9 comps
SRMP (Rogue / Mage / Priest)
The iconic TBC 3s comp. Sap, Sheep, and Blind chain the enemy healer out of the game while the mage's Shatter combo and the rogue's stunlock delete a DPS. Pure setup, pure control, highest skill ceiling.
A5s 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.
A5s Shadowplay Plus
Shadowplay Plus takes the shadow priest and elemental shaman core and bolts on a frost mage, destruction warlock and holy paladin for a five-caster wall of ranged burst. It kills through raw instant damage stacked into one global, backed by a silence chain no single healer survives. When the burst is peeled, it simply mana-burns the enemy healer into the floor instead.
AFrost Mage / Disc Priest
The anti-melee comp. A Frost Mage kites warriors and rogues into oblivion while Polymorph and Mana Burn dismantle healer teams. Shatter burst finishes anyone who gets caught in a Nova.
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.
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.
B5s Double-Healer Control
The attrition archetype: a healer-heavy core with a warrior + mage for pressure and CC. You almost never lose a teammate first and grind the enemy out — but you need a real kill condition to close, not just survive.
BMLP (Mage / Lock / Priest)
MLP is caster control with a disc priest instead of a druid. Polymorph, Fear, and Psychic Scream chain the enemy into permanent lockdown while the mage's Shatter combo and the priest's Mana Burn give it two independent ways to win. Trades MLD's kiting for harder healer control and a real drain game.
C5s DPS Zerg
The all-in 5s archetype: four DPS (arms warrior, sub rogue, frost mage, SL/SL warlock) stacked behind a single discipline priest. You don't win the long game — you CC the enemy healer, dump every cooldown on one target, and delete them before your lone healer runs dry.
