WPvP 10man alliance group -> horde dominated server

[Kraxx]

Hi,
do you have any tips/ideas for a good 10man alliance group for world pvp?


Nearly every PvP-server in EU is horde dominated. That means it could be great fun to have a viable 10man alliance PvP group an such a server.

My tactic will be to kill smaller groups (up to 5) and then change the location. Otherwise I will be outnumbered in a few minutes (call for help in chat).
I thought about a team of 2 pally healer and 8 warlocks. 8 doting warlocks should kill things very fast and the survivability of warlocks(soullink) and pallys is great.I also considered 10 dwarf rogues but they are squishy as hell and one well-geared warrior will have the potential to wreck my whole team.

My biggest concerns with alliance fraction are:
- very fast outnumbered by horde
- shamans can do serious aoe-damage to a multibox-team if you compare it, paladins on alliance are a joke...
- ud fear-racial
- ud fear-racial
- ud fear-racial

Do you think it will be fun or a pain in the a.... to have a 10man alliance group on an horde dominated pvp server?
Remark: I will mostly level all chars by dungeon grinding so being ganked while questing will not be a big issue.

Thanks

Or just go with us on Zandalar Tribe EU, we are a guild of boxer on Horde side and the server is alliance dominated (not so heavy, like 60/40).
We need people to secure raids

That's what my ultimate goal is, I already have 10 accounts but realized too late it is a pain to level them.. Getting only 18 exp per kill in dungeons..
Also we seriously lack an aoe skill like Shamans have.. If you have an idea for quick aoe burst as alliance I'm all ears.

Your best option is 5x mages paired with 5x discs or 8x mages paired with 2x disc. I'd consider 5x warrior paired with 5x paladins but warriors got 0 mobility as main problem.

8x mages can devour 50 people in 3 gcd as there is no cap on aoe in classic, it is extremely best setup apart locks tbh in classic only limited by mana. I'd go gnome for 5% more int as well. Can also go for blastwave setup as well. Warlocks are good but can't burst large groups due to no aoe. As lock pally setup on the lv 30+ it's really easy to level due to hellfire setup being non interrupted from pally and lock talents.

Since horde has only 1 dispeller shodun't beissue but do know there is cap of 16 dots in classic and 8 locks can can only do agony plus corruption and your cap is full.

Overall, locks are best for smaller group i think and mages are better for groups of 6+ and above.

Mages with support. No other class has the same capacity for instant area damage when stacked past 5 accounts. Blink in, drop sapper charges and spam arcane explosion and you could kill a raid. I wouldn't play mages in a 5 box personally but once you start stacking them up to 7-8+ you have the damage to kill almost anything in a 1-2 GCD's.

The support is another question. You could go with 2 teams of 1 priest, 4 mages which seems to be having some success in the low-mid level dungeons or you could add a paladin so you have a tank option that can switch to heals for PvP.

How would you correctly aim all your mages AoE like Blizzard without losing too much time? I'm running 5x mages at the moment and that is a major issue for me, so much that now I just use a macro to cast on self.

Don't use blizzard in PvP except maybe rank 1 to try getting a rogue out of stealth.

Just spam arcane explosion or cycle frost nova and then CoC for burst. Arcane explosion is much higher DPS than blizzard, can be cast while moving and can't be interrupted.

Ravno, but i'm not the guild master, it's Stridsberg. We have a discord here : https://discord.gg/VTBSKc
Or you can /who Overkill in game and wisp one of the member of the guild.

Apatheist got it right. Additionall, you can go arcane power and PI if you run power infusion and do 50% more dmg on any spell. You can also go blastwave paired with arcane explosion too but Arcane explosion is the best spell in game with stacked mages. I mean, with descentish spell power it can hit for 600,700 per application. Given that most classes have 4k hp (with solid gear) you can kill them in 1 gcd, perhaps 2.

You blink to people arcane explosion>gg. For single targets you can arcane missles, fireblast if they are far away or scorch.

Any tip on how to level up 10 chars at once? I find this almost impossible. Collecting quests are hours long, dungeons exp is really minimal.
