These ghouls are summoned through the Death Knight spell . Presumably they last 40 seconds, and 6 of them will be summoned (can be raised up to 9 through talents)

no longer true. as far as i know, talents no longer affects the number of ghouls raised.
you get 8. 9 if you include your own default ghoul.

AoTD will not taunt raid boss ? bosses but they will taunt the adds on the bosses. Tested many weeks over and over in Naxx. And has been tested by a few DK friends as well...

Take note that these ghouls can be taunted (which can be especially helpful from a PvP standpoint)!

Stuff to know about these guys :

-You summon 2 ghouls per second with the Army of the Dead spell, wich is channelled for 4 secondes (total of 8 ghouls). They use energy as a ressource. The ghouls will pop out from the ground faster and the total cast time will be reduced proportionaly to your haste.

-It is nearly impossible to take aggro from the ghouls. Even with taunt (wich will fail most of the time), if you actually manage to get aggro, one of the ghouls will take it back in less than a second. This is not true against raid bosses. The Ghouls won't taunt mobs that are flagged as "Boss" in-game (level ?).

-The ghouls will use two abilities : Claw (wich deals 150% normal damage and is an instant attack) and Leap (wich is a Charge that will get the user behind the target, instead of taking the shortest way to get in range, and looks really cool when the whole pack of ghouls leep to their target). The Leap is more useful than it appears : not only will it get the ghouls at the best place to DPS (except against most dragons ennemies, like Onyxia, where you should deactivate the automatic use, and send your ghoul to the dragon after placing yourself, but that's not the subject since you can't control the Army ot the Dead Ghouls) and give them high mobility, it will also bring them instantly to the ennemy you would have, say, Death Gripped.

-The gouls will die after 40 seconds, if not killed before that. That timer starts at the first moment where you can select them with the /target Army of the Dead Ghoul command.

-The ghouls only take 10% damage (90% damage reduction) from area of effect spells, even without the Night of the Dead talent (that talent gives your personnal ghoul (pet given from Master of the Ghouls) the same area-of-effect damage reduction), meaning they'll be fine even by staying near any NPC using a nova-like spell.

-The ghouls' taunt has a 30- or 40-yard range (needs confirmation), so once they engage a mob, any mob within that taunt range will also be pulled. Always keep that in mind cause it can really screw you up.

-The ghouls' melee swings represent 60% of the damage they deal during their 40-second life. The remaining 40% are from the Claw ability.

-Each ghoul will use their Claw ability about 10 times if they've been in combat and in range of using it during the 40 secondes while they are active.

-Each Ghoul will have about a fifth of your current health when the spell is casted.

-The strength, stamina and attack speed (originaly one attack every two seconds) of your ghouls will vary dependantly with your own strength, stamina and haste, respectively.

As a quick summary, Army of the Dead will summon 8 copies of a pet-ghoul that will deal 50% less damage and will be a lot more frail (mine have 4K hp each when my personal ghoul has 31K), will not have Gnaw or Huddle and will have a +20000% generated AoE threat (that last estate is exagerated, of course ...), even if you don't have the Master of the Ghouls talent.

This post will be completed and corrected by the future.

i haven't played an unholy dk for very long so i have a question, is it still possible to target an army of the dead ghoul with corpse explosion and let him explode, before the 40sec timer runs out and he dies like intended ?

Question from a paladin for all you DKs out there: I noticed a little while back that the ghouls from this are, in fact, buffable, and I've taken to trying to get blessing of might on as many as I can for the duration. I've never had a chance to do this in a situation where I can look at the log later, though, so I'm not sure if that actually DOES anything. Any of you know?

If you have army out AND you're pet Death Pact will Sacrifice one of these underlings, very useful for Unholy DK's

Commento di 828073

Slightly more useful for Blood DKs while in PvP, just keep spamming Death Strike and Death Pact and you'll stay at almost full health

Something to note is that unlike most pets, aside from hunter pets, warriors get Victory Rush from killing these. They have relatively low health about 31-34k can be chain killed to get all of your HP back. So don't be scared as warrior when a Death Knight uses this.
