Skill type. Ranged attacks are attacks performed with ranged weapons - bows, spears, staves and wands. Ranged attacks can refer to either an auto attack made with a ranged weapon or a specific type of skill performed with ranged weapons.

• A ranged attack is performed whenever a projectile is fired, thrown or discharged from a character's ranged weapon.
• The range of these attacks depends on the weapon used.
  • Bows and spears are affected by height.
  • Staves and Wands, are not affected by height.

• As a skill type, ranged attacks can be performed with any type of ranged weapon.
  • Most ranged attack skills have the same damage type and range as the weapon used to perform them, with a few exceptions like half range attacks.

• Attacking spirits from Binding rituals use ranged attack skills with the same range as longbows and flatbows, and are affected by height.
• Bone Fiends use ranged attacks with half the range of a longbow or flatbow, and are also affected by height.

Bug.Even with a clear line of sight, all spirit (e.g. Anguish), bow, and spear attack skills have a chance of not activating when standing on a bridge or stairway and on some inclines or overpasses
