Largest Mover:

DK, which gained 31% representation from last month.

Most Unbalanced:

DK, which needs 112% boost in representation to be balanced (theoretically).

Surprising Facts / Observations / Predictions:

• Death Knights are slowly coming around, but still need a decent buff in some sort of way.

• All healing classes are doing too good (except for Druids).

• Rogues need a decent buff (probably to survivability).

  

Switching to a Month to Month Snapshot

Switching from the week to week snapshot to a month to month snapshot.  I'll try to keep it updated about once a month.

Largest Mover:
Hunter, which gained 78% representation from the middle of last season (week 10, when I stopped doing reports).

Hot Streak:
None yet.

Surprising Facts / Observations / Predictions:

• Hunters are finding comps that work in 2's, 3's and 5's (although Hunters could still use a minor buff)
  

• Death Knights are having immense trouble this season (at least in the 1st week)

• Priest and Paladins are looking a little too good, while Druids could use a bit of love

   

No more updates this Arena Season

Not going to update Arena Statistics anymore this season as it seems rather pointless.  I might pick it back up next season and maybe just do a monthly summary or something.  We'll see...
