6 comps
RLS (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.
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.
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.
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.
Rogue / Holy Paladin
Ride the tankiest healer in the bracket. The paladin's Freedom and Blessing of Protection keep the rogue glued to a target while the paladin simply refuses to die. Strong into cleaves, weaker into Mana Burn.
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.
