Things can vary wildly depending on when you play it's really difficult to make broad generalizations as a result. I play est and find in the evening AB usually has 9 hunts, 6 pals, 5 rogues, 5 druids. I don't often track for wsg because 24 premades throw class ratios out the window. Last night I was in a wsg with 8 horde healers, the very next match had 8 ally hunters…no joke. Things can be all over the place.
20/24 %
Hard to say. Ally's tend to crz queue while horde tends to roll premades and you can rely on seeing a 5 man 24 horde team steam rolling though everyday. Last night ally side had from 4-7 24's in each wsg around 12p set, which was unusual.

I posted in another thread that I tested damage in bg from a quest geared hunter and came up with about 340 dps, or 2100 in 6 seconds on leather, no crits included. 20 hunters are higher on the chart than anything other a 24 hunter. Rogues ambush for @700 noncrit and between 1000-1600 with crit/zerker. Shield slam can still hit cloth for nearly 1k. And then there are the 24's.

Surv hunters, 24 s.priest, 24 frost mage…prot palls are on the downswing now that the br players have realized it's easier to back peddle on a hunter.
Ele shams are fine. Mages are mostly absent as f2p's atm…they do well in things that aren't represented on a kb/damage chart. Tbh, I feel bad for all the folks still playing them and always try to show them some love whenever I can…last night on my cheese geared r.druid I kept Spookah focused all night just 'cuz.
Disc priests are fine but like mages, they look less fine on a chart. They're the most vulnerable to rogues and hunters which make up much of the bracket. Same as always.
Bm hunters are a joke. Surv hunters are a joke. MM hunters are a joke. Hunters are a joke.
Wsg can be summed up as you either steamroll or get steamrolled. Competitive games might be 1 in 10.
AB is a zergfest in which 12 people will spend minutes getting a flag and then immediately move on leaving no one to defend. So, you spend the entire match chasing your tail and cursing people from br
So, biz as usual.
The silver lining is that there seems to be something happening on the arena front again.
Hey everyone!
Just wondering what the state of the bracket is in the NA servers. Primarily…
How many 20s/24s in a usual game?
How's scaling between f2p 20s/24s?
How's the balance between Burst/Control/Sustained/Healing or however you prefer to phrase it?
What are the flavor of the month classes?
How are f2p ele shams?
How are f2p frost mages?
How are f2p disc priests?
How are f2p bm hunters?
