What Your Guild Wars 2 Class Says About You

[@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

[@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.

[@ivankex_property]

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

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

[@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.

[@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

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)

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

[@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.

[@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.

[@PaperLigers]

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

[@Tacogoat]

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

[@quaquaval]

Im a thief main there's nothing that you can say to expose me or roast me. "You never volunteer to do mechanics" "As long as you're alive" oh. 😭

[@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

[@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

[@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!

[@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

[@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.

[@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.

[@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.

[@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 ❤

[@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

[@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.

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!

[@arnox4554]

What if we have one of every class maxed out? No wait, don't tell me... Fashion Wars enthusiast.

[@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!

[@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!

[@Zyntrexx]

Im a proud Warrior Main and there is nothing wrong about 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.

[@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.

[@jukkininth4837]

3c? i gave 1 whole G to a puzzle in genderran. am i got ripped off?

[@zeroninehundred]

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.*”

[@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.

[@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

[@skylertaliesin3132]

i'm so glad i found this video while trying to choose a class for my first time playing. i was already interested in checking out mesmer, but this sealed the deal. everybody else can focus on 'number go up,' i'm gonna be making the line go up instead with the fat tips i'll be raking in :3

[@fluffieBread]

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

[@VinceMouse]

I think it's a little generous to say that people 'Do' Octovine. There's a lot of yelling and flailing, but it never turns out pretty.

[@MrAppleFlavour]

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

[@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!

[@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*

[@Sindrolik]

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

[@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!

[@VinceMouse]

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.

[@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.

[@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.

[@The-Black-Death]

To be fair, I only became a Revenant main because I originally played Guardian and Ranger maining greatsword wayy wayy back before I returned to the game in late 2021 since quitting in late 2014. :p And I returned to main greatsword on Rev instead lol.

[@RealCutieMutie]

As a Mesmer main I can confirm, the whole "nice" persona is just an illusion to distract you from our vault stocks :3 All that brightness is actually from all the gold we carry around.

[@hansgouws6590]

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

[@coldwind8327]

Yesss elite spec roast!

[@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

[@garethwilkins6744]

As a warrior main, I'm just a fan of building that little orange bar up and then making the damage numbers go brrrrr. Also, since we got Bladesworn, aren't we the anime mains now? ^^

[@Aranimda]

If I just want to set things on fire, should I be ele and camp fire attunement or be engineer and use the flame thrower?

[@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.

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

[@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?

[@mattym4531]

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

[@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.

[@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".

[@dvid51524]

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

[@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.

[@b3hold3r]

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

[@DreamskyDance]

wait... you are supposed to tip mesmers that teleport you to the end of jumping puzzle ? o.O I feel so bad now.. so many of them helped me so much through various jumping puzzles...i would still to this day be on a ledge in chalice of tears if there werent for a mesmer. - btw, Revenant main... not much into anime but i watched some good ones like Berserk or Claymore, or Dark Souls / Elden Ring games but that's not an anime although it seems that way sometimes.

[@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.

[@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.

[@roxasstar7957]
