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.

Double-Healer Warrior (Warrior / Shaman / Paladin)

The purest attrition comp in the bracket: one Arms Warrior grinding a target while a Restoration Shaman and Holy Paladin refuse to let anyone die. You don't out-burst opponents — you out-last them, riding Mortal Strike pressure and two full mana bars until the enemy healer runs dry or panics. Tier B because a single peeled Warrior is a comp with no offense at all.

Ret Paladin / Resto Shaman

A pure burst comp built to delete a target inside one Windfury-and-Bloodlust window before the enemy healer can react. The Ret hits like a truck under Judgement and Crusader Strike, the Shaman pockets him with Earth Shield and Grounding Totem, and the whole game is about landing that one explosive swing. No Mortal Strike means you win in seconds or not at all.

Retcleave (Warrior / Ret / Shaman)

Retcleave is TSG's controlling cousin: an Arms Warrior and a Ret Paladin train a target while a Resto Shaman sustains, but the paladin trades a second warrior for Repentance, Hammer of Justice, and Freedom. Less raw instant damage than double-warrior, far more healer lockdown and burst on demand. A high-floor cleave that actually sets up its kills.

Warrior / Resto Shaman

Horde cleave at its most direct: Windfury Totem and Bloodlust turn the arms warrior's Mortal Strike into an instant-kill window while a Resto Shaman refuses to die behind Earth Shield and totems. Purge strips the enemy healer bare between swaps. It trains and swaps rather than kites, so control comps that lock the shaman down are the entire problem to solve.

Turbocleave (Warrior / Enhance / Druid)

Turbocleave is the purest expression of raw melee tempo in Season 2: an Arms Warrior and an Enhancement Shaman glue themselves to one target while a Resto Druid keeps them topped. It has no setup, no CC chains, and no plan B. You simply hit one thing so hard, so fast, that the enemy healer runs out of mana or globals before your Druid does.
