Sig for will

Another build in testing
The Lich Toucher uses the ranger's expertise similarly to Touch Rangers. The cost of the touch skills is so low that energy is never a problem, and Aura of the Lich reduces damage by half (as well as health sacrifice by 1/4).

Equipment

 * Armor
 * Max AL Radiant or Blessed armor of Attunement


 * Weapons
 * Max Adept Death Magic staff of Enchanting

Usage
Cast Aura of the Lich, Dark Aura, and Blood Renewal before battle. Use Touch of Agony and Wallow's Bite to do constant damage to a target. Use Whirling Defense to block melee attackers, and Zojun's Haste to catch kiting opponents. Blood Renewal and Aura of the Lich both provide self heal upon ending, and Blood Renewal also provides health regeneration, triggers Dark Aura upon casting, and acts as a cover enchantment.

Counters
Health degeneration, conditions, mass enchantment removal

Variants
Plague Touch or Throw Dirt can replace the Resurrection Signet.

Note: This build is to NOT be submitted into the wiki community until I have tested it personally, please do not steal this build from my sandbox and submit it as your own work. (in which case I will be very VERY angry)

Yet another build idea
The purpose of the Commander Ranger is to take advantage of being able to control two Tanks for the party. Flesh golem provides sufficient cannon fodder in most groups and is reusable. This build is best used in an area where parties are too small or where larger parties would be desired, as this will provide the party with 3 members instead of 1.

Equipment

 * Armor
 * Max AL Radiant or Beast Masters armor of Attunement or Vitae
 * Optional: A rune of vigor and condition shortening runes


 * Weapons
 * Ghial's Staff or equivalent.

Usage
Before battle use Call of Protection to help your pet tank until at least one corpse drops, if it takes damage use Predator's Pounce or Comfort Animal to help heal it. Once a creature dies raise a Flesh Golem to help the pet tank. If the flesh golem takes severe damage either raise a new one, or use Verata's Sacrifice. Do not be worried about the long recharge time because with only one minion it will recharge instantly. If the pet dies use Comfort animal to bring it back, if the flesh golem dies it can be brought back from it's own corpse. If taking serious damage and there is a corpse in the area, use Soul Feast to self heal.

Counters
Enemies that focus only on the Master, and enemies with faster corpse expoitation skills than the player.

Variants

 * Use Taste of Death in place of Soul Feast, you can revive the flesh golem immediately.
 * Use Revive Animal instead of Comfort Animal if there will be more than one ranger in the group as it revives all pets. It can also be substituted due to the higher health the pet will have upon revival.
 * Use Blood of the Master in place of Verata's Sacrifice if the flesh golem will be getting many conditions put onto it, or if there will be little condition removal in the party.
 * In areas where resurrecting is not viable (most PvP scenarios) the Resurrection Signet can be replaced by any pet attack skill that will compliment the group.
