  • 3, 4 or 5x Shaman Elemental
    • They are very versatile, so you can use them to tank, heal and DPS.
    • Chain Lightning is very handy when attacking groups.
    • Any lightning in combination with Elemental Mastery will give you a mana-free 100% critical hit chance.
    • Works very will for PVP too.
    • Can self-resurrect with the Reincarnation ability.
    • Because you have many shamans, you can use almost all of the important totems.

  • 3 or 4 Arcane Mages + Discipline Priest
    • AP + PoM + Trinket + Pyro is an Anti-gank measure. It will basically kill anything that moves.
    • Lots of CC. Three or four frost novas on round robin make it very effective especially if you add in some Ice Lance spam for extra damage. Three or four sheeps, not for round robin as DR is shared on the one target. Its more effective if you multi target/focus three or four of the opposing faction and sheep them all at the same time, leaving you to focus fire whoever you decide.
    • Dedicated healer enables you to resurrect alts that die in combat, especially handy if you know the opposing faction you killed is running back (World PvP) + the handy part about a Disc Priest is you can pop Power Infusion + PW:Shield for extra haste lowering the cast time down to around 7.5-8seconds instead of the usual 10.
    • AoE. This is the best part about this combination. If you setup a PI + Trinket + PS macro for your priest and use it at the same time as your mages, you can easily spam Holy Nova + Arcane Explosion for the instawin.
    • Mobility - The best thing about arcane mages is there mobility. While you are running you can spam Arcane Barrage for high damage. If a warrior charges you and starts to Smash your team with whirlwind you can blink hit your /follow macro then your spread out macro and your mages will be focused on the warrior while out of WW range so you can dps while your priest heals through the damage. Instant Invisibility is a god send. Theres so many things you can do with this including luring unsuspecting horde/alliance into attacking your priest, thinking its on its own. (You can also use invisibility to sneak up on shaman boxer teams without getting zapped right away :P)
    • Chain silence + slow. These are both invaluable tools. You can chain lock casters out of combat as well as reducing their cast time. The other less nice thing you can do with this is help mobs kill the opposing faction. While they are fighting a mob (world pvp) damage them till they are low on hp, slow them then cast chain silence so that the mob kills them. Slow is also ESPECIALLY handy for getting melee out of range. Use in combination with a frost nova for best results.
    • Party Buffs - fort/ai/spirit all go well together. Focus magic stacks real well between mages as well.
