12 comps
Rogue / Resto Druid
The definitive control team of Season 2. A Subtlety Rogue and a Resto Druid don't out-damage anyone — they out-CC, out-reset, and out-last them, chaining stuns and Cyclones until the enemy healer is drier than a Silithus riverbed. Nearly unkillable, endlessly patient, and miserable to play against.
5s Caster Cleave
The ranged-control 5s archetype: stacked casters (mage + lock + shadow priest) layering Poly, Fear, and Cyclone behind a healer core. Kites melee cleave and kills through control — high ceiling, high coordination.
LSD (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.
MLD (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.
RLD (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.
RMD (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.
Shatterplay (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.
Feral Druid / Rogue
A double-stealth burst comp that wins by never letting the enemy out of a stun. Both players open from the shadows and overlap stuns to delete a target inside one window, before a healer can react. It is one of the highest-skill, most gear-hungry double-DPS comps in the bracket — all ceiling, little forgiveness.
Hunter / Resto Druid
Hunter/Druid is the purest kite-and-drain comp in the bracket: a Beast Mastery hunter who never stops moving and a Restoration druid who Cyclones the healer into oblivion. You don't blow teams up — you starve them, chip them, and reset until the mana bar hits zero. It's a control clinic that punishes anyone who can't catch you.
Mage / Resto Druid
A pure control comp: the Frost Mage builds crowd-control chains while the Resto Druid HoTs through everything and drops Cyclones to fill the gaps. You don't out-damage anyone — you out-CC them, opening a window where the Water Elemental and a Nova'd target simply cannot be saved. Every game is a puzzle of Polymorph, Cyclone, and roots.
Resto Druid / Warrior
A mobile, high-skill comp. The druid kites and HoTs while Cyclone locks the enemy healer out of a kill; the warrior applies Mortal Strike pressure. Rewards elite kiting, punishes everything else.
Double-Healer Hunter (Hunter / Priest / Druid)
A defensive fortress built to win the long game. Two healers keep everyone standing while the hunter drains mana with Viper Sting and traps the enemy out of every kill window. You don't burst teams down — you starve them out and grind until they crack.
