Brigand is the Ranger who'd rather duel than snipe — dual-wield close-quarters fighting, almost pure Physical with a light poison accent, combo-driven melee tempo backed by a skirmisher's real escape toolkit.
Your Wild Strike now generates 1 additional Advantage, and removes the minimum range of your ranged abilities.
Closest to Assassination Rogue crossed with Outlaw's utility toolkit. The builder/finisher loop — Ravage building Advantage and laying a bleed, Wild Strike layering the Bounty debuff, then Assault/Viper's Bite/Skullpiercer dumping Advantage for bonus damage — is structurally Mutilate-into-Envenom with a bleed-consumption twist. Bushwhack (teleport-behind + stun) plays like Shadowstep-into-Cheap-Shot, and Knockout plays like Blind that also cleanses bleeds/poisons. The party-buff layer (Guile of the Cutthroat's AP aura) has no Rogue analog at all — that's a Warrior-Battle-Shout-style bolt-on, nothing like an actual healer's kit.
How is this number calculated?
Measured scope: Zul'Gurub, all difficulties — High Priest Venoxis, High Priestess Jeklik, High Priestess Mar'li, Bloodlord Mandokir, High Priest Thekal, High Priestess Arlokk, Jin'do the Hexxer, Hakkar, Gri'lek, Gahz'ranka.
These numbers come from Ascension Logs’ public combat logs, not an in-house guess.
The index compares each spec to the median player — the one sitting exactly in the middle of the ranking — on the same boss and the same group format: 1.00 matches that median player, 1.40 means 40% more damage than them. Only each player’s best fight counts, never their average — otherwise a player posting fifty fights would count as much as fifty different players, and averaging would mostly reward beginners still learning the spec rather than those who’ve mastered it. The comparison always happens on the same boss and the same format: a two-minute fight and a seven-minute one aren’t comparable, and a flex raid doesn’t give the same support as a 25-man.
Tiers (S, A, B…) aren’t picked by hand: the cutoffs are calculated from the real spread of every measured spec. A spec under 15 distinct players or 30 fights isn't ranked at all, rather than given a made-up grade.
How is this number calculated?
Mythic dungeons only — Ascension CoA has no Mythic+ tier yet (229 tracked encounters).
These numbers come from Ascension Logs’ public combat logs, not an in-house guess.
The index compares each spec to the median player — the one sitting exactly in the middle of the ranking — on the same boss: 1.00 matches that median player, 1.40 means 40% more damage than them. Only each player’s best fight counts, never their average — otherwise a player posting fifty fights would count as much as fifty different players, and averaging would mostly reward beginners still learning the spec rather than those who’ve mastered it. The comparison always happens on the same boss: 92.4% of dungeon fights are played in 5-player groups, and splitting by group size as well would discard more usable damage rows (4.5% lost against 1.4% when comparing by boss alone) for zero additional publishable spec — group size is therefore not part of the comparison.
Tiers (S, A, B…) aren’t picked by hand: the cutoffs are calculated from the real spread of every measured Dungeon spec — this column has its own distribution, it doesn’t reuse Raid’s cutoffs. A spec under 15 distinct players or 30 fights isn't ranked at all, rather than given a made-up grade.
Each performance above links to its own real combat report. Ascension Logs, however, doesn’t offer a rankings page covering every Mythic dungeon — unlike Raid, there’s no « View the source rankings » button here.
Ranking updated on August 17, 2026
These talents are a PvE configuration. The Arena and Battleground grades shown above rate the specialisation’s PvP potential — not this tree.
Dual-wield duelist whose Advantage finishers (Assault, Ravage, Viper's Bite) rely on landed Physical hits, so both hit caps precede Agility scaling. PvP order corrected to lead with Resilience > Stamina per survivability-first ordering.
