MageDruidB

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.

MLP (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.
