Why name 6 others, when all you really need is Apply Poison + Crippling Shot?

Well, those two and team members intelligent enough to stay out of touch range..

They need to enable speech macros, so that when you're playing your EDA derv, you can say "up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right, B, A, start" at the start of every match. I'd enjoy that. That and watching the nooblets QQ about not being able to hit the broadside of a barn.

Might have already been suggested, but would Unseen Fury combine well with EDA, you think?

Dude you have a little too much time on your hands. Also to the previous post, it would work but whats the point? other than the fact that you can't be blinded.

Unseen Fury [stance] Assassin ~ Deadly Arts
For 15...51 seconds, you cannot be blocked by Blinded foes.

I must be missing some thing..

Looks to me like he's just posted every skill that results in slowing your opponent (thus keeping the touch ranger away from you). Without actually having gone up against one, I'd imagine many of those would be less than effective counters because they need you to be close to the touch ranger to use it in the first place or, in the case of Veil of Thorns, requires the touch ranger to actually attack you normally rather than just feeling you up to be effective.

Sir Pandra Pierva · Oct 03, 2007, 04:11 AM // 04:11

lol my point was he still took the time to do that. Also I was being a retard on the skills my bad I was confusing it with sight from beyond the rit skill.

NOT CHEATING

EDA and that other skill thats like barrage, but it's not elite, forgot the name (released with gw:en), gotta try that

Zamochit · Oct 09, 2007, 06:36 AM // 06:36

poison tip signet + EDA + volley could be fun. I think poison would be removed as opposed to blind first

ayame ftw · Oct 09, 2007, 06:45 AM // 06:45

u people seem to forget that its an enchantment and can be removed

Your bad indeed. I want to see you do a dis shot on Ebon Dust.

In case you didnt know its 1/4 sec casting time.

Diversion might work, but then again your playing a mesmer and that doenst mind being blind.
Ebon Dust Aura

Str0b0 · Oct 09, 2007, 07:36 AM // 07:36

Well a good mesmer should destroy a melee opponent with ease. I agree ranger interrupts are way too slow to interrupt EDA unless you just get lucky. Diversion would only do so much. Yeah it would take a hella lot longer to recharge but I would still have it on and still be punking your melee team mates. Even without EDA a good dervish is far from useless and can still churn out impressive damage while waiting for the longer recharge time to elapse. Or alternatively the now diverted dervish could decide to go flip mode on you and beat you to death through that paper thin mesmer armor. LoL It would likely be a bad targeting decision but it would be satisfying.

ArKaiN · Oct 09, 2007, 07:12 PM // 19:12

Why do people insist in fighting 1x1. Everything in the game has counters.

Str0b0 · Oct 10, 2007, 02:49 AM // 02:49

Well I was talking about a team environment but 1v1 has a certain appeal to it. Personally I think team based PvP is kinda dull but that is just me. Unfortunately GW doesn't really cater to 1v1 it is designed for team play and all 1v1 combat is inherently broken because of that.

Faer was referring to touch rangers.

[skill]plague touch[/skill]
[skill]rending touch[/skill]
[skill]shield bash[/skill]
any defensive stance

Just because some1 runs an anti-melee build doesn't make him a cheaters. If so the [skill]gladiator's defense[/skill] tanks are called cheaters instead of noobs.

If some1 is running your counter-build you can always ignore him and work on other target. If you are his target you can always kite/run around, let your teammates finish him, and be ready to get flamed by him "U ----ING RUNNING NOOB @!$@!$&^$% I PWN UR ----ING ---".

I can only speak about Ritualists since I play one on my TV. You lumped Ritualists into a broad category of "completely defenseless"; for several reasons this is incorrect. The toon may be blinded, but the player is not. Process is button pounding in a certain sequence, but strategy is all those things a player does unrelated to the measly 8 skills on a bar. Also, I don't think you meant "defenseless" - being blinded affects only offense, and the toon should have plenty of skills that can still be used by the player that don't require "sight". Spirits and some of the new PvE skills that knock down opponents don't require sight at all. Even giants feel the force of a bear's rage. Condition removal and Armor Insignia/Runes/Weapons that shorten Conditions all keep this kind of nonsense down to a dull roar.

You wrote my answer into a much shorter sentence; "if you assume the whole game revolves around physical attacks." Ritualists are hardly "completely" anything being blinded. If you think of it this way, Ritualists are supposed to be blind or hooded (according to Lore). Only a player who lets the 8 skill bar be his/her whole world can truly be blind.

Hardly. A friend of mine, however, did miss it and I reasoned that others might too. Best to err than let direct sarcasm be seen as something else. No end of troubles then! Just look at the HoM . . ..

azizul1975 · Nov 06, 2007, 08:19 AM // 08:19

as mentioned above , [skill]Plague Touch[/skill] nullify the effect of [skill]Ebon Dust Aura[/skill]... its like saying "here, take this back...."

bye the way, does the attack skill have to hit for the blindness to trigger ? or simply activating the attack skill will cause it?
