So, how far can the longbow shoot?

A thief rifle reaching further than it maximum targeting range makes more sense than an arrow doing it.

What would make the most sense both for lore and balance, is having two ranges: The maximum range at which you can target, and the minimum range the projectiles can reach.

Then making specially powerful ranged attacks 'easily interruptable in melee'. So getting hit with melee range attacks while trying to use them would interrupt them, or have a chance to interrupt them.

But either way damage should decrease with distance, not increase like freaking Long Range Shot.

Damage increase with speed which equals to distance covered..somebody must have skipped his physics class, also we're talking about a middle ages rifle...no a modern sniper rifle and during middle ages, an arcing arrow would have of course covered more distance than a flintlock limited to 75 yards compared to 200 yards of longbow

Lol the class of weapon is called RIFLE. Not Musket. And uhhh...I never took a physics class, but I'm pretty sure damage increasing with distance is incorrect. Distance slows the projectile which decreases the potential damage a whole bunch, right?

But sure, lets entertain your idea about Longbow Vs. Muskets.English Longbow - ~180 FPS, "Effective" Range - 600Ft (takes a while to get there, doesn't it?)Flintlock Musket - ~1000 FPS, Effective Range - 225-300Ft (Doesn't take nearly as long to get there, right?)

And here's one of the earliest rifles:Springfield 1861 - 1000-1300 FPS, Effective Range 300-1200Ft (Gets there really fast and maintains similar range, but more often much higher)

So if you want to bring that logic to this discussion, would you care to comment on the FPS vs Range of these items?

This was raised as yet another indication that the long bow is 'broken'.

I mean you know... cuz it's called a RANGEr.

That's not what ranger means. Surprised at how many people get this wrong.

By literal definition no. But in MMO definition, yes. Because most MMOs out there treat Rangers with Range weapons. It's called a class archtype, classic trope.

Shooting range is totally fine. No need for nerf.

Players need 2 l2 dodge n block n reflect n los n gap close...
