Default Why are the touch rangers overpowered?

Let's see.....because whirling defense?...NO....because plague touch?...NO... Than way? because damage of touch skills?...NO...because energy?..MAYBE...and because self-healing?...YES,that is the main reason! I have assasin,and I love play with him,but people say that he is week...that he run away.... One thing what that say is that assasin can't kill touch ranger,that there is no 1% chanse to kill toucher with assasin....but that is not true! As i said,the main thing is self-healing. I have very good assasin skill,and only 1 skill to counter them...that is scourge healing....monk skill,smiting skill What i have in my assasin build? I have 4 attacking skills-MUST be from dagger mastery,i have healing skills-Vigorous Spirit,Healing Hands and Healing Breeze and Scourge Healing-smiting skill. What is Scourge healing? Let's see: Hex spell.For 30 sec, every time target foe is healed, the healers takes 15...67 damage. ( attribute: Smiting Prayers) And why i choose assasin/monk...and not warrior/monk?.... Because assasin with high dagger mastery can attack twice in 1 hit,and he is faster with attacks than warrior....... what is very good because Vigorous spirit! So,here we come.....toucher can't heal himself because Scourge healing on him,and can't kill you because Vigorous spirit....he will have on him whirling defense....but only for about 10 sec....than you can very hardly hit him with yourcombo . What if there are 2 toucher on you? No problem....just attack one toucher,and if you need heal yourself with Healing Hands......they will see that they can't kill you,so they will go away..or they will stay fight with you,but you will kill them That is my counter for Touchers and for many other builds,because it would be stupid to have build who is only counter for touchers....what if warrior,or 2 attack you?....so this is very good assasin build who have counter for touch rangers R/N

Touch Rangers are not overpowered.

Life Stealing is not Healing. Scourage Healing has no effect on it.

Life Stealing is not Damage. It does not trigger Healing Hands.

Whirling Defense lasts for 21 seconds at 16 Expertise. No Touch Ranger should have less than 16 Expertise.

Frenzied Warriors using any melee weapon attack faster than Assassins with no IAS. Life Stealing is not damage, as such, Frenzy does not double it.

You are an idiot. Please do not post on somthing you have absolutly no clue about.

Sort out your huge block of text, and find an already existing thread to say this on.

Like Zui said, your build will not work. Also, why would you go into RA with a counter for only touchers? Then you'd just get killed by everything else.

I think your post would have sufficed with that statement alone

As I've said, the main thing is the toucher's profound ability to use self-healing. I have very good assassin skill, and only 1 skill to counter them. That skill is scourge healing: a monk skill skill from the smiting line.

What do I have in my assassin build? Well, I have 4 attacking skills (they must be from dagger mastery line), healing skills (Vigorous Spirit,Healing Hands and Healing Breeze) and a smiting skill via Scourge Healing.

What is Scourge healing? Let's see: Hex spell. For 30 sec, every time target foe is healed, the healers takes 15...67 damage. ( attribute: Smiting Prayers)

Why did I choose an assassin/monk and not warrior/monk? That is because an assassin with a high dagger mastery can attack twice in 1 hit, and he attacks at a faster rate than a warrior. Which is very good because Vigorous spirit!

So toucher can't heal himself because Scourge healing is on him, and he can't kill you because of Vigorous spirit. He will have on him whirling defense but only for about 10 sec. Then you can hit him with your combo.

What if there are two touchers on you? No problem! Just attack one toucher, and if you need to, heal yourself with Healing Hands. Sooner or later they will see that they can't kill you and will go away or stay and fight with you until death.
Well, in order to try and help others, you have to have your thoughts typed out well. I took the initiative to fix the paragraph up prior to reading it, and as I went along, noticed a few flaws in your strategy.

1 - Touches aren't heals. They steal life, and therefore Scourge Healing doesn't work on touchers.

2 - Assassins don't actually attack faster than warriors, if I remember correctly. Vigorous spirit could help, but not that much.


And now it's 2 am. I'm going to bed >_>

Hmm, I'm bored so... Here's a re-write of the OP. I re-worded almost all of the post, to make it easy to undestand and read, while trying to keep the original meaning intact. However, you should read the actualy Original Post if you want to know exactly what it says, as this is only a translation.

Because Vampiric Touch and Vampiric Bite inflict too much damage? Maybe. Because of self-healing? Yes, self-healing is the main reason they are overpowered.

I have an Assassin, and I love to play with him. However, people say that he is weak; That he runs away. One thing that they say, is that there is no chance to kill a Touch Ranger with an Assassin, not even a 1% chance, but, they're wrong.

As I said, the main reason they are overpowered is self-healing. I have very good Assassin skills, and I have one skill to counter them. That skill is Scourage Healing. It's a Monk skill, from the Smiting Prayers line.

What do I have in my Assassin build you ask? Pay attention, I'm about to tell you. I have four attack skills, all are from the Daggar Mastery line. I'm not going to tell you my skills, but I'm sure you can find four Attack skills from the Daggar Mastery line that fit your liking, and your purpose. I also have skills from the Healing Prayers line, those skills are Vigorous Spirit, Healing Breeze, and Healing Hands [Elite]. I also have Scourage Healing, from the Smiting Prayers line.

What is Scourage Healing you ask? It's a Hex Spell that reads, for thirty seconds, every time target foe is healed, the healer takes 15...67 damage. As I have already stated two times, and now for the third time, it is under the Smiting Prayers attribute line.

Why do I choose Assassin/Monk as opposed to Warrior/Monk you ask? Because, an Assassin with higher levels of Dagar Mastery can attack twice in one hit. An Assassin also attacks faster with his Daggars than a Warrior is with a Sword, an Axe, or a Hammer. That is very good, because with Vigorous Spirit, you will heal yourself more often.

Here's what you can expect to happen when you use this build against a Touch Ranger. The Touch Ranger will not be able to heal himself because Scourage Healing is on him, and he won't be able to kill you because you have Vigorous Spirit on you. He will have Whirling Defense on himself, but only for 10 seconds or so. Then, after Whirling Defense ends, you can hit him with your combo.

What if there are two Touch Rangers on you? It's not a problem, just attack one Touch Ranger, and if you need healing, use Healing Hands [Elite]. They will soon see that they can't kill you, and after that point, they will go away and attack another target. There is another possibility though, the Touch Ranger may think they can still win! In which case, you will still end up killing them.

Well, that is my counter to Touch Rangers, and to many other builds because it would be stupid to have a build that can only counter Touch Rangers. After all, if you can only counter Touch Rangers, what happens if two Warriors attack you?

As you can see, this is a very good Assassin build that can counter Ranger/Necromancers that are Touch Rangers.



EDIT: Opeth you beat me to it!

Healing Hands doesn't work on Life Steals, does it?

Still a waste of an elite...and...to repeat...

Lord Nibiru - Get your facts straight before you post some ridiculous wall of text.

Everyone makes mistakes.

Do try to format the writing a *little* bit more, perhaps. Hard to read.
