'Raven 2' adjusted the balance of the Elementalist in the second week of April update. At the same time, it kicked off Season 9 of the Class Change. The Elementalist was in the top 3 in popularity at launch, but its share gradually decreased, settling at the bottom. A long time has passed since then. This patch seems to have brought a positive transformation to the Elementalist, as its overall class share ranking has risen to the mid-tier.

However, the Elementalist's presence is still minimal in the server-specific popular class charts. It seems it lacks the momentum to reach the server top 3. The charts above are often composed of 'Night Ranger + Divine Caster + other top-tier classes.' To make it into the top 3 more often, more rankers are needed. We will have to wait and see how things change over time.

Separately, the server-specific top 3 category is going through a period of turmoil. The arrival of the class change season has sparked a wave of job transfers. Overall, the three melee classes, Deathbringer, and Gunslinger hold a large share. The leaders of the competition are Berserker and Deathbringer. In other words, the big walls the Elementalist must overcome are the Berserker and Deathbringer.

Overall Class Analysis

This is the overall class share chart for Raven 2 mentioned earlier. The top 4 rankings remained stagnant, while the 5th to 9th places fluctuated. The former 5th place, Assassin, plummeted to 9th, while the Elementalist jumped from 9th to 6th. The Assassin usually hovered in the mid-to-upper tier, so it is quite surprising to see it pushed to the bottom. However, the gap between the 'Elementalist - Destroyer - Gunslinger - Assassin' is very small, so the possibility of a reversal remains open. The Raven 2 Meca Ranking class competition environment has entered a new phase.

Global Class Analysis

The Elementalist also made strides in the Global Region. Although it hasn't left 9th place yet, it gained 0.9 percentage points at once to cross the 3% threshold. Fortunately, the Vanguard and Destroyer, which are one step above, had almost no change in share, making it easier to close the gap. Additionally, the Vanguard and Destroyer recorded a tie at 3.7%. Perhaps the three classes will compete for rankings soon.

Guild Dungeon Ranking Records

Continuing with the Raven 2 Guild Dungeon rankings. Last week, all top 20 ranker guilds broke through the 5th stage wall, and RoyalDaNaeKkeo took the top spot with a time of 6 minutes and 29 seconds. Then, a huge comet fell. The TOP guild flew in from outside the chart and took the throne with a record of 6 minutes and 16 seconds on stage 5. In this process, several guilds were pushed down in the rankings. Furthermore, Romantic transferred from Nox-Salus to Mare-Dolor and changed its name to NoShowRomantic. Besides that, it was easy to find guilds that changed their names or relocated.

Raven 2 Meca Ranking User Poll

Finally, here are the results of last week's Raven 2 poll. The topic was the collection status of the recently added Weapon Resonance content. Half of the users who participated answered that their 'collection rate is still under 30%.' Combined with the 2nd place answer 'Only my class's weapon resonance doesn't drop' and subjective comments saying 'acquisition paths are still insufficient,' it seems that supply is still lacking compared to demand. We look forward to new acquisition methods or related events in the future.

Now, I will announce this week's poll topic. As mentioned consistently, the Elementalist's standing has risen significantly after the balance patch. I think some of you may have tested its performance after the patch. Please let us know how you evaluate the performance of the Elementalist after the revamp. We look forward to your votes, and the results will be announced next time.
