Overview
WMP is a burst comp with strong healer control. The mage sets up a Shatter combo while the warrior lands Mortal Strike, so a single Nova window can stack enormous damage on a target. The priest layers Polymorph/Fear/Mana Burn to keep the enemy healer off the kill.
Compared to RMP it has less lockdown on the kill target (no Sap/Blind/Cheap Shot chain) but higher raw burst and better sustain from the warrior. It's more forgiving to pilot while keeping much of the ceiling.
Win condition
Land a Shatter combo + Mortal Strike burst on a target while the enemy healer is Polymorphed/Feared, killing before the CC breaks.
Strengths
- +Massive burst: Shatter combo + Mortal Strike in one window
- +Sheep + Fear + Mana Burn give strong healer control
- +More forgiving than RMP with similar burst
Weaknesses
- −Priest squishier than a shaman/paladin under cleave
- −Kited comps can juke the warrior's uptime
Cooldown timeline
Poly the healer → mage Frostbolt → Frost Nova → Shatter combo + Icy Veins while the warrior pops Recklessness/Death Wish + trinket with Mortal Strike up. Priest Mana Burns/Fears to extend the lockout. Reset with Ice Block/Fear.
Positioning
Mage + priest pillar for LoS; warrior trains the kill target. Peel the priest from enemy melee so the CC chain holds.
Vs. the meta
RLS out-pressures your squishier priest. Poly the rogue on the swap, Mana Burn the shaman, and Spell Reflect the warlock Fear so your priest survives to control.
Gear requirements
- ▸Priest: resilience + Mana Burn throughput
- ▸Warrior weapon-first; mage needs a lethal Shatter
Tips
- •Stack the burst — the warrior's Mortal Strike must be up for the Shatter kill.
- •Sheep the healer, not the DPS, for kill setups.
- •Spell Reflect Fears/Polys aimed at your team.
