Starting new team.

[Gaupz]

Ok so iam going to be starting a new four man team.
What iam looking for:
1: Great casting power
2: not shaman(already have four)
3: going to pvp at 85(no pve)
4: basically a caster that is as fun to play as shamans, i was thinking maybe balance druids but i really haven't been multiboxing along time and don't know what is good

Druids are fun, but they're not that strong of a compostion.
They're not horrible or useless, but cannot heal in Boomkin form and have utter crap defenses outside of Moonkin.
They do put out fairly impressive AoE power, are capable of stealth to pass choke points.
Balance can powershift (Moonkin to Moonkin) to break root and snare effects, not just snares.

I might consider 4x Resto Druids.
You have a lot of healing power, and enough DPS (Insect Swarm glyphed x4, Moonfire x4, mana-free Wrath spam) to dot up a lot of stuff.
Plus you would survive a ton of things, and can powershift in any form out of roots, plus cleanse curse/poison/magic.
Not the offensive powerhouse, but would rock support in larger scale BG's.



If you want casters, I'd probably go Demonology Warlocks, possibly Affliction for the superb self healing through drains and talented corruption and haunt.
Hellfire plus Immolation Aura, absolutely destroys any melee opposition including boxers.
Felguards with their Cleave is pretty good too.



Still looking at Caster teams...
Shadow Priests should be pretty nasty, or alternatively Disc once you have a fair bit of gear, is the most offensive of the healers.
Not sure that 4x Shadow would have the healing, but 3x Shadow and 1x Holy or Disc should for sure.



Mage has massive control as Frost.
They have freezes on four different diminishing returns.
Extra damage vs frozen targets.
For PvP... you'd blow just about anything up, very quickly... sure Frost is the lowest damage spec, but you have four of them.

They removed powershifting last patch I believe, maybe the one before that. Sucks I know.

For casters, I'd say:

5x Boomkin - Tons of Starfall is literally an insta-kill button. When I was 5x booms pre-Cata, I could literally wipe the entire alliance team with 1 button. No kidding. 15 Treants is pretty damn OP too.

5x Priest - Spec for huge Holy Nova. You can glyph it to have a 1/2 second GCD, basically making it spammable. Since Holy Nova is now affecting ANYBODY who needs the heal (not party or raid wide, its anybody) you can get some absolutely ridiculous heal per second, while actually doing good DPS. If you spec shadow w/GCD glyph you can actually cast shadowword: death, and holy nova spam, almost endlessly due to 10% mana of SW:d.

5x Prot Pally: 5x of those shield throws I think would 1-hit 3 people at once, right? Since at 85 it does around 25% of your total HP, 5 of them should 1 hit 3 people.
