Long Range Damage & How It Works.

I did some test regarding with this Long Range Damage Bonus coz some think Long Range works in 7m below.
I dont wanna explain in text/msge since vid will clearly show you the result.
(Shot Skill Passive Long Range Mastery is a different scenario coz its tag as specific to BOW/BG will do some test once its possible to have 100% Stability using BOW/BG as a main weapon)
Enjoy

Test Vid #1 Volg Xtal + Moeba Shot


Test Vid #2 Volg Xtal + Sonic Wave

 

Iirc, some skills are simply classified as long range by what the maximum distance they'll activate is.
This includes:
Sword Tempest
Pretty much all Shot skills
A wide majority of Magic Skills
Shield Cannon
Phantom Slash
Sonic Wave

Amongst possible others.

 

Yes. As long as the skill is usable 8m above.

 

Volg xtal will work only if your sonic wave is lvl10? but not for lvl 1?

 

Try playing with a Yelb Xtal and something that'll negate the attack%
Then use something that will give you neutral attack values.
Say a 10atk short sword -3% Atk and a 10atk Shortsword no attack buffs

 

as you can see on the second vid. i use sonic wave lvl1 coz its max range is 8m @lvl1. see there's a 2% increase on the sonic wave.
originally @short range it hits 133 when @long range it hits 135.

 

i might need someone who i can borrow there addgear with yelb xtal

 

I'd love to... But I can't get off my lazy ass. Just do something that negates the +values so we get the raw LR damages

 

that catpaws im using is already -50% attack. i wont be getting noticing and increase from long range if my attacks are down hitting 1 digit or 2 (actual damage)

 

I think we've learnt along the way that Xtals do work detecting the character distance from the mob while Passive skills don't.

 

Yes xtal does work as intended tho about the lr passive im not convice myself seeing your vid. It makes me think that the passive itself is broken or not properly working since on your vid it shows that the passive works long range & short range.
il find the answers soon enough once theres a bow/bg with 90-100% stability.

 

So Attacks and Skills from 8m+ is considered Long ranged?
And 8m- is considered Short ranged?
I'm still confused...

 

7m below is short range.
8m above is long range.

 

I see thanks, now it's all clear for me

 

This post seems like dejavu for me. Hmmmm. ^_^

 

Now my 2h can finally move on from bbgob to yelb lol.. btw, I know someone who's using yelb since the very first time it came out and he told me the penalty was not working for tempest but didn't want to to bring it up coz it might be adjusted lol He just didn't realize he was casting it at short range
