Who uses it and why
In the 13-wearer sample no single class reaches the ten-wearer reporting line, so Anguish Pauldrons reads as a thinly spread pick rather than a class staple. The wearer split by race is 53.8% Light vs 46.2% Dark, roughly the even mix the equal per-region quota produces.
Region mix of wearers: Europe 38.5%, NA West 23.1%, Latin America 23.1%, NA East 7.7%, Asia 7.7%. The sample uses an equal per-region quota, so this mix does not show the real regional player split. Sampled 2026-10-26, confidence Official-sample.
Top band vs rest
| Band | Characters | Wearers | Share |
|---|---|---|---|
| Top band (ranks 1-50 per class) | 350 | 1 | |
| Rest (ranks 51-200 per class) | 1,050 | 12 |
The two bands nearly match (0.3% at the top, 1.1% below), within the five point band we treat as flat, so Anguish Pauldrons is neither a finisher piece nor a hand-me-down in this sample. Shares are taken among Gladiator, Assassin, Ranger, Chanter, Cleric, Sorcerer and Spiritmaster characters only, the classes that wear it.

Enchant distribution
| Enchant level | Uses |
|---|---|
| +0 | 6 |
| +3 | 2 |
| +4 | 1 |
| +5 | 4 |
Across 13 sampled wearers the p25, median and p90 enchant are +0, +3 and +5. The single most common level is +0 (6 uses); even the p90 of +5 sits at half of the +10 cap or below, so wearers rarely invest deep into this piece. Its median of +3 runs about 2.0 under the shoulder slot median of +5, so wearers stop enchanting earlier than usual for the slot.
How to get it and priority
The official data lists these sources: Reward Chest, Expedition, Sanctuary.
Our read on priority: Worth picking up. Signals in favour: the official data lists a named source; typical wearers stop at +3 of a +10 cap, so it works without deep investment.
Editorial. Anguish Pauldrons scores 2 points. Score one point each for: top-five rank in its slot, a slot share of 30% or more, being tradable, a listed source, and a median enchant at half the cap or lower; top-two slot rank scores two, and when the top band wears it at least five points less than the rest we subtract one for being a stepping stone. Four or more points is high priority, two or three is worth picking up.
