Razz does have alot of luck involved but skill is needed as well. Lets say you have a hand but the cards showing look like you couldn't have that great of one, skill would be needed to maximize winnings. Skill is needed to figure out what the other players might have for a high hand. Razz, Stud, draw, Omaha, Badugi are all games of chance, playing the odds more than NL, but they all require some form of skill as well.
Don't kid yourselves: all poker games have a component of luck and component of skill. The only thing that's really debatable is how much luck and how much skill is present in each game. One measure of luck is the variance that is experienced when playing in that game. In other words, the more hands you have to play before the money you actually have won reflects how much you expected to win based on your play, the more luck there is in that game. By this definition, razz has less luck than just about any other form of poker.
