5 comps
BBeastcleave / KFC (Warrior / Hunter / Paladin)
KFC is TBC's iconic melee cleave: an Arms warrior and a Beast Mastery hunter share two overlapping healing debuffs and dump every cooldown on one target while a Holy Paladin keeps them topped. It wins by making a kill target un-healable, then bursting it down inside a stun. The moment it gets kited and controlled instead of getting to press, it falls apart.
BDouble-Healer Warrior (Warrior / Shaman / Paladin)
The purest attrition comp in the bracket: one Arms Warrior grinding a target while a Restoration Shaman and Holy Paladin refuse to let anyone die. You don't out-burst opponents — you out-last them, riding Mortal Strike pressure and two full mana bars until the enemy healer runs dry or panics. Tier B because a single peeled Warrior is a comp with no offense at all.
BRetcleave (Warrior / Ret / Shaman)
Retcleave is TSG's controlling cousin: an Arms Warrior and a Ret Paladin train a target while a Resto Shaman sustains, but the paladin trades a second warrior for Repentance, Hammer of Justice, and Freedom. Less raw instant damage than double-warrior, far more healer lockdown and burst on demand. A high-floor cleave that actually sets up its kills.
BTSG (Warrior / Warrior / Shaman)
'Double warrior.' The TBC stand-in for melee cleave: two warriors train a target with instant Mortal Strike pressure while a Resto Shaman keeps them up. Ignores CC setups, gets kited by casters. High floor, capped ceiling.
BWarrior Cleave (Arms / Fury / Paladin)
Two warriors, one Mortal Strike debuff that never falls off, and the sturdiest healer in the game standing behind them. Warrior Cleave doesn't out-think anyone — it picks a target, glues both swords to it, and dares the enemy healer to keep up through 50% healing reduction and relentless snares. When the swap lands and the cooldowns pop, people simply die between globals.
