At that point all five mobs become aggro.
This, until you have it on farm anyway, is a two tank encounter.
1st Tank Group handles Gynok:
Group Targetted Magic AE with knockback - Dusts of Disintegration
Single Target Disease Curse - Touch of Death (Semi Interuptable)
This needs to be insta-cured as it hits for inital damage and ticks for further damage. Pro Tip: Intercept.
2nd Tank Group and DPS groups handles 4 linked adds:
Single Target Curse:
Needs to be cured in a few seconds otherwise it's a wipe.
Single Target Arcance Power Drain
You essentially have to kill 6 of these as two revive. Once the first add is killed, the timer starts. You then have 4 minutes to kill all of the adds and Gynok before they start reviving again. Bring a lot of AE DPS and make sure all curses are cured fast. If you pass the four minute mark the adds revive and essentially you wipe.
Overall stategy:
Burn adds, burn Gynok, cure all curses, loot chest.

Actually, you only need to initially kill Zathra twice before you kill anything else. Gynok revives one mob himself which is where the timer comes into play. However, Zathra also is the only add that revives other adds. If you dps the adds initially to 50% and then concentrate on Zathra until he dies twice the AOE's should bring the rest of the adds down far enough where they will all die shortly after Zathra dies for the second time.There is also an effect cast on players throughout the raid fight. This effect will turn your screen blue. "Mark of the Gnollslayer" is what it is called. With this effect you need to be standing within 5 meters of Gynok before it expires on you otherwise you will blow up your raid. It is important not to DPS gynok with this effect on you because you can run the risk of getting knocked back by his damage shield.
Setup a cure rotation for four of your healers for the curses placed on your raiders by the Marn Brothers. The curse comes every 30 seconds and there will be 2 at a time. The curse can come within 5 seconds of eachother or sometimes more but they will come. Cure curse is a 60 second recast so you need 4 healers for a proper rotation. If you need one person to call out who is curing who then do so. Keep up on the cure rotation.
