Those stat arent from blizard they are an not totaly true, but we can consider them a representative, another test have been done in the euro beta with other mean and the result was almost the same result in %



the interesting point is, actually the horde look to be the "weak side" in wow.

Strange, I heard many many times that the shaman was supposed to be overpowered, and its one of the less played class.

Grrrr, i'm so pissed hunters get the highest %, I wanted to be one... maybe I'll stick to my good old sham then.

[Cauchemard]

I will play a shamy whatever stats say :)
