Which classes really make it to level 110 in WoW? A new table reveals which heroes are popular – and which no one plays.
With World of Warcraft: Legion, the balance of power among the various class and race combinations has shifted significantly. But which characters have actually reached level 110? Which class/race combinations are the most common and which oddballs are hardly seen?
The 5 most popular race and class combinations in WoW
We start with the top 5 most popular combinations of race and class that have reached the maximum level of 110.
5th place: Human Paladins
5th place goes to Human Paladins with a player count of 345,000. Since the early days of the Warcraft story, human Paladins have been iconic characters in the Warcraft setting, hardly surpassed by any other class.
4th place: Blood Elf Paladins
… unless, of course, you can call your Paladin “Blood Knight” and force the Light to bend to your will rather than asking it politely. Then you are one of 384,000 Blood Elf Paladins who are still stuck in the lore of The Burning Crusade. Ah, the good old days. 4th place.
3rd place: Night Elf Druids
Kaldorei are all tree-huggers, and who would cuddle more with the big plants than a Druid? Apparently, many players prefer the Night Elf Druid, as they secure the 3rd place with 433,000 players from Teldrassil.
2nd & 1st place: Demon Hunters
1st and 2nd place go to the blind protectors of both factions, who have sacrificed everything and are firmly convinced that “Lord Illidan knows the way” – even though he has spent most of his life in prison. Blood Elf Demon Hunters take the lead with 629,000 characters, followed closely by Night Elf Demon Hunters with 563,000 characters.
The 5 least popular race and class combinations in WoW
Where there are popular combinations, there are, of course, those that are rarely played. We present the 5 combinations of race and class that have particularly rarely reached the maximum level of 110 in World of Warcraft.
5th place: Dwarf Monks
5th place among the rarest combinations goes to the Dwarf Monk. Only 12,537 specimens run around through Azeroth. Not surprising, as fiery dwarves rarely achieve calm.
4th place: Troll Monks
Trolls are known for voodoo, strange sorcery, troll grass, and an “interesting” love life. They are rarely heard of in meditation and chi. Therefore, 4th place among the rarest combinations goes to the Troll Monks, with only 12,001 characters wandering about with this vocation.
3rd place: Dwarf Mages
Even rarer are the Dwarf Mages in 3rd place. No wonder, alcohol, long beards and fireballs simply don’t go well together when you want to live long. Only 11,701 players think differently.
2nd place: Goblin Warriors
Goblins are known to be calculating, a bit crazy and always fixated on money. It’s not surprising that hardly anyone sees the green guys as a brawler. Therefore, Goblin Warriors land in 2nd place among the rarest combinations with a population of 11,385 characters.
1st place: Tauren Priests
At the top of the endangered combinations list is the Tauren Priest. Most players probably don’t even know that this class is playable. Only 10,203 players have brought a priest with a pom-pom tail and horns to the maximum level. This should prompt everyone to whip out the S.E.L.F.I.E. camera as soon as they spot such a Tauren.
Note from the editor: Here we would like to have a picture of a Tauren priest. But good luck finding one, that’s not so easy.
The results are based on an analysis by Reddit user Krainz, who used data from realmpop.com for European and American realms as a basis. The data may therefore vary slightly from the actual numbers, as only Blizzard likely knows those.
Which of these combinations do you actively play? Are you more mainstream (Demon Hunters) or a total hip outsider and a Tauren Priest with a tote bag?
