Revision as of 20:07, 19 November 2008

http://www.theamazonbasin.com/main/forums/uploads/gallery/1221408567/gallery_3047_16_23450.png The sub-tiles that can be targeted at various ranges in mêlée combat. [1] Range is determined differently for players, hirelings and pets, and monsters.


Players

The range of players varies according to the rangeadder of the weapon equipped and the size of the monster being attacked. [2]


Range = rangeadder + Size


Players achieve maximum range by equipping rangeadder 4 polearms and spears, giving them range 5 when attacking Size 1 monsters, range 6 when attacking Size 2 monsters and range 7 when attacking Size 3 monsters.


Although the physical damage of Smite and Dragon Talon, Tail or Flight is based on shield and boot damage respectively, range is still based on the rangeadder of the weapon equipped.


When an Assassin or a Barbarian equips two weapons, range is based on the rangeadder of the primary weapon (the weapon equipped above the gloves in the inventory, or that first equipped). The primary weapon is displayed in the right hand of the Assassin or Barbarian. This is true for Dragon Claw and Double Swing and Frenzy, even though these are a sequence of two attacks (as are Normal Attack and Fists of Fire, Claws of Thunder and Blades of Ice when used with two weapons). While each weapon attacks and applies its damage and modifiers individually, the range applied to both attacks is still that of the primary weapon. [3]


http://www.theamazonbasin.com/main/forums/uploads/gallery/1221408567/gallery_3047_16_15261.png Both Burning Dead (Size 2) are out of range when a Dirk (rangeadder 0) with 100% Chance to Cast Frost Nova on Attack is primary and a Long Sword (rangeadder 1) with 100% Chance to Cast Nova on Attack is secondary. When the Long Sword is primary both attack the Burning Dead (which are chilled by the Frost Nova cast by the Dirk).


Hirelings and pets

The range of all hirelings and pets varies according to their entry in the MeleeRng column of MonStats2.txt and the size of the monster being attacked. [4]


Range = MeleeRng + Size


MeleeRng
0 1 2
  • Rogue Scout
  • Iron Wolf
  • Barbarian
  • Desert Mercenary
  • Valkyrie
  • Necroskeleton
  • Golems
  • Necromage
  • Shadows
  • Wolves
  • Grizzly


Equipping weapons has no effect on the mêlée range of hirelings and pets that can do so e.g. the range of a Desert Mercenary or Valkyrie equipping a War Pike (rangeadder 4) will still be based on MeleeRng 2 and 0 respectively.


Monsters

The range of monsters varies according to their own entries in both the MeleeRng and SizeX/Y columns of MonStats2.txt. [5]


Range = MeleeRng + Size


http://www.theamazonbasin.com/main/forums/uploads/gallery/1221408567/gallery_3047_16_17974.png


Players, hirelings and pets are all Size 2. Regardless of size, the target is always the central occupied sub-tile. [6]


When a monster is blinded by Hit Blinds Target, Dim Vision or Cloak of Shadows, its awareness range is reduced to its mêlée range; thus it's relevant even if they are ranged or casters with no mêlée attack.
