[@MuklukYoutube]

"There are two types of engineers" I expected "400 iq holosmiths" and "stereotype mechanists", but laughed at the "flamethrower go blarg"

[@Blackbupf]

I was expecting turret enjoyers but it is what it is

[@rorsine]

same

[@sickbozo8152]

i am engi main and my 1st "build" (if you can call it that) was flammenwerfer , sadly i didnt name my character hans. go to the elven-like treehuggers and bring them industry! and ze flammenwerfer of course because they like trees so i dont XD

[@MichaelStephenson12]

Me too, because I am totally a flamethrower kind of engineer, it's just so much fun watching the world burn :D

[@AmorphisBob]

I mean she's not wrong. Flamethrower does in fact go brrrr.

[@ArcticWolfGod]

Man I knew that flamethrower part was coming, it was literally the reason I made an engineer character in the first place lol.

[@daeze5343]

It was the guardian's flame torch 5 for me 😂

[@Zaxares]

I actually miss when Flamethrower Scrapper was meta in PvP. :(

[@bertmaan]

It's actually true for me as well hahaha

[@r.coachman3499]

[Pained Inhale] Yeah…She got me with that line too! I just wanna BE a jack of all trades and have cool gadgets~

[@aspectoi]

me too

[@nocchi.9589]

NICE TRY KZbinR BUT ACTUALLY ENGINEER MAINS ARE NOT LIKE THAT AT ALL IF YOU WOULD HAVE PLAYED THE GAME FOR MORE THAN 5 MINUTES YOU WOULD KNOW THAT ENGINEER MAINS ARE ACTUALLY THE COOLEST PEOPLE WHO HAVE EVER PLAYED

[@willo_wisp3798]

trueeeeee

[@thorbeorn4295]

[@Nilruin]

Unless you're a Mechanist.

[@glowdonk]

Scrapper my beloved@@Nilruin

[@daydev2599]

11:40 Legend has it there was once a second mesmer spec, but modern science has determined it was merely a mirage, a virtuoso mistaken for a different spec in the desert heat.

[@_Lex_9]

maybe I was the illusion all along

[@Datamaskarl]

May not be the best, but it plays like a GW2 Mesmer. Chrono, spam wells on CD for buff uptime. Blades, spam CDs for Damage, Mirage, spam illusions, and finally an elite to replace mass invis.

[@Spagoody]

I've never been so offended by something I 100% agree with

[@RiezaChaos]

*Necro main*: Yes, yes this is all.... HEY WE HAVE SOME VERY VALID POINTS ABOUT THE CHANGES MADE TO EPIDEMIC, OK?!

[@L3talis]

As a ranger main i died laughing at the canceling-axe5-to-dodge-aoe's part. It's just sooo true for me back in the days i played fractals and raids :D

[@artrayus3]

That right there is the very reason I never played power ranger builds in group content.

[@AssassinsCr2]

@@artrayus3 I play Cele. Does wonders with one-handed weapons.

[@mana_surge]

Being roasted by Lara on Friday the 13th is the best gift I could've ever asked for (I was laughing so much through this whole video. This is so funny)

[@Evoxx_x]

I have a funny little story about the whole Necro "this blob is their friend" thing When I first started the game was in german so I leveled in german and only swapped to English at lvl 80, throught my journey I thought the shadow fiend (Schattenunhold) was shadow dog (Schattenhund) and when I swapped to english at first I read shadow fRiend. So I called him "Bello" which led to me naming all my minions for example: The Flesh Golem's name is "Isaac" cause he's also just a naked crying child trying to find a place in the world. I mean....inaccurate allegations!

[@fenarycalfest8732]

Thats so cute, it should have been this way from the beginning xD (I mean, friend or puppy)

[@amiablereaper]

Look, at the end of the day, necromancer is a class about making friends Just don't ask what their friends are made out of.

[@ihaveaplan.ijustneedmoney.9777]

I named my minions too. I thought I was alone. 😂 Blood Fiend - Halitosia Bone Minions - Canker & Sore Shadow Fiend - McCavity Golem - Tartar Dont really have a name for Bone Fiend and Wurm because I rarely use them.

[@Astawroth]

lol not a bad comparison with the flesh golem, ill try to keep that image next time i tell him to knock someone over

[@dorkvania7212]

You're right, us engineers are always there to correct people when they are wrong. It's a thankless job, seriously, no one ever thanks us.

[@0sujin]

My wife and I were watching and thinking none of this really applies to us, then you got to the 2nd type of Engineer...and I felt personally attacked

[@WarriorofChaos20]

The soulbeast bit was too accurate. I didn't come here to be accused like that

[@Exoreya]

as a necro main i can confirm that shadow abyss dye was indeed the first dye i ever bought on my account and i will NOT stop using it on everything

[@bobiboulon]

There's 2 types of elems: you forgot the splashelem who hold onto their healer build, refusing to accept there's any other healer class that can compete (don't even mention "surpass") it. They started their journey 11 years ago, with just a staff and their F2 key, while the meta heal was gardian and are still there, with a staff _and a horn_ and twice the amount of F2 key, now that the meta heal builds are druid, mechanist or scourge. I'm one of those proud elems that will never betray the true essence of splashing their comrades-in-arm. o7

[@skadii]

😂 just described me

[@stevendeslauriers1369]

Lets be real. All those mesmer portalling are usually not mains, but alts parked on X JP / minidungeon. That being said, they do spend alot of time on them porting people and we do indeed love them for it

[@kattfingerguns8459]

as a guardian main who gets a do-gooder high off of hanging out in starting zones and giving new players bags / explaining controls to them.... yeah you got it lol. Gotta be bright and visible on the screen so they can see you for directions!

[@karisuma_elli]

And just when I thought your videos couldn't get any better, you drop a total banger. I laughed throughout the WHOLE video, it was incredibly funny, EXTREMELY WELL edited and your voice over?!? I love it. 10/10 doesn't even justify how good this video was. Thank you Lara, I had a great time watching your video ❤

[@Gochna89]

I feel called out on the second part of the ranger. I assimilate my pet, I devour its soul, and wear its flesh, only to slap that sweet opening and have 3x dps more than everyone else for the first 5 seconds, until I die and get outdps by the healer. But totally worth it.

[@Vidiri]

I mainly play Thief, and I can attest that forced movement animation locking ourselves to death is 100% accurate. We're very squishy so when we can't dodge it can be lethal.

[@suparedbird]

As a warrior main that loves hammer SPB I feel called out! Too bad I can't be bothered to level up a new main, now I'm going to go bonk something!

[@msnootnoot2179]

As an Ele and Guardian main myself: yes, it’s totally true! And I never felt so offended by something I totally agree with. It’s hilarious and sad at the same time. Naaah, but seriously: Very good and funny video, Lara! It made my day better!

[@adonutplaysgames]

Finished. What a fantastic video. I was smiling and giggling the whole way through. So well made too! Top tier video Lara. Guardian main for life.

[@CalliKira]

Same and she got the commander tag thing accurate too. I don't see things in lfg that I wanna do? Ok I'll tag up and list.

[@eurasiacentertutorials9518]

Ok, you nailed me as a necromancer lol. Funny enough I use Shadow Abyss on EVERY OTHER CLASS except my Necromancer for some reason! Also, always tip your mesmer!

[@swapper5684]

Joke’s on you, I chose my class with a random number generator

[@tnnetnattninuttn4627]

But you would reroll if you had chosen the wrong one.

[@TottWriter]

this was brilliant. I am recovering from a cold and when I got to Rev I laughed so hard I started coughing, and almost choked to death. 10/10 would almost die for Laranity vids again

[@RQLexi]

All of these are so accurate 😂 I feel called out by the engineer, the mesmer and the necro, but the other ones also feel spot on for what they're describing ^^ Amazing job, Lara! This was such a nice roast - a good balance of callouts and friendliness all around!

[@battlebots1]

Super well made - can tell a lot of work into this. Love it!

[@haroldlarkin1390]

I haven't played in over 2 years and out of curiosity, I typed GW2 into the KZbin search bar. This video was at that top and was extremely entertaining to watch. I am now actually thinking about playing again. Sub'd for future content. Keep up the great work!

[@renaiya1666]

i actually almost choked on my drink when you mentioned epidemic i was like damn wow you're pretty spot on with all of this then i just lost it

[@davidbowen5443]

I just fell in love with your character. and your accent. and your videos. Anyway, your necro tank commentary was spot on. I are the scary undead Norn Necro-tank. Your video editing is superb and actually makes me laugh out loud. 10/10

[@tinypixiebread]

As a hunter I feel you are totally CORRECT, we love animals, big one small one skinny one, one that look.. dead? Ah, we don't talk about it, it is all good and pretty, now excuse me, I gotta throw my bear into the boss again

[@trixx_the_badger]

Just some stats from the Mesmer front. Portaling 12h non stop grands you about 5g in tips. The average tip per player is about 3c. And yes, those infusions are nessesary otherwise the other players won't find the portal.

[@7head7metal7]

Jokes on you, I used to play Rev and listen to nightcore while zerging in WvW! And now I main guardian... On the biggest Charr possible... oh... Damn it Lara, get it of my head! :D On another note, I would love to see a WvW-version of this topic. At least it looks like there are enough roamers bullying Lara lol

[@dominikotmianowski6943]

I've been there watching this elementalist dying and I loved it, you're a gift Lara

[@Sindrolik]

Second health bar almost launched me from my chair, that was amazing. ...The Soulbeast slander was triggering though tysm.

[@antzza9372]

best laughs in while from gw2 video thx for this lara

[@coldwind8327]

I can listen to you 10 hours straight! The video was hilarious, thank you :)

[@MrAppleFlavour]

As a guardian main, i feel so exposed. Well done, great video!

[@yammoto148]

As a Ranger main, I never let my pets tank for me. I play Untamed and if so much as a dot touches Noot noot my precious pink bird, there will be hell to pay!!! *DOOM music intensifies*

[@raeponders]

I feel so exposed as an Engi main with Ele and Revenant traits (The music does something!) ....You're flamethrower goes "brrrrr", mine just emits manical laughter...I might want to get that checked.... But this was a great video, highly enjoyed it! 😁

[@HelloFellowMellowMarshmallow]

*Flamethrower + Stability* spoiled me so much as a new player that I barely learned how to dodge anything and cried after starting Heart of Thorns since I decided to go the chronological story order.

[@TheTolnoc]

There are two types of Engineers: Those who play Holo and Mech, and those who want Scrapper and Core to be viable as DPS without kits.

[@Ines-lb9nh]

As someone who has been playing a lot of necro, I can tell you were spot on. When I see someone get one-shot my first thought is usually "mmmhhh I think I can tank that with my 2 and a half massive health bars" :D

[@frankalviani4930]

This was terrific. Even the shade cast on my main, Necromancer.

[@MoreImbaThanYou]

We guardians had our time close to the sun. In fact, we had it for so long that the aura of times passed still irradiates everything around us in a 20 mlie radius, shining bright and scorching out every semblance of non-believe. Also, guardians are still pretty good at basically everything.

[@Gravitysonic0]

As an engi main I actually expected worse. Like there were 0 mech jokes as well. Color me surprised. Now if you excuse me I gonna blast myself

[@hansgouws6590]

Very accurate indeed. Loved it. Now do one with the elite specs :P

[@coldwind8327]

Yesss elite spec roast!

[@chaoserror84]

Haha 😂, its funny because it's true on so many points 😅 And the leeroy jenkins brought back memories. Reminded me of another video: the onyxia encouter: dots, more dots, ... welps on the left side 😢

[@mattym4531]

omg the old old reference of dagger 3! Loved it!

[@papervoice977]

As a former necro main, I 100% agree on the dodge part. It was only when I found my second love (engineer) that I started dabbling in the art of the dodge. I mainly play scrapper though, so I still don't really dodge, because scrapper is tanky. But I do dabble.

[@Vidiri]

As a Thief main I honestly can't imagine not dodging. Seriously, when I accidentally animation lock myself and can't dodge some power attack I just die. Hard to imagine things when you're dead.

[@zaishenshield]

lol the sound effects when the max size guardian charr on the jumping puzzle might be the greatest piece of editing the world as ever seen.

[@dmonahan6771]

This was great! Well done!

[@25Leprechaun]

WoW I just randomly came across this video but have been a necro main since the beginning of the game, 100% accurate and You've earned a sub xD

[@fatmanpez]

I've been a Mesmer Main for 7 of the 8 years I've been playing and I don't really do Portals much but it's more to the point that I just cause enough Eye Damage to make any situation work by mashing AoE Skills with my Two-Hand Staff and occasionally switching to my Axe/Focus when I want to rip through a few Enemies.

[@HOMM4]

The part abt the warriors and them ignoring all the flashy stuff is too accurate … I sometimes even rant at the face of another shiny guardian that their gear seems to have been consuming a power compared to a small city … like chill guys , I wanna look at my monitor without squinting my eyes lmao Edit: omg , I scrolled thru comments .. where are other warrior mains ?!

[@madisondavi6623]

Hi, Bro. Warrior Main here

[@Wilderwolfman]

sorry busy being boring...... (aka the only actual unique class in the game because there arnt that many of us 😉) also she banned all of us because of HAMMER SPB?

[@KuhntaSmash]

I was an engineer main for years, but realized I was just the concept of the class but the fantasy that was in my head wasn't there in the game. Now I have grown to love the versatility of Hammer tempest.

[@Zedrie]

"Trying to complete that Meteor Shower - while standing in the middle of 20 aoe's" holy crap, I'm crying-laughing. Sub earned, this vid is HILARIOUS! 🤣

[@Medusa_plays]

When you started ranger I was like "ha! you got me wrong!" then you pulled out the tryhard Soulbeast and I was like "f*ck now she got me" lol.

[@dvid51524]

The warrior tank bit hit very close to home not gonna lie

[@T3kNoxious]

I have to say, I really enjoyed that. Thanks!

[@tombocai]

that wvw thief discription is just too accurate, I'd just add annoyingly stealth inside keeps and sm... grrr... I'm a necro main and I agree with everything, and even though I die a lot cause I'm a bad fighter, I still don't know where my dodge button is... wait... maybe those two things are related... this video is hilarious, loved it!

[@qazzzy121212]

Well you got my subscription. Great video!!!

[@Tatwinus]

As an ele main whos actually uttered the words "dont rez me my 3 is almost up" I feel so hurt that they nerfed it.

[@hurricanemarigolds2818]

"Your rotation is like playing 3 pianos at once." Excellent, I'm stealing that XD

[@tinkererpat]

As an Engineer..... I feel highly called out AND THE FACT THAT I STARTED TYPING THIS WHEN YOU SAID THEY WENT TO THE COMMENT SECTION! GET OUT OF MY HEAD!

[@benvanderplas8585]

This was so much fun to watch :)

[@hilding2063]

Very fun video, my main is Ele, but sometimes I play Necro to just chill.

[@bobw75]

1) Not at all how I play my ranger main. I play soulbeast so I don’t have to send my pet friend into battle, and still range from afar. 2) EXACTLY how I play my engineer, “flamethrower go *frrrrrrrrrrrrrrfffff.*”

[@b3hold3r]

lara trying to roast rangers: "uhhh... they like animals and do big damage"

[@Orakio]

When you got to the mesmer part about infusions all I could think about was Emi.exe and her bot command to tell you how many infusions her character has on. Unsurprisingly she's a mesmer main, though she often plays some weird elite skill no one has ever heard of before called Chrono something.

[@heretykalsciences2655]

Yes, i play necromancer cause its edgy, and full of death and decay, and has evil dark magic... and because second health bar. But i also like the signet of undeath, and like how easy it is to help revive players when theyre in dangerous areas. My mindset is entirely "I am the lord of death, and you dont get to die until I say you get to die." That and i like ghosts

[@nilotf72]

I made a Mesmer purely for others benefit - so I can show them what physical and magical perfection looks like. Also when he burps you see magical rainbow butterflies that burst into glitter as well. Fact.

[@taelius]

Ele mains: Goes downstate in the first 20 seconds, then mist fog the moment you get rezzed

[@chrispgaffney]

Love the necro description so on point 😂

[@cloudx777]

this is so damn funny Thanks Lara i really love your video!

[@LaserLief]

Nice editing. Especially the sound.

[@Tacogoat]

as a mesmer main i feel so out of place not being a radioactive glowstick amongst my peers

[@ItsMySpaceship]

I love the voiceover you did on this, very sassy

[@labdG]

The editing here is amazing. xD

[@projectsanctuary7944]

Now i want to see this, but about all of the elite specs, because they vary so much from the original theme and premise.

[@naturessmurf8740]

as a guardian main i absolutely agree that we love to be ott flashy. me personally i love the convenience of DH being the easiest class ever. stand on any mob, drop every aoe i have, and extra stuff like pulls and leaps if needed. we love living the easy life.

[@_Banjo_]

Love the debaros shoutouts!

[@emewyn]

I play ranger, and I used to be that tryhard soulbeast. But now I've grown and matured into the much more refined condi dps druid.

[@aesirgaming1014]

This video made me laugh, subscribed.

[@thebergerbros]

that horrific flying flesh minion? thats my buddy right there. second health bar...perfection lmao

[@kilobyttengames]

In my experience there are actually two types of mesmer mains. The first is the type that you describe: friendly portalers who deserve nothing but kindness for the service they provide for the community. The second are chad mesmers who reach top dps on charts who wish they did more. My bros out there with no chill riding 30k dps on CMs!! But they are still friendly and sometimes even wholesome as you describe.

[@jeffmunson4384]

So wonderful!!! Thanks :)

[@tomassebelius7262]

Fun! I swapped from soulbeast to dps druid so I wouldn't have to worry about axe 5. There where a few other reasons as well, but those where less important.

[@vidaliver1447]

The thief part is totally accurate. You mostly play pvp variations of the game because the class was made for it... even if you hate killing people (like me) you absolutely love the fact you can escape 5men party trying to catch you. And yes i never volunteer to do mechanics. Firstly, thief is very squishy. Secondly, all your skills are forcefully slotted with damage abilities so you feel like you came into instanced content on a wheelchair. Of course you want as few responsibilities as possible in such a condition. 100% accurate. Also... dagger 3 please don't throw me into oneshot or off the cliff... any of them... there's so many... :( i swear i'll touch you gently and only for a reason, just please please please be kind

[@QuintRhet]

Laughing so hard I am crying. Thank you again you wonderful human.

[@rufur2]

You forgot the second type of Necromancer looks 1. Is a death incarnate, half demon half doom, darkest edgiest dark that ever darkened the darkness 2. Is a Fuzzy wuzzy bunny pink cuteness, pinkest pink of them all

[@marthafonseca649]

Damn, nailed my mesmer to the tiniest detail, lmfao. Sharing this with my guild, haha.

[@JasonfromEarth]

9:22 My gear and fluffy mounts ARE ALL SHADOW ABYSS DYE. How did you know?! -Iksob Darkchaser

[@simplythecat4068]

You forgor that one type of engineers who play the class only for the mechanist elite spec, they're kinda like rangers lite, they just kick back, open a can of beer, and watch their mech bug out and die in the most stupid and horrible ways possible

[@JayRandomness07]

Amazing video!

[@couchchannel]

I felt seen by the necromancer introduction and I dropped to ROFL after „cut him some slack, he‘s going through some s#!t right now!“ 😂

[@Niyack]

Necromancer here, I have up graded and use Abyssal Forest or Abyssal Sea dye now! Still has that Abyss edgy name while adding some nerco color.

[@travisjames3637]

that personal attack on soulbeast mains hurt deeply idk why i love down state ok

[@lime123net]

Dodging is for the lower classes doing menial work, and you switch atunements with your mouse, but only if you see the text "imune to fire".

[@ellinaras7]

love the video,spot on! xD. also what dps add on (which wont get anet angry to lead to a ban) do you use?
