Instructor Razuvious

Cannot be tanked normally — only his Death Knight Understudy students can absorb his strikes.

Tactic: Two priests use Mind Control on DK Understudies. MC priests tank Razuvious in rotation — when one gains Unbalancing Strike, drop MC and the second priest immediately picks up control.

Gothik the Harvester

Raid splits into two 20-person groups: Living side (kill living adds) and Undead side (kill ghosts/skeletons). After all living adds die, gates open. Gothik descends — tank and burn him.

Four Horsemen

The hardest encounter in vanilla WoW. Four bosses simultaneously apply a stacking Mark debuff. At 5 stacks: instant death.

Tactic: 8 tanks total (2 per horseman). Every 15–20s the group with 2 Marks rotates out and the 0-Mark group rotates in. Kill front two first, then back two.

Важно

Four Horsemen requires paladins. Without them effective back-horseman rotation is nearly impossible.
