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.
- 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.
