Combat power

The median combat power of the group is 71,726, 2.5% above the 69,946 of other Assassins. It is overrepresented at the top: 13 of the class top 50 run it, where an even spread would give about 10. The 90th percentile is 102,210 for the group and 93,287 for the rest.

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

Skill bar changes

Whirlwind Slice (87.8% against 95%) is equipped less often.

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

Other Assassin variants

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

Other Assassin stigmas with at least 20 players on each side of the split, without their own page: Swift Contract (164), Illusive Clone (158), Triniel's Dagger (152), Throw Shadowblade (30).

What other sources say

MetaBot's 3 Oct reading does not list Evasion Stance. The two Neonsect readings put it at 23% / 17% of their top 30. Named as a pick by Playhub, situational. These are outside readings with their own samples, shown so you can compare.

Because of that label, Evasion Stance is also listed on the Assassin PvP build with the other PvP swaps.

Not confirmed yet

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