it would actually be an interesting stat to see, if someone could pull the numbers of each lvl 40 career online during city.

I think its pretty bad, but we might be supriced one way or the other

I'm playing only order, in different time zones, my overall conclusion is we always lack enough healers who heal: NO dps healers pls. I see the most few RP and AM (heal AM, NOT dps AM).

Second what we lack most is GOOD and compoetent melee dps players. When order has good dps in scenarios the game is always close, regardless of the healer imbalance (destro always have 5+ with shamans and doks, some of them dps thou, but still heal, not like dps AMs who never heal).

Third on the ranking is the order TANKS WHO GUARD. Doesn't matter of the class, snb or 2h, just use your Guard skill from lvl 10. That is all.

What order does NOT lack is random solo queing rdps players and dps AMs. Those are plenty.

Careful with your insults, there, bud. That healer spread doesn't look anywhere near like 1/3 of total population. More like 1/4....

And @Detangler: Seriously?

What is need will vary by what time you play. As mentioned earlier also, by the time X is needed and you level X, Y is then needed.

I primarily play late EU through late NA, and the above graphs are quite accurate from the WP pop that I see. Every pug city have at least 6 WP and a significant chunk of ranged dps. Organized city's will have at least 6 WP. Perhaps they are OP, or perhaps the other heals are lacking. I cannot say. I can say that they are constant across large time periods, where other classes and roles may fluctuate.

Pick something you'll have fun with, and pick a back up too. If one is a tank or healer, so much the better for you side. As long as your tank guards and supports their party (guard swap, challenge, punts & KD when needed), it doesn't matter if your are 2h or sword n board. Similar with healer - dps all you want but you should be the one to break rotation to rez.

I see a lot of dps being leveled at the moment, so I'd wager tanks and heals will still be in high demand in a few months
