7 comps
ALSD (Lock / Shaman / Druid)
A control-attrition comp that got stronger as TBC went on. Elemental Shaman utility + double Fear + Cyclone create relentless control while DoTs grind the enemy out. Wins the long game against almost anyone.
AMLD (Mage / Lock / Druid)
A pure caster-control comp. Polymorph, Fear, and Cyclone layer into near-permanent lockdown while DoTs and Shatter combos kill. Dizzying to play and to play against — a control clinic when piloted well.
ARLD (Rogue / Lock / Druid)
RLD is the patient control comp: a Subtlety Rogue dictating tempo, an Affliction Warlock rotting both targets while draining their mana, and a Resto Druid who simply refuses to die. You don't need a 3-second kill — you need one clean Blind-and-Cyclone chain on their healer while the DoTs and drains have already put the enemy team into triage.
ARLP (Rogue / Lock / Priest)
RLP trades the mage's burst for a warlock's grinding attrition. It's a control comp that wins by never letting the pressure drop: Rogue lockdown, Warlock DoTs and fear, and a Disc Priest with double dispel keeping the train rolling until the enemy healer runs dry.
ARMD (Rogue / Mage / Druid)
RMD is RMP's patient cousin: trade the priest's dispels and shields for a Resto Druid's Cyclone, rolling HoTs, and best-in-class mobility. It's a control comp that suffocates opponents with overlapping crowd control and simply refuses to run out of mana. You don't out-burst the room — you out-last it, then collapse on a kill when the CC finally lines up.
AShadowplay / Drain (Shadow Priest / Lock / Shaman)
Shadowplay is the definitive TBC attrition comp: a Shadow Priest and Affliction Warlock blanket all three enemies in DoTs while Mana Burn bleeds the healer white, and a Resto Shaman makes the trio nearly unkillable. You don't burst anyone down — you fear, drain, and rot until the enemy healer is out of mana and the whole team collapses at once.
AShatterplay (Mage / Shadow Priest / Druid)
Shadow Priest's flagship comp and the caster answer to RMP. The Shadow Priest sets up with Silence and Mind Blast, the Frost Mage delivers the Shatter combo, and the Resto Druid layers Cyclone for a second hard CC. Pure setup control with two schools of instant crowd control instead of one.
