5s Melee Cleave

The default competitive 5s archetype: stacked melee burst (warrior + rogue) behind two or three healers. 5s in TBC is less rigid than 2s/3s — think in team archetypes, and melee cleave is the highest-floor one.

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.
