It is painful to hear a warlock complain about not being as dramatic of a #1 as they used to be. Hunter are in low count because of the difficulty of being a hunter in 2v2 arena. Try it. the ones that do it have the best of the best. Amazing teammate, amazing computer and incredible amounts of practice. I promise no hunter rank up with low counts of games the way warlocks, druids, warriors and rogues do. I am just saying, this reminds me of the 3 time super bowl champion patriots compaining about respect during a 16-0 season; we get it, you want to be good and make everyone look bad...not just the best by a little, but by a mile. /endrant Warlocks are as good as they practice to be.

Blessing of Freedom and Blessing of Sacrifice were both nerfed at this time to have huge animation effects and long cooldowns. Also there were relatively few drain teams in S1. These nerfs combined with a druids ability to protect their mana pool from drain teams while healing on the run is what makes paladins relatively unwanted. Give a Mortal Strike effect to Crusader strike and you would see a massive jump in paladin numbers. Right now holy is a useless spec and ret can't kill a healing class. Thus since they have no counter you see huge numbers of rogues and warriors. The decrease in the numbers of paladins for S2 wasn’t due so much to the buffs for druids as it was the nerfs to paladins.

I would think that it would go up as most teams do have mages. It is very embarrassing to see my class, shaman, as low as the hunter class but I also feel for the paladins because I remember when War-Pally was better than War-Druid. Of course, Blizzard doesn't want to fix classes till after WotLK. It’s a bit bullshitting to see the curve for mages. I would think that it would go up as most teams do have mages.
