It's time to Shadowmeld

I see:

  1. Havoc DH
  2. Vengeance DH
  3. Balance Druid
  4. Feral Druid
  5. Guardian Druid
  6. Resto Druid
  7. MM Hunter
  8. Surv Hunter
  9. Arcane Mage
  10. Frost Mage
  11. Shadow Priest
  12. Assa Rogue
  13. Outlaw Rogue
  14. Sub Rogue
  15. Aff Lock
  16. Demo Lock (depends on the bracket tbf, but Nelf leads in Solo Shuffle and that’s the only 3+ lead, Nelf is less than 3 behind the leader in every other arena bracket, and only really trails in Blitz)

Of the 30 specs available to Nelf, 16 of them have Nelf as their most represented race. Of the remaining 14 specs, 4 of them are tanks, and all three of those tanks are included in the 9 melee specs that don’t have Nelf as BiS on any other spec either (Warrior, DK, Monk). So there are 3 classes that Nelf is not BiS for at all, and of those combined specs, they make up 9/14 of the total specs in the game available to Nelf for which it is not BiS. Fire Mage, Destro Lock and BM Hunter are the only specs of their class for which Nelf is not BiS. The only class for which 2/3 specs are not most represented by Nelves are Priests, and it’s worth noting that Priests have 2 healing specs and one DPS spec, which is likely why it’s unique here (seeing as both Priest healing specs would rather have mobility even if meld would be strong for them). But your wording was “class with a clear favor for Nelf,” so for the sake of that argument, we’ll say 2/3 Nelf or better counts as “clear favor.” So that leaves us with DH (2/2), Druid (4/4), Hunter (2/3), Mage (2/3), Rogue (3/3), Lock (2/3).

I seriously have no clue where you even looked unless you literally just checked one random spec and one random bracket for each class, but this is what the actual numbers currently show. The thing is, it’s actually pretty diverse for literally every other race. Even the specs that are “dominated” by a race other than Nelf are far from the lead that Nelf has elsewhere. The closest thing I was able to find were Gnomes being highly favored for Fury in just about every bracket. Now look at the 3v3 representation for Assa. 50 characters out of 50 characters are Nelf. Maybe I missed something about the point you were trying to make here, but based on that quote alone, what you said is patently false and easily fact checkable.
