, the major takeaway is that it is virtually impossible to balance builds/sets on both average clear and top clear.

That is not the major takeaway from that analysis. In fact, I would say that the data supports the opposite conclusion. With thorns necromancer being an exception, classes that perform best at the top end also perform better throughout the entire leaderboard.

Also, Pro’s analysis presented for patch 2.6.6/era 11 shows that the weakest class below GR 120 or so are necromancers (gray line) and more broadly across higher clears monks (red line) .

I have performed a more comprehensive analysis of era 11 using the final data from that era . My results and Pro’s are largely consistent.

Solo game balance: Non-Season Era 11 and 12 Data and Analysis

Introduction Here, I present data and its analysis for the final era 11 solo leaderboards (patch 2.6.6) as well as the current era 12 data (patch 2.6.7a/b). Era data is non-season and is used to exclude confounders caused by seasonal buffs. The datasets being analyzed are imperfect in that there are biases in the number of players pushing each class. As an example, demon hunters and witch doctors did not receive any buffs or nerfs in patch 2.6.7; however, it is much easier (i.e. lower GR clea…

This analysis also includes a peek at the era 12 data.

So: give some thought to whether you want stuff to be balanced by top clear or by average clear, because you can’t really do both.

What do you mean by average clear here and average clear for whom?
