We're broadly happy with the closer gap between class choices at high levels, though it is clear there is still plenty of room for improvement.

Some graphs for easier understanding at a glance:

For reference, you should be looking for ~14.3% if all 7 base classes had their equal share, so Duelist and Ranger are pretty out of line one way while Shadow and Scion are out the other, though Scion skews all these numbers to a degree due to the nature of her ascendancy.

The following is a breakdown of which ascendancy class is taken most often by each base class. Choosing no ascendancy is simply listed as the base clase.


In no surprise to anyone, Slayer OP, Gladiator has block and bleedsplosion and Champion cries in the corner.


Almost identical breakdown to duelist, Raider frenzy charge generation on bosses is stronk, Pathfinder flasks still good and Deadeye is the redheaded stepchild.


The biggest blowout of the lot, Inq is nervously eying the nerfhammer. Guardian has Auras and LLRF while Heirophant has ... frostbolt totems as a leage starter I guess?


Same as Templar, Necro wins in a landslide. The bonus from Mistress of Sacrifice is just too huge to ignore, making her a better option for survivability or casting while also being the summoning class while summoning is stong as well as still being top tier as a suport option. Elementalist is just a bad Inquisitor most of the time 'cause there's almost no reason not to go crit with spells and Occultist is heavily specialised into ES (which is weak) and chaos ED/Contagion which, while good, is only 1 build among many.


Zerker has a disproportionate amount over the other choices, but not as bad as the others so far. Even without Vaal Pact cheese, 40% more and easy leech are build enabling by themselves and the warcry heal and buffs aren't terrible either. Jugg has the tank role covered and has merits as both league starter and lab farmer. Chieftan has his totems, but is otherwise mostly ignored.


Poor old Shadow actually has the closest thing to a balanced choice of ascendancies. Trickster is solid for lots of things, but the relative ease of RF/SR makes him popular while the insane potential of mines means that Sab gets a run. I can only imagine that the Assassin choices are either poison or autobombers since the Scion Assassin/[X] does the same job but better in many cases while also having another half an ascendancy to work with.

Scion was obviously omitted since it's either Ascendant or nothing and a graph showing 99.55% Ascendant/0.45% Scion doesn't tell you anything.

So, yeah, nothing that anyone whose played 1000 hours even a little bit didn't already know, except for perhaps that pathy isn't as common as you'd think and people keep choosing Assassin even when Scion would probably be better.
