Bow range is really slight when you first start, but I am told there is a skill that increases it.

So my question is:

Is Bow range much greater than nuke range?

And can someone approximate how far bow range becomes with skills? 2x starting range? 3x?

Bow range is greater than nuke range for quite some time.

Dont know the exact numbers.

It's about 2.4 feet farther (0.73 meters). Yeah, I measured it myself using a ruler and string. I swear I'm not lying.

Thank you. Does nuke range ever catch up with Bow range? Or do archers always have that advantage?

Thank you for measuring=p =p =p

But I was wanting to know if it becomes ABOUT twice as far as starting range or if it was just a touch more or what. Finding high level archers is kind of hard on my server

Dude, it doesn't really matter if its twice or 2.5 times. Most of the time the server is so laggy that by the time you shoot, your enemy is gliding towards you with his massive glavie. By the time you let off your arrow, the glavie has already smashed into your head. And since there was lag, he managed to glide away backwards in a sort of moonwalk. You lie dead wondering..."was that twice as far as a nuke"?

Just because you lag often that doesn't mean everybody else does =.="

For example.. I only lag in towns on peaks, no matter on what server I play (yes I have played on multiple ones)

Thank you, nice link.

But the guides I read generally do not put too many points in range increasing skills. I am not sure why, as it would seem to be very important to an archer :O

So are there any high level Archers that can say if range increases?

The one skill that mentions range seems to apply to ONLY that single skill. Can anyone confirm if it affects all bow attacks?

So again, is archer range always the same or does it improve?

Quoted for Truth Lag sux worse for archer I learned this the hard way

That skill affects all skills/attacks in which you shoot an arrow, even without an imbue and skill.

Bow Range: 18.0m
Demon Soul Arrow Range: +2.0m at first level.
Dragon Soul Arrow Range: +4.4m at last level.

Bow + Dragon Soul Arrow Range: 22.4m

Thank you.

So with the skill active you get about 13 more feet in range... That sounds like a very lackluster skill.

Nukers then probably have a fixed 18m range? Are Nukers ranged characters after level 30? Or do they melee a lot?
