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.

Weekly Trending

 

Largest Mover:

Warlock, which gained 54.7% from last week.

 

Overall Movement:

128.7 percentage points

 

I'm surprised that there wasn't more movement with all the changes from 3.0.8.

 

My predictions from last week were not even close.  So, no predictions this week.

Largest Mover:

Shaman, which gained 21.7% from last week.
 
Overall Movement:
113.9 percentage points
 

I'm actually surprised by the overall movement from Weekly Trending.  This has been the most active shift in numbers from week to week since I started keeping track of the Weekly Trending.
 

Next week the Top 100 Average should have the biggest shakeup in numbers from week to week since 3.0.8 patch just hit live servers.
 

Predictions for next week representation:

• Paladins remain unchanged

Paladins did not receive many real nerfs.

• Death Knights lose 20%

Death Knights received huge nerfs, especially in the Unholy tree which is what 99% of all Death Knights are specced into for PvP.

• Hunters lose 20%

99% of all Hunters in PvP were specced 50/21, which now will probably not exist since Readiness no longer resets Bestial Wrath.  Arena is not slow enough for Marksmanship or Survival to succeed as of yet, so Hunters should see a drop in representation.
