They burn CTT! on Plague Touch then proceed to Bite/Touch you as normal while you wait on that 20sec cooldown.

Cripshot is /win vs touchies.

how bout pindown+running skill? thats only 2 non-elite skills that keeps you at enough distance (so can be combined with a 'real' build).

for example: combine it with flatbow and conjure needling/barrage and u can do quite some damage. Or combine it with windborne speed(the conjure build) or "cant touch this"

OK, all you folks that want to run can't touch this on your ranger's go ahead, just remember I say you are dumb if you do. It's been explained how they get past it only saving you 3-4 seconds. It's a huge waste of energy and (duh...) attribute points. So go ahead, but I won't forgive you. Degen and cripple work really well since they cant touch you (even without the stupid para skill).

No

Pindown can be blocked
Also it can be dodged unless you are running RtW/FW.
Barrage is bad. People don't group up and Preparations I heard were good.
Windborne Speed is better for Eles, but is still not a good skill.
Can't Touch This is a waste of a skill slot, secondary, and attributes.

Another awesome post by the person who can't interrupt 2 second casts.

Maybe you should just not recommend skills anymore..

The answer was already posted.

Crip Shot, Apply Poison, and maybe a lucky D-Shot.

Magebane stops one Touch, but then they get at least two more before Magebane is done recharging. Also, predicting an OoB is hard.

Crip Shot lets your team kite away from at least two/three touchers. They hopefully burn their Dodge/Haste to get you, and let some melee pressure them before Whirling/LR is back up.

Barrage removes preps. It also works best when people are bunched up. People don't usually bunch up and people don't just stand there either.

You are awesome. When did Anet change touching skills = 2sec cast? LMAO and why would you have to interupt if you just use the skill and laugh at the touchers? The tittle of this thread is "How does a ranger beat a R/N." Thanks!

To "Divine: Curious divine, why do you need Oath Shot for that build? Aren't Magebane or Crip Shot work better? Just spam Crip Shot and toucher will be dead in no time.

Yes waste points in a crappy secondary for a shitty skill which stops them for all of 3 seconds wow you have really thought this one out! We COULD tell him a good build to run instead of suggesting shit....

2 second cast? just coming from the Magebane thread where you say interrupting a 2 second long cast is difficult..... which really means that you're a very poor player when it comes to rangers. Hell Touchers are very easy to interrupt because they only spam 2 skills.

Actually, you said to run it with a pet or spear.

Pet attacks don't trigger Anthems. Wild Throw is a nice skill, but it requires 7adrenaline per use. How will you maintain enough adrenaline to hit a Toucher who uses up to 3 blocking stances?

You'd be much better off using Wild Throw to trigger Crippling Anthem in that build. Please don't post the rest of it, by the way.

Cripshot + Apply is much better, and it only takes 2 slots on your bar. And if the toucher has Life Siphon, then Distracting Shot should be on your bar as well, unless you are bad.

Not for 4 energy on a 1-second recharge. Its also much easier to dodge a spear than a recurve bow.. especially since a toucher will likely be in a 33% speed boost stance.

Did you read it? Wild Throw + Crip Anthem?

Why do ppl come with a conclusion when they don't even read/think?

And no Crip Anthem is 4 Adreline not 4 energy. At 9-10 Command, it lasts 10-11sec. Plus you have the pet that can cripple as well. Wild throw remove stances if you need me to explain. The only problem is that if the toucher run Plauge Touch or Plauge Sending (range). They can remove the condition off themself w/o prob! But that's also the prob with Crip Ranger. That's why there's a pounce in your bar to get some kd before toucher can do much.

Oh believe it YES THEY DO! If you don't know the BEAR can DO IT? Jeez Read carefully plz! And again Plauge Sending can actually remove conditions from distance. And yes of course Crip Shot will screw R/N. But if R/N know it, they would bring D-shot and D-shot ur Crip Shot be4 you can cripple them. But it's just theory if toucher is good.

Yes, I know about the bears triggering anthems, but I can't believe you're advocating running that trash instead of Crippling Shot.

Toucher sees bear.
[skill]Throw Dirt[/skill]
Kills bear.
Your bar is disabled.
Toucher kills you.
