It has been exactly one week since the class change season kicked off in Raven 2. You’ve still got plenty of time to weigh your options, as the season doesn’t wrap up until 04:59 on February 18. Since the shift, the Berserker class has been having a whale of a time. They managed to snag a 1.4% point increase last week, firmly cementing their spot as the third most popular class overall, while also making waves in the server-specific popularity charts.

So, how are they faring this week? They’ve broken into the top three on the Kerum-Fides server and snagged second place on Mare-Salus and Sola-Dolor. If we include Lux-Salus, they are now holding the runner-up position on a total of three servers. While the Night Ranger and Divine Caster have historically dominated the server popularity charts, the Berserker is cleverly carving out a niche for itself.

The Deathbringer is also catching a tailwind. To be fair, the Deathbringer did see a rise in overall class share last week, though the 0.1% point bump was admittedly a bit underwhelming. However, that growth has quadrupled to 0.4% points this week, landing them in third place across Lux-Fides, Vita-Salus, Vita-Metus, Kerum-Honor, and Terra-Honor.

Overall Class Analysis

Let’s take a look at the overall class distribution in Raven 2. As we’ve analyzed, the Berserker and Deathbringer have established themselves as top-tier contenders. At this rate, I wouldn't be surprised to see the Berserker cross the 10% threshold soon. The Deathbringer, however, sits 2% points behind, making a total overtake look like a bit of a tall order for now.

In the mid-to-lower tiers, the Assassin and Destroyer have made some solid strides, gaining 0.2% and 0.5% points, respectively. Consequently, the Assassin and Gunslinger have each slid down a rung. The real talking point here is the Vanguard; the Assassin’s rise was actually bolstered by the Vanguard’s more significant decline. Meanwhile, the Destroyer has leveraged its physical prowess to bypass the Gunslinger, tying with the Vanguard for 6th place. It will be interesting to see if this momentum carries the Destroyer even higher.

Global Class Analysis

Shifts are happening in the Global Legion as well. Both the Berserker and Vanguard have climbed one spot in the charts, though the circumstances differ. The Berserker benefited from a dip in the Deathbringer’s share, while the Vanguard’s situation looks more genuinely positive—they’ve been on a steady upward trajectory for over three weeks, while the Elementalist continues to trend downwards.

However, the remaining melee class, the Assassin, looks a bit precarious. They saw a 1.2% point drop last week and another 0.7% point loss this week. It seems the Raven 2 Global Legion’s melee player base is increasingly gravitating toward the Berserker and Vanguard.

Guild Dungeon Ranking Records

The guild dungeon rankings have entered a phase of fierce competition to shave off clear times. The top 7 guilds have solidified their positions, with most of the movement happening further down the board. Within that top 7, the first-place RoyalDanaeKkeo, second-place SinhwaRed, and seventh-place NangmanV all managed to improve their times—by 6 seconds, 53 seconds, and 1 second, respectively. As a result, the gap at the very top has only widened.

What about those outside the top 7? Alpha, Abdo, and RoyalX have all compressed their times, climbing two spots each. Alpha moved from 12 minutes 38 seconds to 12 minutes 10 seconds, Abdo from 12 minutes 40 seconds to 12 minutes 22 seconds, and RoyalX slashed theirs from 14 minutes 53 seconds to 13 minutes 12 seconds. This flurry of activity pushed several other guilds down the list, though the 14th-place VeteranBlackAndWhiteChefClub and 16th-place Youngs managed to hold their ground.It just goes to show that whether you’re looking to climb or just stay relevant, breaking records is the name of the game. It’s time for everyone to really focus on hitting those high scores.

Raven 2 Meca Ranking User Poll

Last week’s poll centered on the special coupons. With four being distributed through the 7-day special attendance event, we asked for your thoughts. The consensus? Players value a generous tally period so they can reference enough records to restore the items they actually need. Many felt the current window was far too short, so let's hope the developers address this for the next batch.

Now, for this week’s topic: Raven 2 is planning an update for the new region, Baltun, in March. This will naturally bring new hunting grounds, items, collections, and field bosses. Tell us what you’re most looking forward to in Baltun. We’ll announce the results next time—stay tuned!
