5 comps
SRLS (Rogue / Lock / Shaman)
The premier pressure comp. Where RMP sets up, RLS just applies — constant DoTs, Fear, and rogue pressure with a Resto Shaman that refuses to die. Trades RMP's control ceiling for a higher floor and better cleave matchups.
ARLD (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.
ARLP (Rogue / Lock / Priest)
RLP trades the mage's burst for a warlock's grinding attrition. It's a control comp that wins by never letting the pressure drop: Rogue lockdown, Warlock DoTs and fear, and a Disc Priest with double dispel keeping the train rolling until the enemy healer runs dry.
BRogue / Warlock
Rogue/Warlock is a double-DPS tunnel comp that wins by chaining control across every diminishing-returns bracket while the Warlock's dots bleed a pinned target out. There is no true burst here — outside a lucky Nightfall Shadow Bolt, you kill with relentless pressure, not a single global — so every kill is a CC chain you built by hand. Land the opener and the game is often decided in the first twenty seconds; whiff it and you reset and try again.
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.
