i cant belive they made it into a skill, bye bye touchies lol

"Can't Touch This!"
Without a solid counter to touch-type skills, we decided to add a new Paragon shout called "Can't Touch This," which causes touch skills used on friends within earshot to completely fail. This will allow players to counter skills like Blackout, Shock, or Vampiric Touch more effectively.

there is a solid counter skill..its called crippling, which can come in the form crip shot, pin down, anda number of other skills, or energy denail, if they cant use the skills, they r screwed

Because it's that easy to kite a Warrior indefinately so that he can't use shock.

This is a horrid skill idea. It takes away the idea of touch skills, that they can never miss. That skill would render a whole range of useful skills useless, like palm strike or iron palm, Touch of agony/ wallow bite, etc. The best part of these skills is that you can always use them. Touchers are not that good anyway, nothing compared to the usefulness of a shock sin, or shock warrior, a good healer monk, trappers, beastmasters, shutdown mesmers, blood necro. The best builds out there are the one which work well in teams, as far as I know touchers just run headlong into the foe with thinking about teams, that dooms them.

It wasnt really for touchers Shuuda.

Its a counter to Shock and Blackout - The two touch skills that actually see play big time in High lvl pvp.

And like I said in the other thread about the skill..It'll probably be a 1...10 duration on a 45 recharge or something similar.

Yeah, and that's what it is most likely going to be used for. Still, I can't believe they gave it "that" name... oh god... honestly, if you hear the paragon shout out "Can't touch this!" people are going to look at him and go "....wha?"

I got a good one!

"Hammertime!"
Shout. If this shout is performed within 1...4 seconds after the last shout you had made, then all adjacent foes will be knocked down. This shout will force you to dance for 10...3 seconds.

i may just make a pargon to go into battle and shout "cant touch this!"

Terra Xin · Sep 19, 2006, 11:52 PM // 23:52

It's going to be the laughingstock of all skills, at least then, the haters will turn their eyes away from Otyugh's Cry^^.

I don't mind the skill really, I can get used to it... just like... Dirt Throwing. My Mesmer can't throw dirt, it's pathetic...

The only thing I'll never get used to is why they actually named the isle "The Isle of the Nameless" It looks better without a name, its the isle of the "Nameless" Name-less, No-Name, nada, not a bit!

I'm going to sit down now... oh wait I already am^^

If what you say is true, "Can't Touch This" only affects touch skills, then blackout, signet of midnight, etc. are fine.

Blackout is a hexspell, not a touch skill. Signet of Midnight is a signet, again, not a touch skill.

Plague Touch however is a touch skill, which will make other people look for alternatives to Plague Touch.

Cosmic Hero · Sep 20, 2006, 07:42 PM // 19:42

the description he put above is directly from guildwars.com, so i guess blackout is a touch skill

errmm, notice how blackout is NOT A HEX, notice how when you read blackout it says SKILL on it, please get your facts right

Touch Skills. Argument over.

yeah so gg wiki.

(and like the other guy said about touch spells).

Sol_Vie · Sep 20, 2006, 09:06 PM // 21:06

I think it's hysterical. It's a good idea, as not everyone will necessarily have a paragon in their party. But really- if the male paragon dance is MC Hammer... Well, I think you all get it.

Well ok, but even still, this skill can't really kill a toucher, cause if a W/P used it the touch could just uses his stances or blinds on the warrior to ride out the skill. But yeah, I agree with the protect Vs blackout and Shock. So, not bye bye touchers, it's bye bye shock warriors.

Xasew · Sep 21, 2006, 03:40 PM // 15:40

You don't know the energy cost or recharge, so how about not judging it right away? I'm actually guessing that it's gonna be horrible and never used.

llsektorll · Sep 21, 2006, 04:17 PM // 16:17

with $50 dollars in hand i quietly wait for the day find use my guardian angel

Cottage Pie · Sep 21, 2006, 05:24 PM // 17:24

Oh GOD.

I, like billions of others, will make a paragon just to use this skill!

Sorry, I went by the description on this web-site, not Guildwiki.
