Recently, we have posted many topics about the zombies. Are you the fan of zombies? Before we go about the strategies of how to fight legions of undead, it might help to read on all their abilities as well as some of their nefarious strategies for growing their numbers. Obviously, we won't need to tell you how to fight NPC zombies... they're mindless. But those crafty players-turned-zombies must be smote with righteous fury!
Stay clean
Make sure to keep on curing the disease if you have the ability to do so. Even though 10 minutes seems like a long time, the melee hits I mentioned earlier quickly cuts that time down and you can suddenly turn into a zombie before you're aware of it. You can also always retreat to an Argent Healer, who will cure your affliction within close proximity. Also be aware that using immunity mechanics such as Divine Shield or Ice Block while infected will transform you into a zombie immediately, rather than removing the disease from you.
You're fighting Undead
Remember that zombies are classified as Undead, which means abilities such as Holy Wrath, Turn Evil, Shackle Undead, and Exorcism all work on them. This is a great opportunity for Paladins and Priests to use abilities normally reserved for NPCs on fellow players. Holy Wrath also works as an AoE stun, so it's a good ability to use in the midst of the zombie masses.
Mercy killing
Remember that zombies can be of any level -- from lowbie players giving townsfolk a scare to Level 70s wreaking havoc in major cities. Don't hesitate to strike down low-level zombies. They have exactly the same abilities as the high level ones, so they're just as dangerous except that they are easier to kill because they have less life. If that weapon swapping bug is fixed, low level zombies should go down fairly quickly. If you kill them, they will return uninfected and hopefully stay that way.
