Touch skill

From Guild Wars Wiki

Jump to: navigation, search

Touch skills are skills that require the user to be adjacent to target to be activated.

Like with melee attacks, if the character is not in touch range when a touch skill is used, the character will try to move to the target to use the skill. But unlike attacks, touch skills can't be blocked.

To prevent being touched, players are advised to:

  • Move away. Since touches require to be adjacent to target, staying way from the enemy will prevent the touch.
  • Interruptions and skill disable. Some touches are also spells, so they will be affected by dazing and effects that affect spell activation time.
  • Use the Paragon skill "Can't Touch This!".
