New Team what are my options with the following info provided?

[blbjtb]

So I want to make 4 of something and for my 5th I would put in one of my geared 80s

My 80s you have to choose from are as follows:

1. Pally
2. DK
3. Shaman

What I want to do with this team is PVP. Arena would be nice but I think I would be happy just in battle grounds

I have 165 Badges to trade in for lvling gear
shoulder chest Weapon

10-60 Would probably instance grind
60-70 probably Outlands quest
70-80 Instance BG grind
(I loathe Northrend quests)

I already have a warlock and 4 Shamen

So given this information what team would you suggest I make?

If there will be any kind of a PvE focus, even to get badges for full pvp-badge gear...
The Paladin starts to look very nice.

A lot of people are having a blast with 4x Ret + 1x DK.
That is an option to consider.

I'm currently leveling 4x Warlock (Affliction) + 1x Disc Priest.
And 5x Balance (1x Feral dual-spec, 1x Resto dual-spec).
Both teams are for Battlegrounds as the primary focus.

I've heard druids don't have a lot of burst, and that can hurt them.
I'm hopeful 5x Owls can do BG's well, but am willing to experiment with 5x Cats, if Owls don't work.
If neither work, I can probably make a decent BG team from my available toons.. and then have a 2nd as primary PvE and a third as change of pace PvE.

Anyway, 5x Druids is a blast to level with.
And they have a ton of toys, which are all very fun to play with.
But they might lack some burst, at least as boomkins.
Not sure which of your 80's would best fit on this team.

And the 4x Warlocks/1x Priest is a very fun team too.
But they're much lower level.
Asonimie has had some success with 4x warlocks, not sure if he plays the priest too though.
Not sure that a Pally, DK or Shammy adds that well to this either, possibly the shammy Resto, with locks going Destro.

After alot of consideration Im going to end up going the 4ret 1 dk and see how that works out... But im going to have to figure out a decent DK macro to tank and also to pvp with thats my only real challenge that I can think of at the moment. and I figure that if I need a more suitable tank i can sub the dk for my prot pally and badge them up and then work on the Dk solo. either way Im really looking forward to this I just hope (using your guide ualaa that ill be able to get the interact with target to work the way I want it to)


Ualaa that 4 lock aff team has to be hilarious (im leving up my lock as Ive mentioned before and that spec is amazing just run around dotting the crap out of everything)

If all you want to do is BGs, you may find that only running 4 characters gives you more flexibility and doesn't tie up as much of the BG team. I vastly prefer to quadbox BGs compared to running a full 5. Sure, it's slightly less killing power, but I really only need 4 to defend a node or go on the attack, and that leaves another person free to be at another location.

AV is an obvious exception, but for most other BGs, I really prefer 4...
