Hey i want to have a 5box PvE group started along with a PvP group
For PvP, im going to level 4shammys and a pally, and then get the pally geared for raids, and pvp with the shaman.
For PvE, i want to make a couple of 4man groups and have my raiding pally tank. Can u tell me which of the following are most viable?
  • 1 pally, 3 frost mages (i want to do 3v3 with them, so they WILL be frost), and a healer (which class?)
  • 1 pally, 3 felguard locks (20/41), and a healer
  • 1 pally, 4 Spriests (will spriest healing be enough?)
  • 1 pally, 4 holy priests (holy nukes plus pally judgement ftw?)
If you have any other steups that work fine, please add them into your post. Thnks
1 pally + 3 Frost mage --- good for pve, not so good for pvp. one fear and you're all over the place. You an ice block, but that just makes the death longer. Can you imagine having separate keys to ice block each mage. For healer, any will do.

I havent played locks, i don't like pets.

pally with Spriest. i dont like spriest's micromanaging cast sequences. ve, vt, dot, mb, and most annoying is Mind Flay is channeling and gets ruined when I press the key again.

pally with Hpriest ha some synergy, but I hate the long cast time of holy fire, and it's still single target smite. holy nova cost too much mana.

I think for PvE, it would be more fun to mix your range casters. Spriest, Frost Mage, Lock, and Shaman with a pally. Then you can spec one of your shamans to Resto that will serve as healer in your pally + 4 shaman when doing badge grinds. Even in BG, having 1 resto is pretty nice.

I run 1 Pally + 3 Shaman. I plan to get a 5th, and it will be a frost mage.
