Elite Tauren Chieftain, Rock God, or ETC for short, is a medium difficulty melee warrior. Aside from the amazing ability to wield five guitars and a keytar at once, ETC's greatest talent is to leap anywhere on the battlefield, making him extremely mobile despite being a hulking mass of hairy muscle. He's able to knock around and stun enemies with guitar solos and, if he plays a particularly sweet tune, he can buff his friends.
