Weekly Trending

 

Overall Movement:

95.5 percentage points

 

Largest Mover:

Warrior, which lost 18.4% representation from last week.

 

Hot Streaks (Top Two):

• Warlock: 5 Week Winning Streak

• Hunter & Paladin: 3 Week Winning Streak
  

 

Surprising Facts:

• Warlocks and Rogues are in the same position balance wise
  

  

Next Week Predictions:

• With overall movement coming down this week, I expect even less movement next week

• Warlocks will overtake Rogues and Mages next week and become the 6th best class

• Hunters & Warlocks seem to counter Warriors, so if Hunters & Warlocks continue to do well, Warriors might continue to have trouble

Weekly Trending

  

Overall Movement:

164.4 percentage points

 

Largest Mover:

Warlock, which gained 32.2% from last week.

   

Surprising Facts:

• Shamans are threatening Paladins as the most represented class

• Death Knights are the most balanced in representation

• Warriors have the worst representation by far

• Paladins have yet to drop in representation as the game slows
  

 Week to Week Winning Streak (Top Two)

• Shaman 5 Week Winning Streak
  

• Warlock 4 Week Winning Streak

 Next Week Predictions:

• Rogues & Mages both saw a solid decrease from last week, and Hunters are now over represented, as I predicted
  

• Hunters will continue to gain slowly week by week until some changes are made to the Hunter class or other DPS classes

• Warlocks will continue to gain as the game slows

Weekly Trending

 

Overall Movement:

135.9 percentage points

 

Largest Mover:

Warlock, which gained 22.6% from last week.

  

Surprising Facts:

• Hunters are the most balanced class, followed closely by Mages

• Death Knights are under represented in the Top 100

• Rogues and Mages were both trending downward this week (before 3.0.9)

Next Week Predictions:

•  Rogues and Mages will continue their downward trending due to 3.0.9 nerfs
• This will cause Mages to be under balanced and switch to Frost (I hope not, Frost Mages are ridiculous)

• Hunters will be over represented by next week (no nerfs in 3.0.9)  

•  As the game slows down a bit, due to 3.0.9, Paladins lose a bit of their representation

Weekly Trending

 

Largest Mover:

Shaman, which gained 41.8% from last week.

 

Overall Movement:

230.9 percentage points

 

Tons of movement, most likely because of the Arena Rating mechanic changes which allowed more movement in ranks.  The 3.0.8 changes are starting to show.

  

  

 

Surprising Facts:

• Death Knights are now the most balanced class.  

• Warriors are worse off than Warlocks.

• Rogues are starting to challenge Paladins as most powerful class.
