TSG (Warrior / Warrior / Shaman) — TBC Arena 3s Guide

CleaveDifficulty Season 2

'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.

Overview

TSG is the melee-cleave archetype in TBC 3s: two warriors apply instant, un-setup-able pressure while a Resto Shaman sustains them. Because your damage is all instant melee, you ignore the CC chains that setup comps rely on — you just charge in and train.

The weakness is range: caster-control comps (RMP, MLD, LSD) kite and CC you out of every kill. Against them you have to peel for your shaman and pick your swaps carefully. Into other cleaves and pressure comps, your raw burst dominates.

Win condition

Train a target with double Mortal Strike pressure and coordinated Intercept swaps until it dies, ignoring the enemy's CC setup with instant melee damage.

Strengths

  • +Overwhelming instant burst that ignores enemy CC setups
  • +Two Mortal Strikes shut down enemy healing
  • +Very simple game plan — train and swap

Weaknesses

  • −Kited and controlled by caster comps (RMP, MLD)
  • −Shaman with no hard peel can be bursted or CC'd off the team

Cooldown timeline

Both warriors charge the kill target → Mortal Strike + Recklessness/Death Wish + trinkets stacked in one window. Intercept-swap to a caster if peeled. Shaman keeps Earth Shield rolling, Grounds the CC, Nature's Swiftness to survive burst.

Positioning

Warriors stick to the target and cover the shaman; shaman uses Frost Shock/Earthbind and totems to peel. Don't let the shaman get isolated by a caster team.

Vs. the meta

vs RMP (Rogue / Mage / Priest)Guide →

RMP kites and chain-CCs you. Split the warriors to pressure both mage and priest, Spell Reflect the key CC, and peel for the shaman with Intercept/Hamstring on the rogue.

Gear requirements

  • ▸Both warriors: weapon + resilience first
  • ▸Shaman: resilience + mp5 and Earth Shield uptime

Tips

  • •Spell Reflect is your anti-caster button — reflect Poly/Fear.
  • •Peel for the shaman first; if the shaman lives, you win the trade.
  • •Swap on a bad opener rather than tunneling into a peel.
