9 comps
RMP (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.
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.
Frost 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.
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.
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.
Mage / Holy Paladin
Mage/Holy Paladin is the patient control comp of the 2s bracket: two of the best CC toolkits in the game stapled to the strongest single-target healer. You rarely burst anyone down — instead you kite, Polymorph, and Mana Burn until the enemy healer is out of gas, then delete their partner in one frozen window. It is a grind, not a race.
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.
