The first mark is cast 20 seconds into the fight and goes out every 12 seconds after that.

Each Horseman casts their mark as an AoE, hitting all players in a 60 yard radius, which can not be avoided by line of sight.

Mark debuffs stack, similar to Firemaw debuffs. Each time a new Mark is applied, more and more damage is dealt to the player.

The debuff lasts for 75 seconds, refreshing to the maximum duration each time a new stack is applied.

The debuff can not be removed earlier by any spell or item, other than by the player dying.

Four tanks should be assigned, one to each of the Four Horsemen, and on pull need to immediately drag their assigned horseman to the proper corner of the room. There is 20 seconds from the moment the horseman are pulled before the first mark goes out, so that is plenty of time to properly position each boss.

Each of the Four Horsemen can be Disarmed, so Tanks should absolutely use as a defensive tool to stop the auto attacks from each of the bosses.

Melee DPS

Melee should ensure they don't don't go over 3 or 4 stacks of the Mark debuffs. When damaging Thane Korth'azz, Melee need to stay stacked up so they don't get obliterated by a Meteor. When attacking Lady Blaumeux, they need to avoid standing in the Void Zones, They need to move away from the Tank before a Holy Wrath goes out on Sir Zeliek, and lastly, Melee should never hey hit by Highlord Mograine.

Ranged DPS

Ranged damage dealers, like melee, need to pay close attention to their Mark debuff stacks, ensuring they don't go over 3 or 4 total Marks. If they are worried about the number of debuffs they have, Ranged can stand at the front of the platform the Four Horsemen stand on, as there is a small area where players can drop all debuff marks while being out of range of all four bosses.

Healers

Healers, like Melee and Ranged, should pay attention to their debuff stacks and make sure they stay below 3 or 4 debuffs, depending on how much total health they have. Like the rrest of the raid, Healers will need to be moving across the room and be prepared to heal whichever new Tank they approach after a rotation.

The Four Horsemen Notable Classes

Tanks are the most important part of this encounter, Kriegers and Feral Druides. This boss goes very smoothly with 8 Tanks that are all aware of their assignments and understand how the boss mechanics work. Essentially, Tanks will have to keep each of the Four Horsemen in their own corner of the room while the rest of the raid rotates between bosses. Whenever the Tank gets too many stacks from one of the horseman, an auxiliary Tank will temporarily take over, allowing for the initial Tank to rotate to a different boss.

A thing worth mentioning here, that is missing in the guide, is that each of the marks will reduce the current threat value by 50%. So if you had 109 threat at the pull and received your first mark, you'll drop to 54 threat. This will require special attention by the DD, espcially on the pull, as it is too easy to draw away attention from the tanks

7 marks will kill a DPS. Telling dps to stay in to '6 or 7 marks' is way past the acceptable threshhold

I'm the primary OT for my guild, and the Mograine MT. We use the Thane burn strategy, and I absolutely recommend that a minimum of 2 tanks have at least 150+ fire resistance. I, personally, tank with 200 unbuffed, and having none will have the Mograine tank(s) take drastically more damage. None of the other horsemen hit tanks hard, with Zeliek being the weakest, since a single hit from his holy chain will do around 540 damage. Lady Blaumeax can kill a tank quickly if they fail to move out of voidzones, but she's harmless otherwise. Thane's meteor (if zerging him) will do nothing due to how many are stacked to split the damage.

All four horsemen are disarmable, and I recommend a Disarm rotation on Thane if you're burning him before the first switch, so that your MT can dual wield for maximum threat. We were able to burn Thane without world buffs (and some without any consumables at all).

We were short on hunters and only had 2, so we stacked the warriors and had one Bloodrage + Battle Shout on pull to get them grouped and coming forward. The two hunters would grab Lady Blaumeax and Sir Zeliek and pull them out and to the sides to be picked up and dragged to the back, and the Thane and Mograine tanks picked theirs up in the forward gap and pulled back to their positions. This was the most reliable way to get all four of them to their tanks without any accidental deaths using only two hunters. (As a forewarning: Their aggro range is MASSIVE. You can hug the walls to get a bit to the sides in the beginning, but it's very easy to accidentally pull them with just a step or two into the center.)

Shadow Protection Potions help with the 5+ mark hits, but I didn't require any Fire Protection Potions for Mograine.

Sir Zeliek Abilities

Holy Wrath is similar to High Priest Venoxis in Zul'Gurub, in that it is essentially a chain lightning that deals Holy damage. It goes out every 12 seconds, first hitting the tank with the most aggro and then bouncing to any player within 5 yards of that target, doubling in damage each time it jumps. To avoid this, players need to ensure they are not too close to the tank holding aggro on Sir Zeliek!

This is wrong. The initial cast can target any player within 35 yards of Zeliek. And the bounce range for the beam is 10 yards.

This is wrong for Season of Discovery P7. It targets a random player at within 45 yards and bounces between players who are 5-10 yards. It can also bounce between pets and totems.
