Introduction
This guide was made in collaboration with multiple current Rank 1 Gladiators, but is designed to represent the entire arena ladder.
To help understand how these rankings work, we assume the following:
S tier comps are expected to have the highest winrate against equally skilled opponents.
A tier comps are expected to have positive winrates against equally skilled opponents.
B tier comps represent the “average” comp, and have a relatively equal distribution of winning and losing matchups
C tier comps are generally weak into the meta and are expected to lose against most higher tier comps
A visual representation can be found here.
Other important notes:
This list is an ongoing project and will be updated periodically
If you don’t see a comp listed, it MIGHT be weaker than C tier, but could also mean that it is too experimental to properly rank or simply an oversight.
For the most part, Resto Druid and Preservation Evoker can fit into any comp and do well, and “Preferred Healer(s)” represents what works best on average within a comp
S Tier 3v3 Comps
| Comp name | DPS 1 | DPS 2 | Preferred Healer(s) |
|---|---|---|---|
| RMX |  Subtlety Rogue |  Frost Mage |  Disc Priest |
| RMX | Subtlety Rogue |  Fire Mage | Disc Priest |
| RMX |  Assassination Rogue | Fire Mage | Disc Priest |
| LDX |  Destruction Warlock |  Balance Druid |     |
| MLX | Frost Mage | Destruction Warlock | |
| RLX | Assassination Rogue OR Subtlety Rogue | Destruction Warlock | |
At the moment, both RMX and RLX seem to be the most consistent comps in the meta. Each one of these setups have proven to excel in ranked 3v3, especially at the highest level. The Frost/Destro variation of MLX seems to be performing exceptionally well and is one of the reasons that no melee cleaves exist in S tier.
A+ Tier 3v3 Comps
| Comp name | DPS 1 | DPS 2 | Preferred Healer(s) |
| Turbo |  Enhancement Shaman |  Arms Warrior |  Mistweaver Monk |
| DH Destro |  Havoc Demon Hunter | Destruction Warlock | Restoration Shaman or Preservation Evoker |
| DH Boomkin | Havoc Demon Hunter | Balance Druid | Restoration Shaman or Preservation Evoker |
| Enhance Sub | Enhancement Shaman | Subtlety Rogue | Disc Priest |
| MLX (Demo) | Frost Mage |  Demonology Warlock | |
| Ele Destro |  Elemental Shaman | Destruction Warlock | |
| Ele Boomkin | Elemental Shaman | Balance Druid | |
| Mage Boomkin | Frost Mage | Balance Druid | |
The A+ tier includes a few different Demon Hunter and Warlock setups. Both of these DPS continue to do well in meta, despite a few key nerfs in prior patches.
A Tier 3v3 Comps
| Comp name | DPS 1 | DPS 2 | Preferred Healer(s) |
| Owlplay |  Shadow Priest | Balance Druid | Restoration Shaman |
| Shadowplay | Shadow Priest | Destruction Warlock | Restoration Shaman |
| RMPal | Subtlety Rogue | Fire Mage | Holy Paladin |
| FLS |  Feral Druid | Destruction Warlock | Restoration Shaman |
| RMX |  Outlaw Rogue | Fire Mage | Disc Priest |
| Thugcleave |  Survival Hunter | Subtlety Rogue | Disc Priest |
| Jungle |  Beast Mastery or Survival Hunter | Feral Druid | Disc Priest |
| Mage Boomkin | Frost Mage | Balance Druid | |
The A tier includes comps that perform above average but tend to struggle into Subtlety Rogues and other higher tier comps.
B Tier 3v3 Comps
| Comp name | DPS 1 | DPS 2 | Preferred Healer(s) |
| RMX |  Arcane | Subtlety Rogue | Disc Priest |
| Dev DK (Frost) |  Frost Death Knight |  Devastation Evoker | Disc Priest |
| Ret War | Arms Warrior |  Retribution Paladin | |
| LDX |  Affliction Warlock | Balance Druid | |
| WW Boomkin |  Windwalker Monk | Balance Druid | |
| WW Destro | Windwalker Monk | Destruction Warlock | |
The B tier includes many off-spec variations of A tier comps, including Arcane Mage and Affliction Warlock setups. Again, this tier is meant to represent the “average” comp and is neither too good or too bad to excel in the current meta. Many of these comps are being played actively at Rank 1 levels, despite noticeable weaknesses.
C Tier 3v3 Comps
| Comp name | DPS 1 | DPS 2 | Preferred Healer(s) |
| WW DK |  Unholy Death Knight | Windwalker Monk | Mistweaver Monk |
| TSG | Unholy Death Knight |  Fury Warrior | Mistweaver Monk |
C tier comps are generally underperforming and include some of the lower tier DPS (Unholy Death knight). While some people might find success with some of these setups, they are generally inconsistent into the majority of higher tier comps.
