Curse

The thing that really annoys me is not the damage they do, but rather that there is no way to stop the damage besides a shutdown Mez. You can't Daze them, but you can't blind them either. Which is rather stupid when just about every other class has to deal with either of those two.

I would say to make it so either Daze or Blind work on them. Or if A.Net wants to go all out they can unlink Expertise from Necro skills, but I would rather keep it a working build.

I know they aren't that great in GvG or HA, but they are still annoying in the other arenas.

So what would you do about it?

snare them and kite.

i do agree thats its dumb that blind doesnt affect them tho...its a touch after all.

There are already a million threads I've seen posting remedies to the build.

there is nothing inherently overpowered about the touch ranger. Any complaints on them are by people not bringing the right tools to counter them.

Touch Rangers suck. The players that loose to them need fixing, not Touch Rangers.

@ Mods, Please close, we don't need another Touch Ranger thread...

Often easier said than done. If you are a caster than it isn't a problem, but most touch rangers have plague touch or some sort of dodge skill on.

You just would think being a Necro skill that it would be effected by daze.

well theyre skills not spells and daze only makes spells take twice as long to cast

Touch rangers are one of my favorite builds they do seem invincible at points but you have to realize that we are close combat people. If you do cripple shots and far away damage. To all those people complaining about the build get over it.

I use the build a lot too for messing around. The thing is that not everyone is going to have a cripple ranger or a Mesmer around.

I think the most "effective" nerf without making it unplayable would make it similar to an attack. Meaning guardian, aegis, blind etc would give it a chance to miss.

Its a nice random arenas build, good for new players to get some wins and retain interest in PVP. As it doesnt present a problem for higher levels of PVP, where the build is a joke, I dont see the need to fix. Move along, nothing to see here

I've killed many touch rangers with my necro, (Massive Health & energy degen) I've even killed many with my Warrior, (Wild Blow, then they have nothing to block you and you out dmg them) and even my Ele, (spells who's aoe is around me), It's very easy to kill touch rangers, if you can't adjust your build, read the other skills you have, not just the 8 you always use.

Roughly sums it up.
