10 comps
AJungle Cleave (Feral / Hunter / Shaman)
Jungle Cleave is the double-melee bruiser of the physical bracket: a Feral cat and a Beast-Mastery hunter chase one target while a Resto Shaman keeps them topped and drops totems to blunt enemy CC. It wins by never letting the kill target breathe — Feral Charge, pet uptime and a stacked burst window mean the pressure simply does not come off. Its identity is relentless, layered melee damage backed by more CC than any pure cleave has a right to.
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.
AWLD (Warrior / Lock / Druid)
Warrior/Lock pressure married to Druid mobility and Cyclone. Constant Mortal Strike + DoT damage while the druid kites and locks the enemy healer out with Cyclone. Strong cleave with real staying power.
AWMP (Warrior / Mage / Priest)
Trade RMP's rogue for a warrior: less CC on the kill target, more raw burst and healing pressure. Shatter + Mortal Strike stacks huge damage while Poly and Mana Burn lock the enemy healer.
