18 comps
Rogue / Resto Druid
The definitive control team of Season 2. A Subtlety Rogue and a Resto Druid don't out-damage anyone — they out-CC, out-reset, and out-last them, chaining stuns and Cyclones until the enemy healer is drier than a Silithus riverbed. Nearly unkillable, endlessly patient, and miserable to play against.
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.
Jungle Cleave (Feral / Hunter / Shaman)
Jungle Cleave is the double-melee bruiser of the physical bracket: a Feral cat and a Beast-Mastery hunter chase one target while a Resto Shaman keeps them topped and drops totems to blunt enemy CC. It wins by never letting the kill target breathe — Feral Charge, pet uptime and a stacked burst window mean the pressure simply does not come off. Its identity is relentless, layered melee damage backed by more CC than any pure cleave has a right to.
LSD (Lock / Shaman / Druid)
A control-attrition comp that got stronger as TBC went on. Elemental Shaman utility + double Fear + Cyclone create relentless control while DoTs grind the enemy out. Wins the long game against almost anyone.
MLD (Mage / Lock / Druid)
A pure caster-control comp. Polymorph, Fear, and Cyclone layer into near-permanent lockdown while DoTs and Shatter combos kill. Dizzying to play and to play against — a control clinic when piloted well.
RLD (Rogue / Lock / Druid)
RLD is the patient control comp: a Subtlety Rogue dictating tempo, an Affliction Warlock rotting both targets while draining their mana, and a Resto Druid who simply refuses to die. You don't need a 3-second kill — you need one clean Blind-and-Cyclone chain on their healer while the DoTs and drains have already put the enemy team into triage.
RMD (Rogue / Mage / Druid)
RMD is RMP's patient cousin: trade the priest's dispels and shields for a Resto Druid's Cyclone, rolling HoTs, and best-in-class mobility. It's a control comp that suffocates opponents with overlapping crowd control and simply refuses to run out of mana. You don't out-burst the room — you out-last it, then collapse on a kill when the CC finally lines up.
Shatterplay (Mage / Shadow Priest / Druid)
Shadow Priest's flagship comp and the caster answer to RMP. The Shadow Priest sets up with Silence and Mind Blast, the Frost Mage delivers the Shatter combo, and the Resto Druid layers Cyclone for a second hard CC. Pure setup control with two schools of instant crowd control instead of one.
Warlock / Resto Druid
The definitive sustain team of Season 2: an SL/SL Affliction Warlock and a Resto Druid who simply refuse to die. You don't burst anyone down — you blanket the enemy in rot, chain-Fear their healer into oblivion, and win the mana game every single time.
WLD (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.
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.
Feral Druid / Rogue
A double-stealth burst comp that wins by never letting the enemy out of a stun. Both players open from the shadows and overlap stuns to delete a target inside one window, before a healer can react. It is one of the highest-skill, most gear-hungry double-DPS comps in the bracket — all ceiling, little forgiveness.
Hunter / Resto Druid
Hunter/Druid is the purest kite-and-drain comp in the bracket: a Beast Mastery hunter who never stops moving and a Restoration druid who Cyclones the healer into oblivion. You don't blow teams up — you starve them, chip them, and reset until the mana bar hits zero. It's a control clinic that punishes anyone who can't catch you.
Mage / Resto Druid
A pure control comp: the Frost Mage builds crowd-control chains while the Resto Druid HoTs through everything and drops Cyclones to fill the gaps. You don't out-damage anyone — you out-CC them, opening a window where the Water Elemental and a Nova'd target simply cannot be saved. Every game is a puzzle of Polymorph, Cyclone, and roots.
Resto 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.
Ret Paladin / Resto Druid
'Ret/Druid.' A sustain-and-control comp that wins by outlasting: the druid rolls HoTs and chains Cyclone/Roots/Bash while the Ret adds Repentance and a Hammer of Justice stun. Blessing of Sacrifice and Freedom keep the druid free, and layered CC on the enemy healer eventually forces the kill.
Double-Healer Hunter (Hunter / Priest / Druid)
A defensive fortress built to win the long game. Two healers keep everyone standing while the hunter drains mana with Viper Sting and traps the enemy out of every kill window. You don't burst teams down — you starve them out and grind until they crack.
Turbocleave (Warrior / Enhance / Druid)
Turbocleave is the purest expression of raw melee tempo in Season 2: an Arms Warrior and an Enhancement Shaman glue themselves to one target while a Resto Druid keeps them topped. It has no setup, no CC chains, and no plan B. You simply hit one thing so hard, so fast, that the enemy healer runs out of mana or globals before your Druid does.
