Viable 5 man melee setups for PvP

[Peregrine]

I was thinking of running 4x mage and 4x disc for world pvp. With PI and AP I would get 50% increase to damage overall. Also, would go tailoring/enginering on all so I can have nice income for mooncloth, can also swap tailoring once i get my recipes and chests for alchemy transmutes or we.

Thing is, that 4x mage 4x disc can just rape mass group of people with ease (rush in, pop pi and ap and spam arcane explosion for 1/1.5 per tick per mage so that's easy 6k dmg) Plus iceblock in case of emergency If i go full frost instead ap so I can heal quckly.

What do you think?

Sounds OP. I think you need to go Alliance side and run in a raid with at least 2 5-box groups of 3 Warriors+2 Paladins running front line & general interference for you ;-).

You mean that the warriors hold the line for me and then just randomly 1 shotting 10 people ? haha

spam arcane explosion

Engineering seems like it would make more sense. Run in with invisibility pots, pop goblin sapper charges, frost nova and arcane explosion and you could probably wipe a raid if they were stacked and not paying attention. 8 GSC's is like 4,000 instant damage by itself.

4 Mages/4 Priests is kind of an awkward number though. Why 8 characters instead of 10? I'd probably swap one of the priests for a druid. Rejuvenation stacks with renew and having a druid would allow you to farm dungeons for preraid BiS.

I am struggling with bfa gold as it is, that's the main thing.
