The touch ranger, a totally hated build, more-so than IWAY was in it’s high day. However we’re using it in a different way than PvP. Where we take our touchers, it’s more profitable than anything in PvP.

The Build:


Plague Touch – For condition removal, works well as it’s a 5e skill and you can spam it if you get a lot of conditions
Vampiric Touch – Damage and healing
Vampiric Bite – damage and healing (the factions duplicate of vamp touch)
Offering of Blood – for your energy management (I’ll explain when to use it later)
Whirling defence – protection
Lightning relexes – protection
Throw Dirt - protection
Dodge – getting to/away from the boss

16 Expertise, attained by 12+mask+sup rune
12 blood magic

The equipment:
Ideally you will have:
A sword with +5 energy, and +7 against physical
A blood offhand, I recommend the blood offhand From Attendant Nashu in the marketplace (5 putrid crests)
A longbow of any stats
And full druids armor to top it off.

Tactics, this is where the challenge and the fun comes in, you get to solo plenty of level 28 and 24 bosses AND anyone who happens to be around them.

When you come upon the boss you want to kill, the best starting tactic is to pull him alone with your longbow, if this doesn’t work (and there are several that won’t pull without a group along with them) you get to do it the hard way. Rush in with dodge and when you get there hit WD and start spamming vamp touch and vamp bite until you get to 20 energy, then hit OoB and resume spamming, when WD runs out hit LR and go until you’ve killed as many of the bosses cronies as possible. When you run out of energy completely and OoB is still recharging, go ahead and zojuns haste back out. Using hit and run tactics like this you can take a fairly large group a small chunk at a time.


Some bosses also are too hard to take in one go, so go use all of your energy on him (using OoB generously) and when you run out go ahead and dodge/zojuns back out and give yourself a few seconds of regeneration – but don’t take to long as the longer you wait the more time the boss has to regenerate too.


It would take to long to point out strategy for every boss out there, so I’m just gonna give a hit list:

Craw Stonereap
Cultist Milthuran
Ritualist’s Construct
Geoffer Pain Bringer
Warden of Saphrophytes
Lian, Dragon’s Petal
Meril Stoneweaver
Chkkr Locust Lord
Whispering Ritual Lord
Bzzyr Wingmender
Cultist Rajazan
Ghial the Bone Dancer
Reefclaw Ragebound
Darkroot Entrop
Rahse Windcatcher
Strongroot Tanglebrance
Wing, Three Blade
Untouched Ancient Ky

Good luck getting the greenies you want, and I’m sure there are more bosses out there that can be touched by this build.

very nice rogue.

  Dark Knight on 09/21/06 15:55

I hate touchers in PvP, and have no respect for them. But this is Verrry Cool, I had no Idea that touchers could be so good for pve. (And have nothing against PvE touchers :D)

  madman24749 on 09/21/06 16:00

This is the exact build that I use -.-"
And note there are a lot more bosses that you can solo with a toucher

  Albino Monktress on 09/21/06 16:19

oh ty i needthis i was looking for a build to solo wing im gonna go do it right now=)

  camy009 on 09/21/06 17:43

lol i just had a kool idea. u know the touch ranger. wat would happen if we switch it with touch sin, the shadow skills and the 4 energy reg might make it even better or at least surpise the other team.

the point of it being a ranger is to use expertise to lower the cost of the 15e skills to 5e, so you rarely run completely out of energy.

an assassin would have 4 regen yes, but would be spending 15 energy each second.

How do you solo Wing? He always uses Healing signet. Do you use interrupt for it? Otherwise you cannot defeat him.

  Rogue on 09/22/06 09:54

for wing if you're having trouble (usually you can overpower his healing signet) switch out dodge for distracting shot and wield a bow until he uses it the first time.

then you'll have 20 seconds before he can use it again.

ty for this, i use my touch for everything, including pve and pvp, but ppl hate adding me to groups, i can't hide that i'm a touch name being touch me tease me. I hope more ppl will stop calling touch a noob build ,juts because it can counter the mindless noob tank builds.

go ahead and zojuns haste back out


Am I missing something here or zojuns is not in the skillbar? Or maybe you substitute something with it?

  Majin Robert on 09/23/06 11:35

Very nice. I cant wait to try this.

Zojuns Haste is the same thing as dodge, i wasn't thinking about it when i wrote it obviously.



no it's not my idea, but neither is the 55 monk, people have written hundereds of guides to 55 monking, as far as i can tell (from your thread on guru being the only other one i've seen) there are TWO guides on this. GameAmp didn't have a guide on this, now it does, case closed.

  madman24749 on 09/24/06 04:20

To fight guys with Healing Signet you have to switch out a skill for distracting shot, start touching with a bow equipped, as soon as the boss uses HS, DISTRACT!!!
Good Luck...
