Top Solo Shuffle Elune's Chosen Balance Druids

The Balance Druids who picked Elune's Chosen, numbered among themselves. EU and US are merged by rating, so a place here is not a character's rank in its own region.

Stat priority

What the Balance Druids above are geared for — each stat's mean rating across this page, placed by that rating. Two stats too close to separate sit a row apart. The percent beside a rating is what that rating adds, so it compares one stat against itself and never against the others.

Gems and embellishments

One list each rather than one per slot: the same gem goes wherever a Balance Druid has a socket. An embellishment is named by itself rather than by the piece it was crafted onto, because a dozen pieces carry the same one. Both count a character once however many they wear it on. Point at a row for what it grants.

For gamers, by gamers

purge is the head of World of Warcraft's PvP ladder, rebuilt from Blizzard's own data.

Cut
The top 50 of every specialization, EU and US merged into one list by rating.
Updated
Every few hours — last crawl .
Source
Blizzard's Game Data API, off the profiles of live characters. Nothing here is entered by hand.
Caveat
This is whatever a character was wearing when it was read, so nothing filters out someone who logged out in their PvE gear.
