Actually pretty excited, but also torn (need class distribution input from Defias Pillager)

I like the hype—pretty excited about this fresh HC realm. I wasn’t able to join in the last round years ago but I should be able to join on this one.

I want to do something different from the past–I’ve played priest/paladin heals and rogue, which leaves Warrior/Mage/Hunter/Warlock/Druid. I want to do a Warrior or Mage, but I joined the Defias Pillager on the HC server and did a /who 60 various times the last few days and it seems about %40 the population is either Warrior or Mage when I do that.

For those of you that played, is that a fairly accurate representation? If so, was it hard to find groups and get gear as a warrior or mage?

That is not a good way to check what class people are playing, since that tool only returns the first 50 matches, whatever it might be.

You could narrow the search by doing /who 60 class or /who 60 class zone but then again same problem; the tool result caps at 50 players. And also the time/day you choose will factor in, etc.

Oh damn, good point, I didn’t think about it being only 50 results total. Looks like right now (Monday afternoon pst) on DP we have the following 60’s…

Over 50 warriors
27 mages
26 rogues
3 druids
9 warlocks
10 priests
22 hunters

I’ll check again later tonight to see if there is any bias, but maybe Mage won’t be too bad. Rogue and Warrior seem the worst, especially since they share dps gear.

A couple hours later…

33 warriors
27 mages
38 rogues
24 Paladins
6 druid
10 warlock
10 priests
27 hunters

Later tonight…
37 warriors
31 mages
27 rogues
24 paladins
11 druids
9 warlocks
11 priests
OVER 50 hunters
