So what else can touch rangers do?

I think all of us have seen at least one thread in the forums stating to nerf the touch rangers. This is usually because people are on the recieving end of a touch ranger in RA or AB(including Aspenwood). Put simply, touch rangers seem to do very well at this. Their self healing ability is awesome when they are alowed their mobility, and they can easily disable any melee enemies. Not to mention, they can penetrate most enemy defences (Protective Spirit, Bonneti's Defence). This seems like it would be a great solo PvE build...

But does anyone infact use it that way?

Ive heard that a complete Team Areanas team of Touch Rangers sucks as well, but Ive had a team of 4 touchers beat the crap out of me in AB, so wouldnt it work in TA as well?

Touch rangers are the new well designed build, which unfortunantly happens to annoy players. 55 monk was also an extreemly well designed build. The only difference is that 55 monks dont tend to kill other players so nobody complains.

So what else can this build do? Has anyone used it anywhere else besides AB and RA? Perhaps with these comments we can get a better view of the build, and why it shouldnt be nerfed(like the 55 monk) for being well designed.

You're 2 Months late =/

Touch Rangers Can
- Solo Many Bosses
- Solo Different types of Mobs [even mursaats

I may be two months late, but then again so are the arguments against touch rangers. Im trying to forge a legitimate reason to keep them that pars with the 55 monk, which very few people wanted to nerf because it did not play against other players, instead of playing against NPCs.

Also keep in mind, I myself am one of the few that does not have a ranger character.

I've seen one in PvE and it crushed so many monsters fast. I've also seen many 55 monks poorly played, and were owned constantly by small mobs.

There were many ways to stop a 55 in PvP (remove its enchantments and watch it die). Necros had an easy time as well as Mesmers.

Inventive builds are one of the best ways to do things, this is why Guildwars has people have 2 professions (I know you don't have to use the 2nd profession, but it is there to be used). As more inventive combos are used, there are other people creating inventive ways to stop them. Those who cry nerf are usually the ones who are uninventive or are too lazy to try to figure a weakness in a build.

Remember, if the Touch Ranger is not infused, it can and usually will be owned by a Mursaat.
