Impressions & analysis.

2: You can roughly divide the rarity of all the classes in three categories:

- Over played: Mage, Warrior and Rogue.
- Commonly played: Warlock, Shaman, Priest and Hunter.
- Under played: Druid.

3: The top five rarest Race / Class combinations are:

- Orc / Rogue: 117 – 2.13%
- Troll / Priest: 75 - 1.37%
- Tauren / Hunter: 59 – 1%
- Troll / Rogue: 39 – 0.71%

F.A.Q:

Question 1
Q: Where are Paladins?

A: They are waiting for the TBC expansion release.

Question 2
Q: The percentages don’t add up, they don’t make 100% in total.

A: Take note with the percentages that the decimals are not displayed and that the total percentage number is not rounded to the closest percentage number. Example: When you add 24,9 + 24,9 + 24,9 + 25,3 you get 100. Census+ does not display decimal numbers so by not displaying the decimals it looks like this: 24 + 24 + 24 + 25 = 100.

Question 3
Q: How was the data gathered?

A: I ran the addon Census+ every time I was online. Cencus+ is an addon that scans every online character and orders them neatly as seen in the pictures. My online times range from 08:00 to 02:00 server time. I ran the addon at least once a day, usually four to six times a day.

Question 4
Q: But I’m alliance!

A: Kek.

all those undead rogues who can't kill 1 priest tho

Nicely done. I'm not really counting on a similar post for alliance, but you did so much freat that I'm sure people eould appreciate the effort. I would. If I was one. Kek.

Nice post though, i think you should move your "Impressions & analysis" part to the top of main post, like a fast recap for lazy ones, who don't want to see whole post.

We need a similar post about Alliance. I'm guessing the races are a little bit more varied.

great post, 1 question

Over what period of time did these scans take place? the past few days / weeks / months?

Happy to be in the rarest race/class combo category, TROLL PRIEST FTW

Beserking + hex of weakness + shadowguard and insta 5/5 shadoweaving > j00

Pretty sure those numbers are wrong. 90% of Horde are UD Frost Mages. And as an Alliance Warrior, let me tell you how excited I am about that.

Love my class. Mage with gear = too much fun. Pulled a 2802 frostbolt crit on a warlock yesterday with ap and toep, no other buffs.

All the gear makes pvping with a garbage spec slightly more viable.

I can't believe every druid is Tauren. Do they get some kind of special racial benefit or something, like devouring plague for undead priests?
