8 comps
SWarrior / Holy Paladin
The beginner-friendly powerhouse. Blessing of Freedom turns the warrior into an un-kiteable Mortal Strike machine, and the paladin is nearly unkillable. If you want a high floor, start here.
A5s 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.
AWarrior / 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.
AWLD (Warrior / Lock / Druid)
Warrior/Lock pressure married to Druid mobility and Cyclone. Constant Mortal Strike + DoT damage while the druid kites and locks the enemy healer out with Cyclone. Strong cleave with real staying power.
AWMP (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.
B5s 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.
BResto Druid / Warrior
A mobile, high-skill comp. The druid kites and HoTs while Cyclone locks the enemy healer out of a kill; the warrior applies Mortal Strike pressure. Rewards elite kiting, punishes everything else.
BTSG (Warrior / Warrior / Shaman)
'Double warrior.' The TBC stand-in for melee cleave: two warriors train a target with instant Mortal Strike pressure while a Resto Shaman keeps them up. Ignores CC setups, gets kited by casters. High floor, capped ceiling.
