This week's [Meca Ranking] for Raven 2 is unusually quiet. There are, however, some complex reasons for this lull. With the server transfers concluded last week, the update for the new Gunslinger class is looming on the horizon. Furthermore, developer note #57 has teased a class change event that can be tackled with gold. It is probably wise to sit back and watch how things unfold for a week.

The real kicker here is the gold requirement. Looking back at the fallout from previous Raven 2 class change seasons, significant shifts usually occur when items are accessible via gold, simply because the cost of 'job hopping' isn't exactly pocket change. Let's treat this as a breather and wait for the next update.

Overall Class Analysis

The overall class share charts are stagnant across both the Korean and Global regions. In the Korean region, Night Ranger and Deathbringer fluctuated by 0.2% points, while Divine Caster and Elementalist saw a 0.1% point shift. Only Deathbringer, however, made a move that actually mattered for the rankings. After being overtaken by Assassin last week, it has clawed back some territory to stand in a tie for 3rd place. A small step, perhaps, but a positive result nonetheless.

Global Class Analysis

The Global region is even more subdued. Only three classes saw their shares shift, and there have been zero changes to the actual rankings. The last notable event was Destroyer edging out Elementalist to secure 6th place. I expect the charts to remain this rigid until the Gunslinger update drops.

Guild Dungeon Ranking Records

While the general Raven 2 charts remain quiet, the Guild Dungeon scene is remarkably lively. The number of tracked guilds has jumped from 164 to 293, and the race to shave off seconds is heating up. Aside from the top dog, RoyalDanaekkeo, the entire top 20 hierarchy has been shaken up.

2nd place Kings and 3rd place Romantic have both smashed through the 10-minute clear barrier on stage 5. Kings slashed their time by 3 minutes and 35 seconds to climb two spots, while Romantic cut a staggering 6 minutes and 22 seconds off their record. Beyond them, guilds like MythRed, VeteranClub, and ROYALMusinA have appeared like comets from outside the chart. The intensity in the Guild Dungeons is quite something!

Raven 2 Meca Ranking User Poll

The new Gunslinger class is set to arrive on November 19th. Raven 2 is currently building the hype with the GUNSLINGER D-14 and D-7 attendance events. Additionally, following the announcement of the gold-based class change tickets in the recent dev notes, we polled the community on their plans. The vibe is decidedly pro-Gunslinger; the most popular choice is to try out the new class, followed by using the class change ticket. I am quite keen to see how the year-end Meca Ranking charts will be upended.

Now, it is time for this week's poll. Raven 2's Tower of Chaos offers hero buffs when you conquer specific floors. Tell us which buff you prefer most. If your choice isn't on the list, feel free to use the subjective entry. I look forward to your votes, and I shall reveal the results next time.
