As you probably already know, there are zombies everywhere. Fortunately, you won’t need to go to extreme lengths in order to fight them, such as grafting a chainsaw to yourself as a replacement hand. On the other hand, boomsticks will serve you well. 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!
Move faster
The good news is that Azerothian zombies, just like in most movies, move slow. Just be sure to stay farther than 21 yards away from them as they have Retch! a ranged spell that will slow anyone within the area of effect. This is the smoky green cloud on the ground you see in all those screenshots. They can also summon a burst of speed using Lurch! so don’t be too confident that they won’t close the distance. That ability also frees them from movement impairing effects so trapping them or slowing them isn’t a guarantee you’ll be able to stay away from them. The idea is to kite the zombies, because getting into melee range with them is a very bad idea.
