Thanks Matthew and the Diablo team for their blog post.

From the Blog post it was written:
" Assuming a player is at 5000 Paragon, here’s where all the classes landed, on average , a few weeks into Patch 2.6.7 for non-Seasonal play , aggregated across player leaderboard data world-wide:"

@Nevalistis

Yes, stats were taken world-wide and averaged out. They were also adjusted to meet the scale mentioned, and then the final regional results were averaged out to represent a global number. The numbers in those tables are both averaged and calculated up or down based on Seasonal/Non-Seasonal data from a few weeks after the 2.6.7 Patch.

I am still rather confused about how the table was made, especially since it seems odd to me that barbarians and witch doctor both were GR 130 at 5K paragon…

I had downloaded from Blizzard’s API the era 12 leaderboard data on January 3. Below are the average GR clears per class for players with between 4.5K and 5.5K paragon.

Class	Barb	Crusader	DH	Monk	Necro	WD	Wizard
Average GR for 4.5K-5.5K Player (Era America Region)	123.9	127.5	118.8	121.6	108.5	115.1	120.2

Certainly, this is just the America region and not worldwide; however, a few things become evident.

1. The clears reported in the balance blog post are much higher.
2. Witch doctors and barbarians are dissimilar in power in the above calculation and by a separate GR efficiency calculation. In the blog post table, both are GR 130 at 5K paragon.
