So like if you live under a rock, or just haven’t logged on in a while wow got patched. As always servers have had huge issues and some were down for 24 hours, but come on, its patch day what do you expect. You have HoN to play any way, right?

I have spent most of tonight in the new BG. I spent far to much time in it on the PTR and i’m right back in there. I don’t really know why, its not that fun. The games are a lot faster then they were on the PTR. But I for one am not liking how its going so far. Games are over in under 10mins, and its a pure zerg fest. I’m unsure why they are over so quick, gate need more HP maybe. I believe they have nerfed the HP back to what it was in the very first build. After they buffed it games were a lot longer and from my point of view actually pretty fun. I think I’ll need to play a few more games to work it out. In the mean time here’s a screen shot for you. It say’s it all really.

Well, I dont know about fun, but some people do really enjoy it, and that’s cool. Me, I don’t know. But for the past couple of days, I have been taking a break from my main and rolling in the BG’s on my priest man. He was 27 at that stage and I wasn’t expecting a great deal out of him.

Well, I was right to some extent. I was getting one shotted by lvl29 twink rouges, which really was not cool. Nerf them I say. Wait – they did in the patch! /shoot for joy.

Anyways, what I was really surprised at, was the amount of heals I had compared to everyone else. I was getting over 10k worth of heals total – without trying to hard – and no one else was coming close. Most were only getting around 6-8k worth. I found this a bit strange, so I went to do a bit of digging.

I headed over to Warcraft Realms to check out the Census, just to see what was going on with the healing class – everyone has been saying there has been a lack of them.
So lets look at the numbers:

• Priest’s make up 9% (2328)
• Shaman’s make up 8% (2001)

Now that’s out of a total of 25,539. What I also found interesting, is that the Alliance make up 68% (17,238) of the server and the Horde 33% (8301).

Those are some intersting numbers. For one, the number of Horde there are could contribute to the lack of people. This, taken with the low percentage of healer class apart from pallies, leads to a not very good state. You could also throw into the mix; Do people who play healer classes actually heal during a BG?

Maybe I’m just reading to far into it, but these are some interesting numbers nonetheless.
In any case, if you are in a low lvl BG, you might not get heals

Go check out the numbers for your realm, it’s very cool stuff.
