Trending:
  • Paladins remain the best class in 2v2, 3v3 and 5v5 by a landslide
  • Death Knights remain 2nd best class by far in 2v2 and 3v3; however in 5v5 DK's seem to be balanced at the moment
  • Warlocks continue to be the absolute worst class in 2v2, 3v3 and 5v5
  • Mages & Rogues continue to perform well, but are still solidly underneath the Paladins and DK's in 2v2, 3v3 and 5v5

Thoughts:

I know 3.0.8 has some major nerfs for Unholy Death Knights which might be enough to bring DKs down a bit.  Retribution Paladins, come 3.0.8, are getting a decent nerf with not being able to use Avenging Wrath and Divine Shield at the same time (30 second debuff).

I still think having Divine Shield and Hand of Protection make the Paladin class way too powerful with the amount of burst currently, and something would have to be done to one of those two "bubbles" to make them more balanced.

I hope blizzard gets on the ball and gets some quick fixes to help Warlocks out in Arena for the short term, until they can make those long term adjustments.
