This document describes the **Four Horseman** strategy that we will use to get the achievement **And They Would All Go Down Together (25-man)** for **<Technique>-Benediction**

We will maintain two stacks with 2 horsemen in each stack for cleave purposes. There are three sections in this document for [Tanks](#Tanks) / [DPS](#DPS) / [Healers](#Healers). Please refer to the appropriate section.

## Tanks
#### Overview
This strategy uses 4 tanks. Each tank will be responsible for 1 horseman, as well as coordinating a taunt swap with a nearby tank when stacks are too high and a transition is needed. For this strategy we will have each tank swap when they get to 4 stacks. Two tanks will be assigned to swap every 4 stacks starting on **Mark 2**, (ex. Mark 2,6,10,14,18,etc.). The other two tanks will be assigned to swap every 4 stacks starting on **Mark 4**, (ex. Mark 4,8,12,16,20).


#### Dropping your Stacks
When it is your turn to transition to the other side and drop marks, you call for a taunt swap, and your partner tank will taunt your add off of you and you can leave. **MAKE SURE NOT TO LEAVE until you do not have aggro on your Horseman anymore**. If you look at the diagram, you will see four marks for each mob: **CROSS**, **SQUARE**, **MOON**, **TRIANGLE**.

**MOON** <---> **TRIANGLE** (tank on **MOON** swaps with tank on **TRIANGLE** on Marks 2,6,10,14,etc.)
**CROSS** <---> **SQUARE** (tank on **CROSS** swaps with tank on **SQUARE** on Marks 4,8,12,16,etc.)

#### Taunt Swapping
When the other tank on your side needs a taunt swap, you need to taunt their horseman off of them so they can leave. **MAKE SURE to use a taunt that sustains aggro**, Mocking Blow and AOE taunt will not sustain aggro after their duration ends.

## Healers
#### Overview
This strategy uses 6 healers, 2 healers will be at each position. Each healer will be assigned a starting position **A**, **B**, or **C**. Each healer will also be given a number either **2** or **3**. Position **C** is the safe spot, you should not get any marks back here and can top nearby raiders off. Your main job at Position **A** and Position **B** is to focus on healing tanks, use any extra globals to top off the raid.

#### Rotating between positions
The number represents the first mark that you will begin moving on, and rotate every 3 marks thus onwards. For example if you are number **2**, you will rotate on marks **2**, **5**, **8**, **11**, etc. in a counter clockwise pattern as in the figure. If you are number **3**, you will rotate on marks **3**, **6**, **9**, **12**, etc. in a counter clockwise pattern as in the figure.


## DPS
#### Overview
DPS will be assigned either starting position **A** or **B**. Every 3 marks it is **YOUR RESPONSIBILITY** to move to the other side. Make sure to dps the add with more HP, and cleave when possible. If something goes wrong and you don't know why you haven't dropped stacks yet, move towards the entrance of the room away from everything and you will not die.
