I was thinking of this build
http://gwshack.us/2496a

first time i use gwshack so i name here that atts should be
Blood Magic 12+4
Shadow Arts 12

there is a main problem with this build,and it is energy management...i still havent solved this part and i am willing to leave an assasin skill out to do that,but its still under construction and i was just asking for opinions.

Thanks in advance

Sadly you are missing out on the one thing that makes Touch Rangers work; Expertise. As you said, this build will run into energy problems.

Also Rangers have the benefit of being slightly less squishy, which is why you don't mind them being quite as up close and personal. Not to mention Touch Rangers as a whole are a bit of a gimmick, therefore trying to create a build that does the same thing but not quite as well is probably a waste of time.

Since its a touch build, you should have Dark Aura to utilise the sacs you do.

Still, I don't see how you can compete vs Ranger's expertise. I mean for them it works perfectly, since expertise give you nice speed boosts also. You need such a hefty e-management for the 2 15en vamps to supply you with health for your other two skills.

Literally 3 touches and your bottomed out if you are not using the +15,-1 wands/offhands.

gwshack version of your build with attributes (+ the skills now have the right numbers): http://gwshack.us/8da96

Anyway: I agree with JR and jummeth.
