"Cant Touch This" just became my favorite GW skill.

WOW it just became "Hammer Time" for touch Rangers

Payback is a bitch!

If you took Song of Concentration out of the picture (I'm probably willing to bet money that it is changed to next spell, or some similar nerfage) then it is interuptable..

Don't Choking Gas rangers still take Seeking for these situations?

Oi, dont underestimate this new mesmer signet! If the skill does as currently described mesmers will be able to cast one spell from either Energy Storage, Divine Favor and Spawning Power. Now the question is.. will this signet be an elite or not?

A monk can also use it to protect against a mesmer suddenly running up to you

Considering its AoE effect and cannot be removed any longer and it gets a lil too powerful.

Eliminating only 3 playable skills in the entire game is overpowered? Right.

lol first sight at "Can't touch this" cracked me up

Anyways i think its probably gonna have like a 15-30 recharge with around 10 secs of duration. And finally I can be the one chasing the touchers

WOW this is really going to affect AB battles hard core. I can't wait to see the effects. I hope it’s a 10 sec recharge time or less.

Eliminating ONE skill from the game with no huge effort is not balanced..

Eliminating all Touch skills in general for no huge cost is gamebreaking. If it was up all the time it would probably cost more than you'd ever want to spend on it energy wise.

So... spell breaker has broken the game into 10 billion pieces

a while back I was reading one of those "omfg nerf touch rangers" threads because I was bored, and one of the replyers said to him what to do in case of a touch ranger, and then said there isnt any other way unless a new skill is added....

quote: I'm using "Can't touch this!".

Looks like the touch ranger complainer got what he wanted, haha.

Spell Breaker is 15 energy, only affects ONE target, and it STILL can't be up all the time unless you use arcane echo, which is more energy. Even then, Wop and chilblain etc can still remove it.

Ohh and healing touch won't be affected since it only prevents offensive touches on Allies

I am far more interested in signet of illusion... Waiting for the info on recharge/cast time.

16 attribute for any spell in the game...? Too awesome. I doubt it will change the next spell into illusion type thou (mantra of persistance). I hope they don't go "next mesemer spell", although that would still be great.

For all you know it could be for 4..9 seconds. Until you know the energy/recharge time/duration, you cannot say this is too powerful. Also, if it was next touch skill this wouldn't even put a dent in touch rangers.
