Correct me if I'm wrong.. but I was told that expertise only works for skills..

the necro blood magic touches are spells...

if expertise only works for skills.. then this whole r/n touch build is kinda useless and pointless.

Just a question I could be wrong.

look at vampiric touch and vile touch in game

Lady Lorwinia · Mar 15, 2006, 05:24 AM // 05:24

I did. That's why I posted. They are both spells.

no, vamp touch is a skill...

touches are indeed skills with 13 expertise vamp touch is the low price of 7 energy and at 15 its 6 they work believe me, its one of my favorite builds

Damn anet for nerfing blackout. Before the nerf with a combination or QZ or SQ and 12 expertise I could constant blackout someone for the duration of QZ or SQ. You just let the touch ranger overextend since he thinks hes so leet, then body block, blackout, and let the warriors do the rest.

Just a word from experience...Vamp Touch, Touch of Agony...both skills. With expertise at 16, VT costs me 5 energy...with the gear I use, I can spam it to beat hell...+65 health each time for me (blood at 12). Dunno what the banned fella above was trying to say exactly, but I can hold my own against most. With Throw Dirt, WHirling Defence and Escape...I'm kinda hard to hit. Plague Touch sends conditions right back off of me...oh, yeah...it's a skill too. Skills that cost 15 cost me 5, skills that cast 10 cost me 3 and skills that cost 5 cost me 2....with druids armor and the collector's blood staff from outside port sledge i have 47 energy (lookin to better soon)...If you still doubt it...give it a try...it's wicked fun

There are other "spells" which are actually skills out there. When I go back to lower level areas with my ranger I often go as a /monk beastmaster with Holy Strike and Smite, both of which benefit from Expertise.

Lightning Touch + Shock also qualify as skills.

OK all yall need to push [K] and Sort By Skill type and look whats Under "Skill"

anyhow I wanted to see how the whole party would do with the body blocking in practice arena, but due to lack of RL friends who play anymore and a Guild, and the lack of abilty to play on my main machine I havnt got the chance...

Anyhow the there are other touch skills in the ele department some cause exhuation and the energy managment isnt that good, plus the lack of fast cast's leave R/N in the lead...
