About the range change. (in General)

If I'm doing this new tread is because the first one is block for new post. Well, my opinion is that the range range is really too strong. For example, I've got about 5k on 2 minion an 15k on the last minion and a guy with a 16k pr as about 4,5k strengh and 8k dex, deals me around 4k and 2k on the other minion damage with explosive shot. And in melee, he only hit me of 1,5k 2k damage. If range minion are the first one to attack, how come they do the strongest damage of all minion strategy? You should not be able to kill all a team with range attacks, range is supposed to be there for weaken the enemy teams by making fair damage or draining dex or str. Well that is all I've had to say for now.

"range is supposed to be there for weaken the enemy teams by making fair damage or draining dex"

who said that?

Evasion is a very powerful defense against ranged physical attacks, there, in theory, is the balance.

well I can't always train evasion on all my minion and if I don't, I die. Well I don't see any balance here. And for the citation, it is how it should be cause for now, I find it really not balanced.

Unfortunately for most of us there is somebody whose strategy can beat ours. If you're patient you can beat them. Work out why he's able to beat you - I'd say in this case it's not the amount of damage he's dealing you, it's the amount of HP you have to soak up that damage that is the problem.

And as RD says you could train evasion. You could get yourself more ranged damage and kill them before they kill you. You could train Guardian Angel and return the damage they inflict on you.

There are any number of ways to take them on. And alternatively you could ignore it and search out the opponents you can beat.

In my case, I can barely notice the difference between a battle with my ranged weapon equipped and a battle without it, so I don't consider ranged to be overpowered at all...

i actually consider ranged to be a bit underpowered. i rely heavily on my ranged attacks to soften up the enemy before i pound their face with my ELS. I trained archery because with out it, i might as well sell my ELB. If you buy some DBs and get a AoI then you wont have to worry about training evasion...they come with anti-ranged tech built in.
