Swashy Melee Range

[Luclore]

I have noticed for some time (both in pre-v17 and v17, just been too lazy to do anything about it) that if my swashy will switch to range fighting even though he is in melee range (range is checked as well as melee on the setting tab). This happens around the >10m range. He is aa specced for increased melee range.

Kannkor, can you take a look at this please and let me know if its something on my end or within the coding (and if the latter, can you fix please )?

Thanks,
Luc

Funny, I always thought I was just missing something. Ran some solo tests tonight and confirmed this. Without Ogre I can melee at long range on my Swashy no problem. With Ogre, I can only melee at 3-4m or closer, further than that and it forced me to ranged. I'm also interested in the 'fix' for this.

Thanks!

Check your setup page. I think the option is there to extend your melee range.

There is a "Spell Range Extender (Not Combat Arts)" there, but I didn't see anything for melee or CA when I looked prior to the above post.

I have a swash I can log in and see if I can find some way of making this work, when I get time.

That would be much appreciated.

This isnt a perfect fix, but I imagine if you uncheck the ranged option in setup for your Swash, he'll continue meleeing even if ogre recognizes him as being outside of melee range. Of course, then he won't use his ranged if he's truly outside melee range, but it may be worth it.

Forgot to update this post.

I added this a few weeks ago:
Tweaked how Swashes with 'Reach' AA work.
Reach extends the max range of melee and ranged attack, however, it does not extend the min range of ranged attack (this is a good thing).
When the bot is loaded, if you have 'Reach' AA, it will use the extended values.
Note: If you do not have Reach when the bot is loaded, then get the AA, you will need to reload the bot for the new values to take effect (you would probably reload the bot anyways so it reads the new abilities...).
