Hero Usage

Heroes will not use this skill on their own unless an enemy in combat activates a touch skill. They will not proactively use it to prevent touch skills, nor as a basic shout to trigger Echoes.

Notes

• This is the only skill that prevents touch skills; however, it does not work against Touch of Dhuum nor Smash of the Titans.
• This skill will not prevent friendly touch skills and does not count them toward ending the shout's effect.

Anomaly.Unlike most shouts, "Can't Touch This!" ends if it's reapplied before it expires, triggering the effects of echoes.

Bug."Can't Touch This!" is applied to party members only.

Trivia

• The name of this skill is a reference to the MC Hammer song "U Can't Touch This".
• The skill icon portrays two necromancers wearing Vabbian armor.
