Fistao created a comprehensive research on the class representation for expected gladiator titles on the EU and US realms. We tried to get the Excel file implemented on AJ but we can't add tables or implement google docs or Skydrive, so I decided to add the post on my blog and you can browse the complete file there, while you can at least see the images here.

Click on the image below to see the external thread with the whole information.

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.

Obviously most of the skilled population is playing warrior.

[Moshe]

Still, overall most balanced FIRST season

[Snuggli]

I'm really happy for all the underdog warriors getting glad after being underpowered for all of Cata, all of these Warriors are obviously the most skilled players and now the game is finally perfectly balanced the Warrior community can prove how much better they are at the game than the rest of the playerbase.

[Mylez]

what's the percentage of monks actually on the ladder?

[Poobandit]

monks are good in 5s

[Vioz]

17 Glad teams on Vindi? It looks like it will be closer to 15.

[toheja88]

I think warriors are in good spot right now , not overpowered not underpowered, ferals aswell!

[Pawik]

Comparing numbers of people playing WW monk and ret in general, not sure which spec is worse atm. Still i've met more (2) ww monks over 2.2k than rets (1) in this season (played not that much though).
