Okay I'm having an issue with 2nd phase of Black Knight, because aoe has to start so fast there seems to be no way I can keep agro on zombies. I spam swipe, when they start to break off I let out my roar and get them all back but right as soon as the duration is over off they go on their merry way. There is not enough time to tab around for extra agro from mauls/mangles/lacerates....

I'm lost as too what more I can do. Is there any other way/trick to tanking this fight?, Lathio on Khazgoroth if you want to see my gear/spec (in cat gear atm) but I don't think I'm undergeared.

Tell your group to wait 5-10 sec before they start to aoe.

I've done it a few times with bear tanks and with bears we usually have a caster(mage preferably) tank the adds while the tank kites the black knight away from them. This helps with the corpse explosion aoe. The one that worked best was with two mages, although it can be done with any caster aoe. Mage pulled with Blizzard, druid tank taunted BK off of Mage, other mage/caster aoes the mob to them, and the two casters just pulled back and forth using aoe damage, while the tank and third dps burned down BK. Just make sure the healer is on their toes. I've done this several times on reg and once on heroic, no wipes.

Alternately, if your group has good gear, you can simply ignore the zombies. Tank pulls boss away from Desecration, zombies will mostly scatter and randomly hit group members but they won't do too much damage. Your group can then focus on the boss and kill him as fast as possible.

Once he is dead, everyone should run away from nearby ghouls obviously as they self-destruct.

I don't think zombies have aggro tables, they just attack random stuff.

for the most part, correct.

they are tauntable, and they seem to stay on you for a while after taunting. but don't expect them to stick around for very long.

When i tank on my warrior I wait for them all to spawn and do http://www.wowhead.com/?spell=1161 which gives me first aggro then they fan out after a couple of seconds and i just train him around the room staying in range of the healer, everyone totally ignoring the adds.

They reset agro every now and then and attack random I beliveave

[Vitamens]

Get you a good healer and forget the adds are even there...... WINNER!!

This is what we've always done. The ghouls don't hit for crap anyways. As Ret I just stay on the BK and my DS, Holy Shock, and Consecrate take care of ghouls.

Yea, they reset aggro. With good dps you can just burn the BK and ignore the adds and run away when they explode.

[Deaths]

you can taunt them, and attempt to tank them.. but you will only hold onto them for a short period of time.. they seem to randomly pick someone to go after, or they reset their aggro / are aggro immune, but not taunt immune.

I normally just ignore them.. drop a Holy Wrath, they all come to me for 5-10 seconds.. by that time the boss is dead or almost dead and they dont matter anymore.

[therealpeni]

lol?

we usually stack furst, all close together, then freeze em, or anything similar, and run out

tank stays in there though :x then aoe

dno, never wiped on that lol :|

[Bigsilly]

You Can't completely ignore the adds because they will interrupt your healer. As a prot warrior, i use challenging shout, and then kite the mob around the room alternating between Thunderclap, and Shockwave when they are not on cooldown and spam cleave whenever possible in between. works every time. Always respect the healer and pull adds off of him/her.

I just run around and swipe spam, it holds them plenty while aoe kills it off. My swipes usually crit for about 1k though.

i swipe and wait a few seconds for them all to spawn then pop challenging roar. DPS stacks where i am and usually they're dead within seconds.

its really easy
