Just seeing this now. Thanks, I’ll give it a try
Will this work with a pet?
I tried with 2 pets and it would not work.
I tired with my pets and still the same issue occurred.
I managed to solo it with my mage pet. But this was during legion.
I can’t do it at 120 with a warlock pet. It just jumps to one ghoul then disappears.
Tried the 10 man achievement last week with my husband on some of our characters and the plague won’t stack past 2 for us. We tried at the stairs and then doing a circle around the middle to avoid being pushed off. Attempted killing mobs as they spawn to get the plague and letting them stack up. Most stacks either one of us got was 2. I did the 25 man 7/18/19 and got it. Not sure if the bug is still going or what, but we did it for hours and nothing. My husband submitted a ticket, but hasn’t received a response yet. Going to try again this week and hope for the best.

Any luck on retrying? My wife and I just spent three hours trying and followed many of the same tactics and while we did get it all the way to 18 on one go it seems that many of the times we would lose the stack even within 10 yards of each other at expiration.
We ended up getting the achievement by killing the adds as soon as they popped up. We stayed in the middle and walked around the circle to avoid the push off. It took a little bit, but the plague bounced between us and didn’t fall off.
I just did it. Took me forever though.
Basically I had my daughter’s warrior on follow and killed all of the adds as they spawned.
I kept moving around because I read somewhere that it helps if the disease carrier is between you and the Lich King and then in other places the reverse
I recommend the addon Instance achievement tracker. As soon as it announces kill, kill.
Good luck.
Edit: just did it on 25 as well. Same strat, just took a little longer. About 20 minutes, or so, where as on 10 man, once I figured it out it only took about 12 minutes.
Edit 2: if you are going after the achievement I highly recommend doing Arthas on normal. He doesn’t cast the trap that sends you sailing off the spire.
I just help a friend doing this since awhile from LK.
The point is - DO NOT DISPEL - the debuff, wait it runs out on yourself and it will automatically jump to another player
Bring 1 or 2 friends with you, kill all the mobs appears, lets the debuff jump on players only, DO NOT DISPEL.
Good luck folks!
Saved my butt with this today. Thank you! I had to get a buddy but we did it together.
A year later, and this bug still persists. Blizzard GMs will reply to your tickets with snide remarks about intended mechanics, when clearly the intended mechanic and original mechanic of the plague was to jump between mobs and players alike. This is ridiculous
Can this please be made soloable again, it was able to be done solo for so long. Please fix the issue.
It was able to be done solo by some classes for so long, but not all of them. It is actually possible this is a fix to the general unfairness of that by making it not soloable by any class, and not a bug at all. But I wish they would say so definitively if so.
I wonder if the Shadowlands level squish may fix this as a free side effect. If we don’t out-level the ghouls by 40 levels any more, maybe we won’t one-shot them with the plague.
This is still bugged for me, tried the workaround suggested below of using two players, and can’t get it to stack. Hoping Blizzard will fix this, because it’s ridiculous.
Why if they fix it… The 1000s before you had to do this…
