Can tell Rowan enjoys that more than picking flowers with the assassin class…
Or the vampire class.
Don't underestimate someone who picking flower. You probably must read the stronger Florist manwha about Alicia who was strongers player on New world game with Florist class.
@@darellmawitjereshilling your favorite manhwa I can respect that
Rowan should’ve gone with the herbalist 😂
@@Vedhon yup. It was one of my favorite manwha it also comedy in sometimes
The astrologer class is the most powerful in the game because they can make up anything.
* random magic bullshit go! *
@@VivaLaDirtLeague Viva la Misfits! :D
I actually really love the idea of a class that, depending on the position of the sun, stars, and planets, they get access to a different set of spells and bonuses. Like when he said "a plague is coming" they could get poison and necrotic spells. During the night they get bonuses to certain checks, like the stars could grant you strength or awareness of your surroundings, or even knowledge about the area of events that took place there. They would have advanced navigation skills as well.
They could focus their spells for increased range as well through their telescope.
It could be like a mage cleric paladin mix, where they can call on the stars to do certain things. Idk how horoscopes work but imagine Sagittarius was in focus or something, what if they could call upon it to fire arrows at their targets, or with ares make people fight eachother.
At very high levels maybe they could, a few times every full moon, change the position of the stars in the sky to make themselves get certain bonuses.
@@HelloThere.....it’s a cool concept, to be sure. But I haven’t known fantasy games to make any celestial events more significant than a moon phase.
However… I could see logic behind an environmentalist mage, whose magic is based on the elements of the local environment.
Edit: a number of replies have informed me of a geomancer from Final Fantasy that does what I described.
@@HelloThere..... Also, they get to predict the RNG. They can tell who will pass a will save.
The vampire class would appreciate the astrologer's knowledge. They could both travel by night, dicussing star signs and being awkward together.
This idea made me chuckle 😂 loved it
lol
Don't give me ideas...
"I channel the power of the moon and the sun"
"That's great Rowan, but kinda busy [fighting] so what can you *actually* do?"
"I cast Sunbeam to burn all the bandits"
"I don't see it Rowan! Where is it?? Need help"
(adjusts telescope) "The Sun is 93 million miles from Earth, it takes 8 minutes to get here!"
Delayed and telegraphed attacks would make for a great celestial planets/colossal class or enemies.
Would make perfect sense for an Astrologer that depends on planets, stars, the heavens, or moons to do there magic.
Also it would also make sense for an Astrologer to have it be a certain time or event to use certain abilities.
@@hexretro8112 "I'm sorry, Ben. I can't use moonbeam while Saturn is in retrograde."
@@hexretro8112 Precipice of Darkness 3 had the Apocalypt class. You'd cast a prophecy that would arrive in X turns, then in the meantime you could keep stacking additional prophecies on top of it, then when the time comes all your predicted effects would be applied at the same time. Really cool class concept, I've never seen anything similar
No that would be the astronomer class, the astrology class would mumble something about the sun giving off positive vibes for your social situation. +1 to charm
Britt wasn't lying, Rowan really does rock that cape. Damn.
Rowan rocks every outfit he wears. He is a model after all 😉
If only that wasn't the best thing about the class😂😂😂😂
@@jamesvan2201probably a cosmetic class that cost MTX too lol.
Capes *are* awesome 😂
Desperately needs a fancy hat to go with it
I love how confidently he delivered the line, "Positive vibes"
must be similar to inspiration spell from bard, boost the chances of crit
10% atk spd and dodge chance for 10 sec casting time 8 sec cool down 30 seconds
Ngl, that got me LMAO
If Adam had just listened and told the bandit what Rowan said, they could have won.
I want a second skit where they understand how to use the class better and it relies on high charisma users and low intelligence enemies. Allowing for buffed allies, debuffed enemies, and new hilarious persuasion option on NPCs.
Who the hell cares what you want.
@@kraanz Damn bro, I hope life gets better for you.
Well, if the D&D5E Bard gets Vicious Mockery, why can't the Astrologer class allow their team mates the ability to cast such a spell?
@@kraanz classic capricorn
@@WholesomeAbiding I hope it doesn't devolve into Cancer
2:20 Rowan just went Dr Strange on everthing XD
Brit being completely into it and understanding the gibberish Rowan was speaking was a great touch.
The astrologer has the power of Rizz. Hey babe what’s your sign? Don’t tell me, I already know.
I dont know one guy that believes in Astronomy...
@@Lodrik18You mean astrology, astronomy is an actual sciences of celestial bodies.
@@danilanaumov4081 - The reason is that modern public astrology is incomplete and modern practitioners misunderstands its original works. It is generally not useful to the average person, but it is the measure of a type of precise cosmic programming that can guide the decisions of rulers and power brokers - basically, real astrology is only truly valuable to those who are already established.
@@Lodrik18My roommate is into it, but he's the only dude I know that is, and he generally keeps it to himself.
Having the CC turned on, I see a "*Pristine Cape Movement*" caption at 0:29. I had not realized that the CC would be that descriptive.
CC's are usually top notch on VLDL videos, I always keep them turned on!
Yeah I noticed them in the past they are priceless. They are a league all their own. 😂.
Yeah, I love their CCs, I never watch without them.
Not having the CC in these videos is like missing a character. They are really part of the show.
Oh No! That means you'll have to go through all the VLDL archives & binge-watch *everything* with CC turned on!
😵💫
I love how the D&D campaigns are slowly becoming workshops for upcoming skits.
Must confess, Rowan looked really cool with the cape and the swishing hands and the magic runes and the telling of the incoming doom.
1:07 "Which means what?" "I bend all knowledge" - This is the perfect description of Astrology!
Well, astrology is bent
🤣
That is some top tier cape swishin there, man.
Even the CC agrees with you (0:29).
That's called "flourish"
Should try the "Modern Mage" next.
"I cast non-magical missle" and proceeds to pull out an RPG.
Need this!!
up
I cast Resurrection!
**Pulls out defibrillator**
Mr. Torgue moment
I cast haste!
*pulls out a bag of cocaine*
I want the next game I play to have "Rowan" as a playable class. No tool tips, no explanations, just "Rowan".
"my job here is done"
"You haven't done anything"
* pristine cape movment *
You my friend, are an as old boy as I am ^^
Tuxedo Mask moment XD
@@Quizzicalotl old memes are best memes
The Astronomer class is also really cool, but it turns out knowing that there will be an eclipse in this part of the land in 2 years, 3 months, 7 days, 14 hours, and 23 minutes isn't that useful in combat.
SO useful!
If we can postpone the battle until 2 years, 3 months, 7 days, 14 hours, and 23 minutes from now!
they should definitely do that as a follow-up video
Columbus once used his astronom dualspec to trick the natives to give him all the supplies he needed. So yes it's OP and he got a multi kill and free bufffood.
until that time comes, at which point you use it to blind your enemies without them noticing!
Ummm you're wrong. We have a total solar eclipse next week in April 8.
i love that if you have CC on, it says "glorious entrance" and "pristine cape movement" at the beginning LOL
Brit’s enthusiasm for Rowan trying out a new class and Ben not knowing anything about wine tasting needs to be a running thing! 😂
*pristine cape movement* 😂
Hi
The cape physics are out of this world
I concur my dear friend. That was an epic cape display
Little greg :>
He made a grand esCAPE too 😂
"Help Rowan!"
"The stars are not in position for my aid"
"Like he says stars, can't do it...not today"
The Road to Eldorado reference?
@@scormern yes and i smiled brightly
I'm reminded many years ago when I played a bard (the first person ever to do so in our D&D group) with psionics - they weren't too thrilled.
"Oh, conversation with your grandmother's shade in a darkened room, the odd love potion or two, but comes a doubter, why, then it's the wrong day, the planets are not in line, the entrails are not favorable, 'we don't do tests'!"
- Tyrian in _Dragonslayer_ (1981)
@@scormernindeed. Such a brilliant casting.
The astrologer class really added a twist! Had a blast watching Rowan weave magic with the cosmos. Little Greg's a solid addition, too!
When he took out that telescope, i though for a moment he'd say "METEOR IMPACT INCOMING!"
Y'know, actually flip the script and go from "weird and useless" to "Oh. The class DOES do something after all."
I would have loved Rob to be in this sketch. He loves astrology!
He even gave the ladies more enemies to farm with, as a reward. ❤️
Robs favorite thing in the world is astrology
😂😂
Edit: I've seen 3 comments mentioning Rob. He's coming for you all 😂
Rob is the main reason for this sketch.
Omg that would be perfect!
They lost because there was no bard to support them
Where is Hamish when you need him
Ya just couldn't resist taking a shot at poor Hamish, could ya?? Hasn't he got enough problems??
That shot when he was channeling positive vibes looked so sick! Freaking lighting and cape movement made him look like he's about to bust a broken move!
Seems like a legit D&D class. Bet Rob would love that idea.
Britt always likes Rowan's characters. Remember the vampire? She was the only supportive one😂
My theory is that she supports him to piss off Ben even more 😂
That's because Britt and Rowan play for fun. Ben plays to win.
Britt is his enabler
I really want to see the Vampire Astrologer😂
Well after all, she is a Capricorn
1:53 i saw your cool jump, bandit archer
Thank you for pointing it out, I had missed it.
That was dope.
Bandit archer has multiple dope jumps! Shout out to the stunt team!
Rowan: using the wisdom of the sun and moon to predict a possible plague that will befall Azarim
Brit: admiring and excited for Rowan's new class as she's then slain by bandits
Ben: completely hating Rowan's new class as he's also slain by bandits
Adam: utterly confused on what the hell is going on as he's slain by bandits
Alan: holding a cute plushie of himself, which is adorable
"Rowan, do something useful!" The central sentence of all skids where Rowan appears! 😂
Can you imagine a duel between Hamish's Bard and Rowan's Astrologer?
It would take forever.
Yes, please. The world needs this.
A duel or a team-up would be awesome.
Hamish low diffs
I'm thinking it would end up being a nerd slap fight, with a lot of screaming and crying.
Ben: accidentally spill coffee
Rowan: *A PLAGUE IS COMING*
Nah that'd be the Oracle class. Or.. Diviner? Maybe Soothsayer.
@@Ryuchitoran I guess you're right, but Rowan yelling "A Plague is coming!" had me dying 😂
Thou shall not spill your own coffee, or that of others.
(4th rule of coffee).
I was actually expecting a plaque of locust to Accost their enemies.
That's actually an awesome class... For an NPC.
This is why you also need to bring along your numerologist, tarot reader, tea leaf reader, and physic medium. One of them is bound to get something right. If not the magic 8 ball foretells all. Plus it's cheaper than planting a money tree.
Again... I just love Brit's character hahahahaha 2:47 "Actually, Ben, out of this context it's kind of a good way to allow for communication" (she dies) "...and instrospection" (then I DIED!)
She forgot "incredibly toxic" 😅
Practicing ignoring logic and statistics is not of net benefit.
Just use the words directly if you want to talk or introspect about these topics.
Rather than arbitrarily attaching these words to lables while ignoring logic and statiatics.
@@Dogo.R Calm the fuck down 🤓
@@LiberatedMind1I think they're a logical class.
@@Dogo.R "attaching these words to lables while ignoring logic and statiatics." How is that worse than you ignoring how to spell "label" or "statistics"? Instead of "Just use the words directly", how about using the words correctly?
1:08 - "I bend all knowledge in the cosmos". Rowan's right, he did instantly come across as a total bender! 😂
There are many powerful benders in the west.
-Someone in Avatar. Probably.
He is indeed a total bender 😂
Transbender
I think what he meant to say was "I bellend all the knowledge in the cosmos!"
Thank you so much for returning to the plushies! I didn't order the Eugene when I could because I always thought the "Epic" in "Epic NPC" meant that they were self-aware, and even Ben's Charles the Mugger was more self-aware than Eugene. I regretted it though, I would have really loved to have a Eugene plushie to see me through Covid. Here's hoping sometime in the future we will be gifted another shot at Eugene, as well as other, well-loved recurring characters.
That was actually profound on so many levels. And hilarious! Well done.
I really like that Britt likes everything that is beautiful, even if it is useless, it didn't bother her when Rowan was a vampire either ❤
She’s always there to support Rowan! 😂
@@VivaLaDirtLeagueBoth to be nice, and to enrage Ben. 😂
She really did have a great fun energy in this one
@@joshuaingram571 True... True 🫣
@@sanjilops1103 that's true, without question! I wish you all the best ;)
Like a reverse bard. They don't buff their allies, they make the enemies feel bad about themselves
isn't that just vicious mockery?
I imagine being stabbed also makes somebody feel bad, and is more effective.
@@davidbergfors6820your mom's just vicious mockery!
Am I doing it right?
@@davidbergfors6820 and Cutting Words, and other great Bard features. And since allies usually forget to use their Bardic Inspiration anyway, or wait for just the right moment to use it (aka never), those are the best Bard abilities!
This is probably my favorite sketch you guys have made in 7 years
Being Adam in this situation is so relatable. Just general confusion while going low profile and rolling with it.
the astologer's ability is insults but cooler
I thought this guy was Stars Druid not a Bard
Vicious Mockery without the 1d4 damage and disadvantage
I am 89% certain Britt wrote this. Next time, you've gotta include Rob, he *_loves_* astrology.
Big troll energy
Even though the class sux, Britt was fangirling the entire time - the most girly I've ever seen her on this channel. The equivalent of Poison Ivy's fascination with Kite Man on Harley Quinn.
Britt did indeed write this one. Marvellous script 😍
@@jamesrawlins735 Kite Man, hell yeah!
@@VivaLaDnDLogsKite Man and Golden Glider are getting a spin-off this year - they open a bar near the LOD.
"Very Capricorn of You!"
Rowan trying out new clases are always the best videos!!
He looks so good in his outfits too!
Rowan's flamboyant class characters are hilarious!
I love how any of these classes dont actually do anything
I was expecting a plot twist where he roasts the enemies and actually take them down 🤣
To be fair, they didn't follow his advice. It could have worked. I was personally waiting for the plague to take out all the bad guys. Combat probably ended too soon.
True. "I won't do it" from Adam, Ben turning his back towards the attackers, they're all that busy with buzzing over Rowan they don't really fight anymore. (Sorry for Britt)
And, at the end, he's running. Obviously, he knows why. ;D
How he's picking out various instruments out of nowhere is priceless 😂😂😂
I love that he seemed to be consulting the stars with them in the middle of the day :)
2:22 The spells of cheap newspaper horoscopes nailed it! 😀
Okay, but that cape is actually marvelous ... it must have a weighted hem to swish that satisfyingly.
i was waiting for a scene where Rowan casually explains to a bandit how his starsign is responsible for his broken relationship with his parents, which then make him too emotional to continue fighting.
Same
considering the ending of the video was just accidental footage of rowan's regular everyday behaviour, I'm so glad that wildlife documentary could be repurposed for the skit ✨
This needs to be an Epic NPC Man Saga, this was hilarious.
This one is great! I love Brit's reaction to Rowan's look. And I love how Rowan is levitating with yellow light while his friends are trying to survive🤣
There are 2 kind of astrologer classes:
Does nothing
Randomly summons a blackhole when attacking, turning your opponent into a dark star consumable
There is no inbetween
You're confused, that second one is an ability of the astronomer class
Astrologian from FFXIV would disagree with you. They litterally attack using miniature black holes, AND read constelations to predict the future.@@darkfoxxbunyip
@@darkfoxxbunyipso astronomer as a subclass of an artificer?
...Not if you are a FFXIV Astrologian. Then you make a star bomb that heals you and kills enemies.
@@Lukashoffmann94 Hmmm... I guess so? You need telescopes and such for astronomy so being an artificer who can make those seems useful
Somehow still elss effete than his vampire character.
Which is surprising!! 😅
I think I would like to see them make fun of the logic of taming a dragon to become the player's pet
That cape that Rowan is wearing is really cool. Maybe the astrologer class has some combat abilities, but Rowan hasn't discovered those yet.
All I want now is an astronomer class to call out the astrologers
Yes!! And it has to be Ben because he would do it just to annoy Rowan
No no Robert is puuuuurrrrfect for the astronomer class
Of course Rowan would be the one to try out the weird new class and find out the hard way that it's not very useful.
Why is it not useful? He is the only one to survive where other mediocre classes died😂
I don't think whatever he was doing was "the hard way". 😆
then if good class kick in, he will skip it.
Given that astrological signs are a core part of this game’s levelling system, you’d think the astrologer would be quite powerful
This is the most accurate description of an astrologist ever.
3:00 That cape is so good to watch flowing by the air actually.
I bet he cast "Billow" beforehand...
The cgi is outstanding! I'd love to have the Corridor Crew weigh in!
now the astrologist should be inflicted with vampirism so rowan can have the best of both classes
There goes his ability of harnessing the power of the sun.
@@ElnotronicOh not necessarily. I once read a novel about a sun priest who got turned into a vampire. In the final boss fight against a powerfull Vampire he used his clerical powers to destroy the vampire (and burning himself to a crisp in the process). So Rowan could harness the power of the sun, but it would be more of a one time use spell :p
Shalltear Bloodfallen from Overlord can wield light/holy magic. If Rowan becomes a power player and focuses on min maxing his character, he might be able to pull it off.
@@Elnotronic he can harness it just at the expense of HP
Khemri in a nutshell.
This is by far my favourite Epic NPC Man skit, I’d even put it above Muggers and Puppies, maybe even Baelin (but never Baelin Frog)
I was really hoping for a comedic turn in which they listen and end up winning, but it’s even funnier with Rowan being useless in this one
A 0.5 second of feelgood vibes interrupted by a 0.6 second blade thrust in the guts.
"We mustn't quest today."
"What? Why not?"
"Mercury is in rEtRoGrAdE!!!"
"Oh, for the love of..." * Proceeds to pommel strike astrologist into a viscous, fine paste. *
ended rightly
*is instantly crushed by Mercury falling on earth due to butterfly effect ".
Aww I live how excited and supportive Britt was
Actually I can see an astrologer working in concert with another spell caster, letting them know which spells would be especially potent or ineffective depending on the stars alignment.
When Alan said at the end "Do you know what's cuter than Greg?" I expected Rowan to pop out and say, "Me, of course".
Brit being totally into it was priceless! How can you not feel good about yourself when Brit says "you look so fucking good right now", LMAO 🤣🤣
I sense the hand of Rob behind this
Haha, Britt wrote this episode! ❤️
@@VivaLaDirtLeague would have thought she'd have made the class much more OP lol
@@VivaLaDirtLeague You don't say? "Actually Ben, outside this context it's kind of a good way to allow for communication and introspection".
@@VivaLaDirtLeague She needs to do more! This was hilarious!
Little did they know that Rowan's "good vibes" spell actually revives them upon death, making them feel groovy and chipper. And it sparkles, the more useful of the effects.
I love it when videogames mimic reality, cause that subclass looks as useful as the real thing
You know who else loves the astrology class?? ROB!
0:55 Britt's look of approval cracked me up big time🤣

Okay but seriously this makes me want for more 'out there' classes in my games rather than the usual suspects.
Brit isn't a mushroom any more. That's good to see.
Class perk: exclusive capes/cloaks transmogs
Level 1 ability:
* extra cape movement
* +5 skill points to guess zodiacal sign
* +10 to performance (bad omens)
I really wanna see this new class explored more. Imagine everyone thinking it's completely useless only to find out that the reason why it's useless is because Rowan is just speccing into it poorly because he's more interested in the less practical skills.
Meanwhile, Elden Ring astrologer:
- put 2 extra levels into int
- book it to Caelid
- get Rock Sling and the Meteorite Staff
- steamroll everything in the early game + cheese everything that has high ground nearby
Robert was on the call sheet for this, but saw the title and noped out.

I know Player Characters in ENPCM always are „aware“, like they just talk like normal people compared to NPCs, but what if a Player Character is just an NPC that can't control what he does because the player controls him. That would be a fun sketch. Idk Rowan as NPC being moved around uncontrollably while he doesn't know what's going on
From being a useless vampire class, but only half of the time, to the full-time useless astrologer class. What an improvement.
Astrologian existed in FF14 as support using cards. Ngl the mechanic is so damn cool and above all USEFUL lmao
I main AST. It's my favorite healer. Heals and damage buffs? Heal yeah.
FF14 Astro is 👌🏻
First thing I thought of when I saw this video, unfortunately for the party it wasnt as useful as AST

Ok the new class is Awesome! But can we talk about Little Greg for a moment. He is so cute that they might bring Greta back
I love how at the beginning, the guys are unimpressed and Britt is as if it's a cheeky wink and a nod to the absurdity of astrology
