I played an invoker to hero back shortly after the whole "Elemental paths" came in with touches and shields and whatnot.

I liked how I could parry with the elemental touches up. I even improved in parry with it up. I might be wrong, but I think it even mentioned in the helpfiles that you could parry with the touches.


I recently have played my second invoker to hero ranks (one of the billion or so invokers so far this year)...and I have noticed a severe lack of parrying with the touches.

I got my parry to upper 80's by using practice weapons but even with my parry that high, I parry with touches about as often as a rank 1 mage parries (once in a blue moon)...especially against mobs which I dodge more often than I parry (without the dodge skill).

Was this a conscious change? why did you decide to change it? Am I smoking purple crack?


"Death awaits ya all, wit nasteh big pointeh teeth!"

I rolled mine up in December and have noticed decent parrying ability with my touches up. I even get some improvements. Maybe something to do with your held items?

You did ask.
