First Report

Ok, here's a link to the first "full" report. (I am fully aware that my web design fu is negative. Hopefully CSS will save me someday.) This structure of report should mostly stay the same (I hope). For each class I've generated 4 spec/build reports, one specialized for each talent tree (31 points or more in a given tree is considered specialized) and overall. Each report lists the top 10 specs, and the top 10 builds within each spec. There's way too much information for me to come close to discussing this, so if you find something you want to discuss, blog about it and let me know and I'll mention your blog here.

1st Million - Rogues

38,128 rogues. 90 more rogues than hunters in the first million. Check out the specs:

1. 15/41/5 - 2755 (7.23%)
2. 41/20/0 - 2057 (5.39%)
3. 17/44/0 - 1951 (5.12%)
4. 13/41/7 - 1857 (4.87%)
5. 19/42/0 - 1736 (4.55%)
6. 41/0/20 - 1445 (3.79%)
7. 30/0/31 - 1279 (3.35%)
8. 20/41/0 - 1174 (3.08%)
9. 21/0/40 - 831 (2.18%)
10. 16/45/0 - 793 (2.08%)

A reasonably healthy distribution (that is to say, all three tree are represented) of specs. Combat rules the board with 6 specs, followed by 2 each of Assassination and Subtlety. 9886 rogues are spec'd Assassination. 18267 are spec'd for Combat and 9042 are spec'd for Subtlety. 933 rogues are unspec'd and 9 rogues aren't spec'd at all.

Pre 2.1: Most Popular Builds - Rogue

1,913 capped Rogues. And I thought Hunters couldn't make up their minds. Here's the top 5 Rogue builds:

1. 4 characters: 17/44/0 -Assassination/Combat. I have a level 2 Rogue. 'Nuff said.
2. 4 characters: 17/44/0 - Assassination/Combat. 3/5 Lightning Reflexes instead of 3/3 Improved Gouge, above.
3. 4 characters: 15/41/5 - Everyone gets love, sorta. Subtlety gets a 5/5 Opportunity at Assassination and Combat's expense.
4. 3 characters: 41/20/0 - Assassination/Combat. Just enough to get 5/5 Dual Wield Specialization.
5. 3 characters: 19/42/0 - Again, Assassination/Combat, but Sword Specialization gets the full 5/5 love here to bump it to 42.

18/1,913 Rogues accounted for in the top 5. Not even 1%. The sign of a class that can't make up its mind, or a well-designed tree with significant flexibility?
