    Default Shamans still leet?

    Just starting duel boxing hae 4 accounts thinking about leveling 4 shamans. Just wondering if they if shamans are the best as far as pvp goes for a set of 4 at this time and if they will still pvp well after the next expansion is released. Sorry if this sounds like a stupid question but I couldn't find an answer

    Quad shamans with someone else on the healer are amongst the top for 5v5 Arena.
    Just about any composition works for battlegrounds, but shammies are relatively strong there too.

    Four shammies and a prot paladin is probably the easiest combination to do heroics with.
    Again shammies are strong in PvE too.

    They wear mail armor and equip shields.
    They can heal and ressurrect and self rez.
    They have a multitude of totem buffs.
    They have amazing burst.

    Lots of nice toys...
    Earthbind to snare/root.
    Windshock off of the GCD for extra spell interrupts.
    Fire Nova to stun.
    Fire Elementals for AoE (not in arena).
    Lightning Shield vs cleave/aoe.
    Thunderstorm as a pushback or push over the cliff.
    Instant ghost wolf.
    Grounding vs casters.
    Staggered Tremor totems vs the Fear Bomb.
    Etc.

    They're not the only team with success, but they're up there.

    If you are going Alliance then your options are a little limited
    The Crystal Dawn - Alliance - Khaz'Goroth - US
    Holy Priest (80) : Demonology Warlock (80) : Frost Death Knight (80)
    Protection Paladin (80) : Elemental Shaman (80) : Arcane Mage (80)
    Combat Rogue (80) : Cat Druid (80) : Elemental Shaman (80)

    Restoration Druid (72) : Elemental Shaman (70) : Discipline Priest (67)
    Beast Mastery Hunter (71) : Combat Rogue (74)

    They're leet except for the fact that elemental shaman are the squishiest class/spec in the game. It takes 900-1000 resil and 22-23k hp to not explode instantly against most other stuff.

    However the burst and guaranteed crit ability, and all the toys, are what make them viable. If you do battlegrounds, wintergrasp, and world pvp, remember that you're just like a turret. Find a good place to fire from and you will put out insane amounts of damage.

    i think shammies are the best to start with, unless ur willing to try a odd group and get lucky lol, 5 palies worked out of nowhere...
    maybe 5 rouges might work, but u can never go wrong with the shammies
