RE: Touch in Ab ^^. 

What u want us to say?

Congratulations!! U are a mindless Touch Ranger who has no Skill at all! You should be proud that u use an irritating build that even the most dumb players can use (My brothers 8 and even he can play a touch ranger...)

Go ahead and show to every1 how u beat people that use REAl builds!! Like I give a #@/= (sry for language)

No, seriously now

I ask myself, if u wanna show all of us that u are one of those UBER touch rangers that pwn every1 and so on and so on... Why are u afraid to show us your name and the names of the other brave touch rangers in your group? Maybe cuz u know that Touch rangers are a build that even the biggest n00b can use and u know that people hate it! It's lame, it's stupid, it's irritating (no I'm not talking about mesmers now, they use REAL Builds that depend on combo's and stuff)

and for what it's worth it, I find that people like u, who show of with how nice they can kill other people with this abusive build are just plain stupid! I prefere a mindless tank warrior that rushes into battle over a touch ranger anytime

RE: Touch in Ab ^^. 

I agree with Dark about everything he just said. We dont need people like you on the forums spamming stuff like this literally and with the touch n00b build.

Besides have you checked the map recently. Luxons aint doing so well

Go get a real build

RE: Touch in Ab ^^. 

What is so wrong about being a touch ranger?

If it were unfair it would be nerfed. Its a legitimate build that works extremely well. I dont know why people flame Touch Rangers just because they found an amazing combination between two proffessions.

RE: Touch in Ab ^^. 

Nerfing touchies is not an option since itll de-balance necromancer. However i agree that touch ranger is a lame build; i disagree to the fact that it is annoying. touchies are so easily overcome and actually weak. However no-one really seems to think about how to disable a touchie. I love 1 on 1's with my mesmer or bloodspiker against them. Every time it proves for me how weak touchers actually are.

RE: Touch in Ab ^^. 

my big gripe with touchies is that they arnt flexible at all. they take one set of skills and so when i take my warrior with IB and levitahns sweep (both do damage even when evaded) or my mesmer with 2 interrupts i always get flamed about being a noob. just because i spread diversion like a bad habit doesnt mean i'm the noob. that and if a touch ranger comes under fire from an ele, well they are screwed. so you know what the build is retarted, easy to play but that isnt what angers me, it is the fact that it is over played even when it is so easy to counter.


COME ON PEOPLE START BRINGING ANTI TOUCH SPELLS AND SKILLS. STOP COMPLAINING ABOUT THEM AND DO SOMETHING!!!!!!!!! (sorry for the caps just it is supposed to be like a call to arms and sicne i cant add any verbal effects caps just seemed right)

RE: Touch in Ab ^^. 

Dark you are the man! You took all the words right out of my my mouth! +cred for u my friend!

When touchers first started their noobish quest to see how many decent and even skilled players they can beat with the most noobishly noobish (i love saying that ^^) build in the world I was very ticked. So ticked that I didn't play PvP for a while. Then after I stopped and thought about it, by me conseeding (spelling?) to the toucher rangers and giving up, that made me look just as noobish as them. So I decided enough was enough and when I saw a toucher in Random Arenas or an AB battle or anything else, I just laughed and carried on with what I was doing. After a while they just become old news and no matter what build I use I find it very easy to kill them, you just need to know how to handle them ;-)

And that's what I think. So basically moral of story who cares if people are using toucher builds, they're just admitting that they can't do anything and shuld just go %$#@ themselves (sry about language)

again, nice post Dark +cred for u



ill get around to making a new sig later

People people, these are supposed to be friendly forums! :D
If he chooses to use touchies, he can do that and I don't see any reason to get flamehappy at him. :)

All he did was to put up a few screenies using a build and thought he'd show his PvPing moments. I didn't see any offensivness in that so you shuoldn't be so aggressive towards him either.

RE: Touch in Ab ^^. 

I don't see why everybody gets so worked up about Gropers.
I've never been one myself but i know ppl who have, and they aren't noobs with no skill, they are good GW players trying out an intriguing build.
Yes, it is a good build for noobs, because it's straight forward, but but these noobs are the touchers that die easily.
I've come up against good touchers that also know how to stay alive.
You can't stereotype all touchers as noobs simply because they aren't. Just because something is easy, doesn't mean you can't play it with skill.

RE: Touch in Ab ^^. 

+credit for Parappa. Thats how I feel about a toucher. And as far as a toucher being owned by another proffesion of course it happens but not as often as you would think for a toucher that is run right. Degen is the only thing I havent been able to stop as a toucher so bring it on. Even the lame assasin build that people are running I give em credit but I also have a solution for them to. Again (good) touchers FTW.

for me, every player who plays Toucher, gets no respect from me, Touchers simply DESTROYS the fun in RA, its not fun a player that presses 1-2-1-2-1-3-4-1-2 etc, can go around every little defends i had, Destroying my Warriors job and my Assassins, and MONK! its not even funny.....
and No i am No mesmer, and i hate this Build and every little one that plays it

RE: Touch in Ab ^^. 

Welcome Gameamp, X Direct x.

Unfortunately, you have started a touchy (pun intended) subject. Touch rangers invoke a love/hate emotion in GW. I am not saying it's your fault at all. We are just avid and passionate GW'ers. :-]

I, myself have no reason to have either since they really haven't bothered me. Currently my only experience with them is as an ally in the Ft. Aspenwood challenge mission. I was teamed with 2 of them. I was a massive degen/vamp N/Me at the time.

The hilarious thing was the opposite side screamed touchers in all chat but focused on me when they realized my build. :D I also had thge pleasant experience of going 1v1 with their degen mesmer when we were running around. :)

*ouch*
AND.. i hate touchies, and i am just starting to play a little ab's, since i havent been too intrigued with PvP normally, but the ab aspect of havoc is kinda fun. After repeated annoyances by touchies killing my warrior, i found some success with simply using healing breeze, purge conditions, and warriors endurance. With those skills and a typical sword damage/bleeding/weaken build, i found myself taking quite a bit of glee in burying touchies face down in the dirt.

Hmm, I am thinking Anet could put a small leash on them without ruining anything else. Eliminate the use of duplicate skills. Makeit so you can use the Prophecies version, or the Factions version, but not both together.

I soooooo luv that build-against almost anyone, not just touchies.



And a fair warning to all: keep it nice and clean. There are ways to state your opinions *without* degrading/talking down/humiliating anyone.

RE: Touch in Ab ^^. 

touch is such an easy build to use, and also such an easy build to beat. rather than call us newbs (i can do more than touch, i just think its really fun) why not just kill us, repeatedly.

If you want touch gone, keep killing touchers till it is no longer fun to play.

on antoher note....it isn't really a big deal to brag about winning with 4 man touch, i have been doing it for the past hour or so. Kurzic FTW!

just occured to me, technicaly this holds true for most assassins using their combo, and probalby alot of warriors...i would imagine that actually holds true for pretty much any class besideds monk, since they have to click a injured ally first.

RE: Touch in Ab ^^. 

nice plan about makin' it so you can't use duplicate skills!

The best thing to do, which wouldn't make necros any less effective is to change vampiric touch and all of those skills to simple spells (or, alternatively, change the description of skills to 'necromancer skill' so you can't use expertise in conjunction wiht it)..I know it's technically not a spell to bite/touch someone but hey, if it nerfs touch rangers i'll ignore that. Another thing is to make it that Expertise only applies to ranger skills.

Also, it's all well and good saying 'oh just take a mesmer' but mesmers aren't that good in that they are normally only effective against one type of build. So if you take an anti-toucher build, you can bet you won't see one until you get bored and go on another character, when you will get beasted and thing 'damn.'

in my opinion, simply make it so expertise only applies to ranger skills, i see no reason why it should apply to other skills as well anyway... ranger/expertise... implies that there is a positive about being an 'expert' in your chosen field. To me it only makes sense

noo we're not crying, we're just bitching because it's so unorigional and takes 0.01% skill to use (the 0.01 is to press 1 and 2 repeatedly, with the occasional 3, 4 or 8 when someone else in your party gets killed)
