Thread: 7m Attack distance
Well just tested some stuff and here are my findings :
1) I could indeed hit a lair from about 8 meters, but more like 7, the distance meter isn't always accurate.
2) When hitting a mob I could do so when the distance from the mob was 5 meters, but I had to move in a little bit. Seems like the true range is around 4.5 meters from careful testing. Hard to know for sure as I am concerned about the accuracy of the distance gauge.
3) 1HLunge1 can hit anything from about 14m away.
Didn't know about the lunge thing and I guess that's the only really useful piece of info. Hitting lairs from further away isn't too groundbreaking, neither is the 4.5 meter thing. But thought I'd follow up as I didn't know lunge had this capability. Looks like I will be going for master brawler after all for 1hLunge2 
A bit offtopic, bit I got this from another post a couple days ago.
All of us meleers must have really long arms or something...as if we can hit things from 4m out...that's13 feet away!
Just call us Mr. Fantastic....
That's what i thought too! If you consider your back foot to always stay at the range specified and your front foot extends for the attack, then you get close to 4m, but the inconsistancy with the 'butterknife' is extremely puzzling lol!
I just tried a group hunt on a large mob with some non fencer friends and just lunged the whole time. They took the damage and I didn't! Didn't do too much damage as lunge is really a status attack, but if the mob is dizzy, you can do posture change from this distance and then move in! Works well with traps btw if you got scout skills.
it depends on the mob npcs then its on the max stats u c wen u examine
say tortons i can attack them from 8m a fammba i was attacking from 10m with a gaffi though
