11 comps

RogueMagePriestS

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.

Control
RoguePriestS

Rogue / Disc Priest

The premier 2v2 comp of TBC. The rogue controls the game with stuns and Blind while the priest out-sustains and Mana Burns any healer to zero. If you want the highest 2s ceiling, this is it.

Burst
WarlockPriestS

Warlock / Disc Priest

'Lockarena.' Double-Fear control makes the enemy team play in slow motion while UA and DoTs tick them down and Mana Burn/dispel keep you ahead. The highest control ceiling in 2s.

Control
MageWarlockPriestPaladinDruidA

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.

Control
WarriorRoguePaladinPriestShamanA

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.

Cleave
MagePriestA

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.

Control
PriestRogueA

Shadow Priest / Rogue

'Shadow cleave lite.' Two burst dealers with no real healer — you kill fast or you lose. When the rogue's stun lines up with the priest's Shadow burst, almost nothing survives the window.

Burst
WarriorPriestA

Warrior / Disc Priest

More proactive than Warrior/Paladin — the priest brings Fear, dispels, and Mana Burn so you can both kill through peels and win the long game. Higher ceiling, lower floor.

Cleave
WarriorMagePriestA

WMP (Warrior / Mage / Priest)

Trade RMP's rogue for a warrior: less CC on the kill target, more raw burst and healing pressure. Shatter + Mortal Strike stacks huge damage while Poly and Mana Burn lock the enemy healer.

Burst
WarriorMagePriestPaladinDruidB

5s Double-Healer Control

The attrition archetype: a healer-heavy core with a warrior + mage for pressure and CC. You almost never lose a teammate first and grind the enemy out — but you need a real kill condition to close, not just survive.

Sustain
PaladinHunterPriestB

PHP (Paladin / Hunter / Priest)

A burst-and-control 3s: Ret + Hunter stack a big damage window while the priest and hunter traps lock the enemy healer. Freedom keeps the Ret on target. Strong burst, beatable by patient control.
