2 range is pretty tiny. Conc. effect cleave would be 14 and it is barely distinguishable from normal melee range with a 1H.

Keep in mind with cyclone that you would get +2 all around you, so sort of like +4 total.

This is how I think range works now, but I could be totally wrong:

The space your own character takes up, like what you would bump into is range 1-4.

1-handers can have a (max) range of 4-6. I have no clue which is which, but will maybe do some testing. stuff like claws is probably 4 and rapiers 6.

2-handers have max ranges of 6-8. Again, I think this depends on item type, but not sure.

I swear I saw something from a GGG employee recently or in the past about 4-6 for 1 handed, 6-8 for 2 handed.

It increases the melee weapon range.

Cleave, sweep, ground slam, etc do not use the weapon range - they have their own AoE radius that they use, which is notable bigger. So they are not affected.

Anything which is making an actual weapon swing like the default attack will be using the weapon's range, and thus benefit. Cyclone uses the weapon's range to determine AoE radius.

Yes, I saw that but it contradicts another dev post I have seen before about 4-6 and 6-8. Maybe it changed?

The melee weapon range passive adds 2 to the range of melee weapons (one handed weapons go form 4 to 6, two handed from 5 to 7).

Maybe you should try reading that I saw that and said it is in contradiction with something else I read.

Maybe I misunderstood whatever that was though or have a bad memory, whatever I don't care.
