Other Chanter variants

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

What other sources say

MetaBot's 3 Oct reading labels Obliterate a PvP swap rather than giving a usage share. The two Neonsect readings put it at 27% / 30% of their top 30. None of the build guides we read names it as a pick. These are outside readings with their own samples, shown so you can compare.

Because of that label, Obliterate is also listed on the Chanter 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 Obliterate is for.
  • Why players pick Obliterate. The data shows who equips it, not their reasons.
  • Whether Obliterate changes your combat power. Any gap above may come from gear, levels or the kind of player who picks it.
  • The last stigma slot: Obliterate and Fracturing Blow are named by a few sources and nobody is settled.

Do Obliterate Chanters have higher combat power?
