this should be changed, if casters can hit the same target, ranged characters should be able too as well, from my point of view thats a massive disadvantage to rangers and a seriously overpowered buff for casters yet again..

That's not technically true. Ranged attacks (like bow or wand attacks) are processed in the same way as melee attacks. This means that when you shoot an arrow whether or not you hit is solely dependent on the accuracy/evasion calculation (like every other standard attack) and not whether the attack was physically dodged (like a fireball). If arrows were treated just like a spell projectile they'd be fairly easy to dodge and you'd be here on the forum complaining about how ranged isn't as good as melee. Imagine having to lead moving enemies every time you wanted to shoot your bow.


I'm not quite sure I follow, AFAIK physical attacks needs to first do a hitbox test ( same as spells ), after which accuracy/evasion is checked ( as opposed to spells, which simply bypasses and always hits no matter accuracy / evasion ). Otherwise I don't see how shift + attack would work. Add to this the fact that spells usually have a larger hitbox, making them easier to hit with than arrows for example.
Dear flashpoint,

how dare you talking about bows, multiple projectiles and double strike in one sentence - and even link a 1h mace!
That really threw me off.

You rascal!
You mischievous, wicked, two-faced, tricksy, most flabbergasting offender of common decency, law and order, might and magic!

Edit: I guess double strike did work out differently back then.

Not my fault, I didn't originally quote a mace from hardcore league October 4, 2011.
