I haven't posted/played in years, but eh.
Part of me wants to tell you that touchers are ok, use em. But my good side wants to tell you that touch rangers suck, to help you...
You probably use them in AB right? Well, do you have a killratio in AB? Do you keep track of how many people you killed compared to the amount of times you died?
Well, I don't, because I hardly ever died. I, together with my team, usually got killratios of 30-0 or higher. We never died, especially not to touch rangers.
Your problem is.. well, you're melee range. and well.. you have no real selfheals and no self-protection because well, ehm, even if you have a skill, it's only one copy.
We just, you know, waltz over you. It's just that to some of the teams that know what they're doing, you die a bit less fast. Like, you live 2-3 seconds longer. That's a bit annoying... it messes up our timing a little bit.
Well we often just ignore you because you can't chase us anyway and your damage doesn't outdamage our staying power so eh, meh.
Yeah, that's what I would say about the toucher: meh.
It's meh, like, meh.
meh...
bleh
You're like... take a stancetank or a dolyak tank, something like that. Can't kill ****, but doesn't really do anything else. Just stands around, spamming a few skills.
What could the toucher possibly accomplish by doing this?
It's like, in a medieval siege... you'd have this one guy with a butter knife, carving into the stone wall... you know...
He's not really doing anything but he's so very very busy. He feels really happy too.
Argh, can't ruin his fun now can we? Let the little guy do his thing and leave him alone. Yeah, he didn't hurt anybody anyway, at least not anybody important...
I'm not dissing you or the build or anyone, don't get me wrong. It's just how I, or we, see the build. I'm not sure who we is nowadays but the few teams that do AB regularly as a team and winning a large amount of maps... yeah those know what I talk about, right? The teams with their own teambuilds?
Touchers are never part of that... they just don't synergise well, they're lonely I'd say.
You only have like, one trick... and some defense which is easily broken.
Well, dunno, what's the point?
You know...
Like...
meh

Never used it in AB or any other pvp due to a lack of fun and effectivness. I've used a variant though for glacial stone farming and my Pyre is running a toucher build, mainly because an axe fits him better than a bow but depending on the area i find him quite useful. In pve it matters less how fast you kill an ennemy and they don't run off. I can see some use for touchers in pve scince the concept ain't bad and surpasses a blood necro trying to be all vampire-like. That might have changed though with the recent buffs to life transfer and vampiric spirit.

Some people will have a couple of places where they'll use a toucher build, the Great Destroyer springs to mind, but on the whole you'll only really see touchers in ABs or RAs. While on paper the build isn't a bad one in practise you'll die, much to the amusement of everyone else. As soon as you've been snared or have some heavy degen (cripshot rangers for example) you're pretty much dead unless you can get to a monk or another healer in time.
My advice would be to play the toucher build once or twice then move onto something better and more useful for your PvE/PvP team.
Go, Evil Bunny Ninjas! Go!
