Thread: YOUR TARGET IS OUT OF RANGE???
For awhile it was actually kinda broke on the pve end.. Creatures with ranged attack would stand still and not attack until you we went melee on them.. (Savage Quenkers). That didn't really make sense that a ranged attacker would just stand there and take it or wait til you were within melee range to attack and even then not use their full attacks.
In previous notes the devs stated that they would change it so that the mobs would use the ranged attacks and actually try to preserve themselves and run away. But they also said that they wouldn't kite us forever.. I have been kited but it only irritates me when I have multiple targets.
For the most part stay within range by running with the mob; you can still hit while moving. If they don't stop then do lunge1 and try a posture change and then go for a knock down. If they run faster than you then you may have to burst run. If they will not stop kiting you may have to resort to another profession or let it go.
Thanks to Vasarian Brandy I am now the town drunk and ONLY go to the AA meetings to brag about the killing spree done during my drunken rage.

Once I tried to solo a dune kimogilla but as soon asI hit the attack button and started attacking the kimo would just back up out of my range meanwhile hitting me with disease and poison and all kinds of crap. Every time I moved foreward to get in range it would move out of range, but I was standing close to it. Why does it do this? I noticed other creatures do this as well. Is it because the range on my VK is low? Thanks.
I killed one last week. The blasted critter dragged me all over the desert. I just kept on him and finally he died. It was frustrating while I was doing it, but oh so very satisfying whenI was done.
I want to ask if taunt would have helped. I never even realized this was an actual skill until recently. Does it only work to take the aggro off someone else or would it also work tokeep a kiting critternear me. I need to go try this skill out.
Thanks,

Hmm... I only get this with autoattacks these days, not when using specials - which I uaually do - since all specials, VK or not, have a range of 10 meters, lunge 20 meters, and autoattack 5 meters (unarmed) and I think 3 meters (VK).
Ah, back when we had 5 meters range for specials, not 10 meter, those were "out of range spam" days.
one way i've found of countering this (although at an accuracy penalty because you're moving a lot) is to Auto-Follow the creature while you're fighting. this works well for creatures you know are going to run away near death too.

)It's been my experience that when fighting a Kimogila (if I'm solo) I stay in one place and continue spamming uh3. I have found that unless I'm on a hill or incline, the Kimo comes in and out of my range approx every 3 seconds. Unfortunately the combat que clears itself during that 3 second interval that they are out of range so you have to continue filling it. I have found that when my distance to target reads 17m, I can continue to hit the targetand they don't back up onyou.Taunt works wonders when they get low hamenough to run.

this happened to me but i found if i stand in one spot the dun kimo will stop walking and turn around and you should be able to hit him......
