Fistao (armory link) created a comprehensive research on the class representation for expected gladiator titles on the EU and US realms.
In case the Excel plugin does not work for youd, download the file or just browse over the images below.
Information by the author Fistao:
Just to make things clear about the file and datas :
Tools :
- http://www.arenajunk…tle-calculator/ by Starcookies.
- WoW Armory. Only in 3s.
- Gladiator Title requirements
To be sure of the eligibility at the Gladiator Rank, every single team and players had to be checked : not an inactive team, personal rating not under 100 points of the team rating, 20% of the total game played.
I didn’t take into account specialisations (not necessary relevant because the armory is not an efficient tool for this) and races aspects.
Conclusions :
- Classes representations : No comments.. that’s pretty clear I think !
- Realms and BG : You should have a good visibility of which realms are the most attracitve ones, in PvP, and populated.
- Factions representation : Pretty equal between US and EU. Alliance is dominating a bit in both.
- The average rating to be Gladiator is a bit higher in EU (2554) than in US (2478). This can be explained by the fact that you have more eligible players in EU (440 vs 406 in US).
Keep in mind that ladders are still evolving. This is a state at D-2. But you shouldn’t see any big evolution until the season ends.
Good work!
Thanks Ioynan!
First of all good work guys!
Second, unbalanced season. Only warriors, spriests, hpala and rshamans are dominating this season. Hello Blizzard wake the fuck up?!?? PTR needs more changes..
I think the balance on the PTR is pretty solid except for Windwalker Monks and maybe DKs that look to strong currently.
omg, windwalker monks are OP compared to mistweavers! (playing a WW/MW 2s team)
Agree, 5.2 WW monks look too strong.
Nice touch from you to separate DPS and heal, make it much more relevant
Are you missing part of the Stormstrike battlegroup in some of your tables? It looks like you only have the Mal’ganis realm, which might be causing a misrepresentation of how many H:A glads there are.
Will check that and come back to you.
@Damalsca :
No realms are missing in Stormstrike BG.
Only teams from Mal’Ganis are available to gladiator title according to the current armory.
Hey, thanks for the guide. I wanted to ask, are these projections or something? If not, how do you know the cutoffs exactly? I’m the 16th team on shadowburn and by my own personal calculations, there will only be 14 gladiator teams, as the most recent update on an 0-20 team was #2947th place. Any insight on this?
It was a projection not the actual titles.
