Hi guys,
I’m doing the daily tasks for Mercenaries on most days and as you know there are several higher tasks that require a lot of specified damage. Therefore, I was looking for good specified compositions for PvE. For example I currently use
Fire: Ragnaros, Antonidas, Baron Geddon / Cariel Roame, Xyrella, Blademaster Samuro
Nature: Malfurion, Bru’kan, Guff / Lady Anakondra, Xyrella, Blademaster Samuro
And there are probably also good compositions for Shadow Damage, Holy Damage, Beasts, … Unfortunately, guides and youtube videos are mainly from the first days of Mercenaries or referring to PvP content. So I would like to ask you if you have further good compositions for PvE?
Thank you and best regards!
I like to find a good dragon combo for Wrathion and Sinestra
Cookie combos with nearly eveything… In completeing most tasks.

For the dailies I usually get by just mashing all that day’s mercs together and slugging it out. Some days are easier and more rewarding than others; some are tedious as heck.
Today, 3 of the dailies were Task 16 and required 900 dmg vs Prots. Two runs at H B5 (Proudhoof) and I cleared the board.
I think your fire comp is probably the strongest general-purpose, particularly when you don’t need to put any other merc up front.
If you do need something random up front, it is usually easy to fit into Cariel, Samuro, Xyrella.
As someone else said cookie (giving start of game extra health) is auto-include unless you need the room for something else.
Budget AoE: Milhouse, Varden, Krush (using ability #1 for all three makes fight fast, if content is not too tough).
Holy: Anduin, Velen, Cariel
Shadow: Vol’jin, Natalie, Tamsin
Beast: Krush, Mukla, Anacondra
Demon (or Fel): Rathorian, Diablo, Gul’dan, Jaraxxus
Orc: 3 or more from Thrall, Garrosh, Saurfang, Rokara, Grommash, Samuro
If you are stuck on a boss fight, Old Guardian has youtube videos on heroic pve content, including AV.
Thank you very much, in particular Erd! These are the kind of compositions that I was looking for. If you have more or just want to share the compositions that you are usually running, please dont hesitate to post them 
I’d go with Rexxar over Anacondra (especially if you have his +x/+x to Beasts equip), but Anacondra works.
Uther is IMO better for Holy than Cariel, but if you don’t have him Cariel is an OK substitute.
Both Arcane and Frost are fairly limited (though Frost did get a buff with the new mercs).
For Arcane you basically just have Millhouse and Tyrande with a side dish of Blink Fox. Both Millhouse and Tyrande are freebies from the tutorial.
Frost has Dawngrasp, Jaina, Lich King and now Lokholar, ie. two Rare and two Legendaries.
i’ve found the most frustrating tasks can be cheesed with cookie,as long as you finish killing the opponent with one of the generated fish on board the match doesn’t end. so you can keep generating fish and use them for deathblow tasks, and kill x number of minions with specific skill tasks. its not always fool-proof but has worked for me.
WingedKagout: Uther is great with Velen and another merc that does Holy. Comboing Velen’s holy repeat with Avenging Wrath does quite a lot damage (not to mention it just melts the last Felwood boss.
By the way did anyone find a good way to use Voone? He doesn’t fit anywhere for me. A “deal damage” attack, fire breath that may be usable with dragons and a summon. If he was a Dragon himself, then he would fit in a Dragon party.
