Poison Volley

How did you check it? Ranges always seem to randomly oscillate +/- 10 units even with skills of the same range.--Relyk ~ talk < 03:23, 2 July 2013 (UTC)

Using the testing golems in the Heart of the Mists, I walked to the very edge of shortbow range (900) by walking backward until my skills showed they were out of range and then I walked forward as slowly as I could until they were within range. I tested shortbow 1 through 5, and 2 was the only one that did not hit. I tested it five times without moving, and none hit. Then I walked forward in the smallest unit that I could by using the walk key and barely pressing forward. Then I tested it again. As far as I could tell, it was about 20 units by the time that a Poison Volley hit. In reality, it was probably closer to 15, maybe even as low as 13, though. Do you want me to remove the note because the difference really isn't very large? Perhaps I just got unlucky with the ranges. Ryft Mith (talk) 05:59, 2 July 2013 (UTC)

So I just tried this again, and I got different results. It seems that when the golem is facing directly toward me, Poison Volley will sometimes miss at 900 range, but will hit at 900 range if the golem is facing away from me. Or that could simply be the ±10 units randomness you're talking about. In any case, I'll remove the note I put on Poison Volley. Sorry about that. I'll try to do more work to confirm my work in the future. Ryft Mith (talk) 22:19, 2 July 2013 (UTC)
