LFR Pop - Useless Data for the Filthy Casuals

[jalena]

I was curious, "what are the cool kids playing when running LFR raids?" So I pulled the LFR page up from warcraft logs and did a little (very little) math to come up with some numbers for what classes are popular. This is based on the number of parses seen my warcraft logs in LFR.

Hunter   16755   10.94%
Druid    16422   10.73%
Paladin  15347   10.02%
Warrior  13980   9.13%
DHunter  13644   8.91%
Mage     13572   8.86%
Shaman   12035   7.86%
Priest   11697   7.64%
Warlock  11630   7.60%
DKnight  11233   7.34%
Rogue     9268   6.05%
Monk      7522   4.91%
        153105   

Melee    57369   37.47%
Ranged   54174   35.38%
Healer   29063   18.98%
Tank     12499   8.16%

So,

Easy mode first.

Many specs second.

EASY PVP AUTO BUBBLE. Third.

FOTM CAUSE DOS.

IILLIDAN#2246.

Rogues and monk surprises me though, i am guessing its because Rogues dont have "fun" cleave apart from DID POISON BOMB PROC? And they get randomly cleaved down in BGs and monks being underpowered probably made a lot of people reroll early or probably because Mistweaver got nerfed for PvP?

Not sure why they are so low

It's literally just the class breakdown for overall WoW, nothing to do with LFR or not.

So you basically came up with some asinine preconception for every class that's ... not your own I guess.

Nah, i am in the FOTM cause DOS category, only difference is, i have been there for 12 years, not a February 2017 reroll, game is full of Warriors out of nowhere since then, good thing they are gonna reroll to something else now.

[Deja Thoris]

Ok, so?

Whats the actual point?

rogues have always been one of the least popular classes of wow, it's not a new thing
dont really see why since it's the only dps class that doesnt make me fall asleep, but to each their own i guess

[Jtbrig7390]

And this is relevant how?

Weren't they one of the most (if not the most) popular class early on? Like in vanilla and tbc?

OP, mind polling data for other difficulties as well please.

Does seem to overall fall in line with characters at max level that Chaud posts occasionally.

From memory I think they was a decent population while suffering from overabundance when it came to finding raid spots. The past few expansions have seen them toward the bottom.

even in vanilla/TBC they were middle ish with druids and mages being by far the most popular

Here ya go. Nothing here is all that useful, but I just find it interesting how the numbers shake out. I'd guess Mythic is highly distorted right now as guilds seem keep their logs secret while they're shooting to conquer the raid first (in the world, on their server, in their circle of friends, etc.).
