5s Beast/Hunter Cleave (2347)

Beast/Hunter Cleave is a ranged burst comp built around the hunter's Beast Within window: a CC-immune nuke phase backed by Elemental Shaman and Destro Warlock damage, all propped up by a disc priest and holy paladin. It hits like a truck for eighteen seconds and refuses to die afterward. If the opener doesn't kill, the double-healer backbone lets you reset and go again.

Jungle 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.

Beastcleave / 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.

Hunter / Disc Priest

Hunter/Disc Priest is a patient attrition comp that wins by strangling the enemy healer's mana rather than out-bursting the lobby. The hunter kites at range chipping away with Viper Sting while the priest layers Mana Burn, and when the enemy pool runs dry a single Bestial Wrath window ends the game. It is a control comp that rewards discipline, map awareness, and knowing exactly when to commit your cooldowns.

PHP (Paladin / Hunter / Priest)

A burst-and-control 3s: Ret + Hunter stack a big damage window while the priest and hunter traps lock the enemy healer. Freedom keeps the Ret on target. Strong burst, beatable by patient control.
