The REAL Solution to Touch Rangers...

Anyone who has ever suffered from an annoying touch ranger rant, this thread is for you. I for one am getting SICK of everyone whining that touch rangers beat them in PvP.... They're just like any other build, it's the outstanding effectiveness, and thought put into the build that people hate, its just like any other build people use. As a Hammer Warrior I can outdamage a touch ranger, and if they have whirling on, even better, irresistable blow knockdown FTW.

Getting to the point.... The REAL solution for Touch Rangers is for people to quit whining about them and come up with some sort of countermeasure.
Backfire=No OoB for a touch with any idea what he's doing
Diversion=One touch disabled, cutting Touchie dps IN HALF
Blackout=Works just as well as it does with any other build using only skills
Devastating Hammer+Crushing Blow+Fierce Blow=Kills touchies as well as anything else.

The list could go on and on and on, but every build has a weakness, and touchies have very many weaknesses. Gotta admit though, fun to use them on 55 monks attempting a Boreway in TA.

Final point=The REAL Solution to Touch Rangers is to stop the ranting and gain some GW skill in order to take down the Touchies with, end of story.

crip shot + poison + hunters shot, just play can't touch me

Or you could just shutup about putting skills on your bar to counter them and do so by playing a counter.

lol. Already a noob post in my topic . Non to mention one none-too-well thought out, I don't even understand the post you worded it so badly. Someone who doesn't know how to say "shut up" shouldn't start speaking out against my thread, if you have a REAL reply, id like to hear it.

Do you NEED to be a spacific touchie counter to play the skills i mentioned above? No, you dont. Those skills have MANY other uses as well, GG. EX: The hammer combo i posted can kill almost anything in your path, not just touchies. Diversion can be used as an anti-monk. Backfire has countless other uses, same with Blackout.

Yayy, a new touch ranger thread. Hadn't seen one today yet.

I'm not afraid of touchies, but I'm a monk, maybe that makes a difference. Assassins and Elementals scare me more, assassins pop out of nothing and kill me fast and elementals shower me fith fire/rocks while they knock me off my feet (so I can't cast :/). Mesmers screw my enchantments and energy, also from a distance, but these rangers, theyre soooo easy to counter.

That works too, and it's near the top of the list for countering them as it has far more uses than just countering touchies.

Well if folks arnt smart enough to make a build of there own to counter their problem they dont deserve to win anyway.

What kind of monk do you play? I know for a fact Boon Prot can keep up with the DPS of two touchers at least, and other spike builds simply pwn touchers to the core.
Elementalists=More DPS than touchers, mroe spike capability.
Assassins=Outdamage touches, are faster at dealing damage than them.
Warriors=Can beat the tar out of a toucher, pure and simple.
Monks=WAY outheal.
Mesmers=Pwned with some of the counters mentioned on teh first post.

If only every player on GWG had this kind of logic XD

This is earth,not vulcan.^_^

Sadly, true :O

I play boon/prot monk indeed, I don't say I can kill touchies, just counter them, but killing stuff is not my job anyway, so it doesn't matter. I indeed just outheal and outcure them, it's childsplay really.

Uuuh..i actually think vulcans would see Guild Wars as an waste of time and find it inlogical that we go through alot of trouble and annoy oureselfes frequently for non-existent items.

So Guild Wars wouldnt even exist if this was Vulcan.

Kiting > Touch Ranger

Dodge and Zojun's Haste = GG kiting

My favorite combo? Crippling Anguish + Conjure Nightmare. Maybe add a couple more degen with phantom pain (with a nice deep wound to follow ) Mind you that also counters assassins and warriors.

Agreeded. that hammer build sounds interesting, I play sword myself so never thought of that, Wild Blow is a great one too, no Dodge . On my necro I love Wither + Malase = -4 energy degen add Suffering, Para bond, & Faintheart to that -10 life degen too I also find that touch ranger don't like my smite monk either and I think I may have found a rit build for the touchys too, need to test it though.

Gotta hate ppz on your team not kiting them, simply thinking theyll outdamage them...

Bullshit.

As much as this may REDUCE the damage taken away by kiting, kiting still mitigates damage. You should still kite a touchie even if they have dodge/zojun's haste on.
