Surviving the Zombie Invasion!!
Ok, everyone's seen at least ONE plagued zombie walking around trying to eat everyone's brains out, right? I'm pretty sure everyone's been one or has had a close shave of being one, right? Now, how are you going to survive against the overwhelming odds? Here's your guide. Following the rules stated below will significantly increase your chances of surviving in the zombie apocalypse. Will you never die? No, but you'll sure live a lot longer.
1. Most important rule. ALWAYS KNOW EXACTLY WHAT'S GOING ON AROUND YOU!!! If you leveled on a PvP server you should be fairly familiar with this rule. No matter what level you are or how good you are at dodging zombies, if you don't see them, you can't avoid them.
2. Keep a stun off CD. If that pesky zombie decides to lurch when he's about 10 yards away and you don't have a stun up, you're toast. Note that while lurching, THEY ARE IMMUNE TO NORMAL SLOW/ ROOT AFFECTS. Stuns are the only way to stop them while lurching.
3. If your class has no ranged stuns, never let the zombies closer than about 15 yards. If they lurch inside that circle, you're hosed.
4. Watch out for the plague clouds. If you're in one, immediately get out of the cloud and slow the approaching zombies. Be ready for them to lurch.
5. If you see a zombie trying to explode, stun or interrupt them IMMEDIATELY if you are within ~15 yards.
6. If you get plagued and you can dispel it, do so immediately. It may take more than one try, and you want a buffer of about 20 seconds to make sure you can get it off in time.
Now, here's some general strategies to kill zombies for some classes (some help here would be appreciated):
Rogue/Warrior: RUN. Seriously, you guys can't do crap about the zombies.
Pally: You're more gifted than you think. Although you're not happy if you run into a whole pack of them, you can kite around one zombie and spam instant-casts at them until they die. If they get too close stun them, melee them if you used a HoJ that lasts for at least 5 seconds and use one instant melee attack if you're specced for it. Run away and keep kiting.
Druid: Root/ Cyclone them, make sure Moonfire is up, then spam Starfire. Easy, just make sure they don't get too close.... If there's more than 1, RUN.
Shaman: Kite with frost shock and spam cast spells at them. Lay down an Earthbind totem if they resist frost shock, or if there's more than 1 zombie. Just cast damage spells until they die.
Hunter: Put your pet on passive so it doesn't get plagued, and kite the zombies around. Not too hard.
Mage: Kite them around with frost spells and hit frost nova if the zombies get too close. One of the easier classes.
Warlock/Priest: I don't know a whole lot about you guys... some help here would be nice.
If you're one of the classes capable of dispelling diseases, do so whenever possible.
