[Zyrus]

looks like warlocks needs a buff.
blasphemy.

[Delzoun]

once again, paladins are totally screwed in arguably the funnest brackets 2,3.

I know on the EU servers in 2v2 I seem to be coming up against duel DPS Squads. 3v3 Shammies / Druids are the prefered healers.

he divides by TOTAL wow population vs just population of people that PVP.

so this chart is beyond wrong. high pop classes benefit like warriors from looking insanly overpopulated because of the large number of tanks.

Ha HAHA HAHAHAHAHAHAH

I'm sorry thanks for the laugh. High number of tanks? Apparently pally's and druids can't tank. If by tanks you're refering to warriors that argument is completely false. Tanks and healers are the lowest population in this game.

Wrong, for the June set of stats I haven't posted normalised data. The last time I posted those was in April.

Normalised data does have its value, but it is just a small part of the puzzle, you have to take both the raw and normalised data into account and that just gives you a starting point. It is because people mis-understand the value of the normalised data that I have just dropped it for now.

[Krispin149]

this data saddens me, and it will only lead to unnecessary buff/nerfs of certain classes.

hunters are simply low due to all the china farmers actually not bothering with arena.

Or because you actually need to be extremely good at playing your hunter to success in high rated arena. And that is something that around 1% of the hunter population manage to do.
