it's length, stunning anyone in it's path. A circle will appear where the boulder will start, indicating it's path and giving characters just enough time to move out.
Note: The [spell=153247]s return along the same path in Heroic.- The tank and melee should stand on top of the boss to avoid [spell=153227] cast on the bridge, moving to either side to avoid boulders as necessary.
- To avoid [spell=167739], ranged should stand away from the boss, providing more time to avoid [spell=153247]s.
- Use HOTS, defensive cool downs, and instant cast spells when [spell=152897] is cast, as it blows everyone back.
- Ranged should move out of, and avoid, [spell=153227] cast on the bridge, especially during [spell=152897].

The highest voted Wowhead comments for this page. They are community notes, not TheWoWDB comments.
We did it today on heroic mode.
The strategy is rather simple, but good execution may be harder.1/ Roltall launches a series of 3 boulders (there is a fire zone to indicate where the next boulder will go). Avoid them and be aware that those boulders will come back in the same order
2/ When the 3rd boulder has returned, Roltall summons a wave that pushes you away for a time (8 seconds).
3/ The wave skill would only be a nuisance if Roltall had not thrown some burning slags before. The trick here is to stay aside a slag and never in front of one, so as not to be repelled into them.Rinse and repeat.
This fight is a Gear Check for your DPS and your healer. The platform fills up quickly with fire, making it more difficult to DPS for casters dodge boulders, and more difficult to heal as everyone is getting hit with the slag.
Make sure everyone is in position when the tank pulls, and blow all DPS CDs at the start. This will be the only part of the fight were you will not have to dodge or heal anything additional, so make the most of it!
