Combat power

The median combat power of the group is 73,292, about the same as the 73,271 of other Rangers. Its share of the class top 50 (25 players) is close to what an even spread would give (24). The 90th percentile is 105,274 for the group and 99,373 for the rest.

Combat power measures gear, levels and boards, not player skill. A gap here says who runs Griffon Arrow, not that Griffon Arrow raises or lowers power.

Skill bar changes

Arrow Scattershot (78.7% against 84%) is equipped less often.

Every Ranger skill with its class-wide rate is on the Ranger skills page.

Gear changes

The top main hand is the same Spiritforged Bow on both sides, worn by 63.8% of the group and 69.8% of other Rangers. Median weapon enchant is +10 in both groups. The top piece changes in the pants, boots, necklace and earring slots, shown below.

Light and Dark versions of one item count as one piece. Enchant is shown as with / without Griffon Arrow. Grades and enchant rules: gear guide.

Daevanion progress is close to the rest of the class on every board; the largest gap is 2.1 points on Triniel.

Board routes and nodes: Ranger Daevanion boards and the Daevanion planner.

Other Ranger variants

Each Ranger variant page follows one stigma that splits the class. The groups overlap, because a player runs four stigmas at once.

Other Ranger stigmas with at least 20 players on each side of the split, without their own page: Vaizel's Authority (177), Bow of Blessing (161), Supporting Fire (141), Arrow Storm (32).

Not confirmed yet

• The armory does not record whether a player mostly runs PvE or PvP, so this page cannot say which mode Griffon Arrow is for.
• Why players pick Griffon Arrow. The data shows who equips it, not their reasons.
• Whether Griffon Arrow changes your combat power. Any gap above may come from gear, levels or the kind of player who picks it.
