I recently mademyself a level 10Cu Pa from the typical VD, VD, NS, NS, NS recipe with 5.5/3.5/1.5 HAM 14% KR Cripple/Poison specials, NO ranged attack.

The other day for fun Iused it to attack a hostile NPC that was hanging around one of my harvestors. I pulled the pet about 50m from the target and when I gave the Cu Pa the attack command it did start attacking but was behaving as though it was using a ranged attack. It would make the small movement like a Cu Pa does when performing a ranged attack, take a step or two, perform the smal movement, take a step or two and repeated this for 30m or so (about 10 times) before it ran in and started to attack melee style. While using what appeared to be a ranged attack it did no damage and just seemed to slowly creep up to the target 2 steps at a time, nodding its head along the way.

Like I mentioned above when the pet was craftedranged attack = no so there appears to be a bug someplace. My concern is 1) this is a bug 2) im making Cu Pa for people w/o ranged attack and they are functioning improperlyduring combat.

The other thing I noticed is a gurreck I also have with ranged attack = yes, does not perform a ranged attack and just immediatly attacks melee style. This makes sense as the gurreck skin does not have ranged attack but thought I would mention that as well.

Not even a nibble on this. It seems to be a significant bug/issue. Should I open a CSR ticket, post in another forum? But ranged skins using ranged style attacks (albeit no damage)with ranged attack = no seems to be a bug to me.

Nice spot on that, I've seen a few complaints about this happening, the one I remember was also a CL10 Cu Pa so probably no range as well, guess the creature AI is trying to use range when one doesn't exist.

Since I'm not getting any driection from or acknowledgment of this issue on the BE forum Ive posted to Core Systems.
