Largest Mover:

Rogue & Hunter, which gained 19% representation from last week.

   

Hot Streak:

None

   

Surprising Facts / Observations / Predictions:

• Rogues gaining more representation was not something I predicted (as they have been sliding in representation for the last few weeks)

• Priests also gained representation this week after sliding for a few weeks

• I figure that Rogues are balanced (long term) as when Hunters gain representation Rogues have the most to lose in representation and will move towards balanced (as long as Hunters are gaining in representation)

Surprising Facts / Observations / Predictions:

• Paladins are back up at the top and sitting pretty, they probably need a nerf to start edging towards balanced
  

• Rogues continue to fall in representation and are now getting very close to balanced

• Hunters, Warlocks and Mages continue to do poorly and need a good dose of buff about now (especially Hunters)

• Priests are sliding in representation every week and will probably be balanced in about a month

Largest Mover:

Hot Streak:

Druid / Warrior: 3 Week Winning Streak

   

Surprising Facts / Observations / Predictions:

• Warriors are now over represented, but are getting some nerfs in an upcoming patch, this may help them stabilize and sit around their representation

• Rogues are falling in representation every week; if it continues on the current pace, Rogues will be balanced in 2 weeks

• Paladins are gaining ground as Priests lose ground in representation; if Priests lose half their representation and become balanced, I predict Paladins will have the most to gain from it

• Hunters continue to do poorly; even though Disengage is getting a minor buff next patch, I believe Hunters will continue to do poorly until other changes are made (preferably to the BM or Marks tree)

Largest Mover:

Death Knight, which gained 45% from their representation they had as of last week.

   

Hot Streak:

Druid / Warrior - 2 Week Winning Streak

   

Surprising Facts / Observations:

• Death Knights came back with a vengeance this week gaining 45% more representation; DKs are still the 2nd weakest class at the moment, but probably have the most upside potential

• Even though Hunters lost their entire representation from 2's and lost representation in 5's, they still eeked out a minor gain this week due to 3's gain in representation

• With a few tweaks to class balance this will be the most balanced season in terms of class representation

 
Next Week Predictions:

• Warriors, Death Knights and Paladins continue to gain ground in representation

• Hunters will gain a bit of representation whenever next patch hits
