How to read this Aion 2 Assassin skills page

Learned is the share of top Assassins who have the skill above level 0.
Equipped is the share who run it. Passives are always on once learned.
Avg level is taken over the players who run it.
Level spread is a small bar chart of how those players' levels are distributed.
