Attack range.

[Rokien]

Are they going to make it more like this picture? Or are they going to keep it where, lancer can attack as far as an archer? Just wondering if they said anything on this. In this picture, as a lancer, it says I shouldn't get hit by anything but I should still should be able to hit them. Not including range attacks.

are you seriously trying to claim lancer can fight mobs from a distance as far as an archer can?

[DeadRiser]

I think this really depends on what mob you are fighting....

[Rokien]

Pretty much, and a crab, just like this pic.

[DeadRiser]

Well a crabs attack is single target. If the tank has the hate like he should, no you shouldn't be getting hit ever. Unless you are fighting Ifrit who's main attack is AoE scratch, etc.

Well, I am an archer and range has less influence than I thought it would. I can stand next to my target without much change in effectiveness in combat (damage/accuracy). Is it just me or does range really has little effect?

Sorry to mention a different game other than FFXIV but, just take a look at this and watch where you are matters, and if you are just a few inches past the weapon, it wont hit. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kNI-l...eature=related please don't talk to much about this game, try and keep it ffxiv. I just wanted to show an example.

That is basically an action MMO (vindictus type combat).

That is a totally different type of MMO than what we have now. Yes in the future Yoshi said he wants strict battle placements to effect the outcome of battles. That's why he is introducing personal combos and then rereleasing the battle regimens later on.

By the looks of that battle, the lancer thingy looks almost invincible.. but you are also talking about a one on one fight.

It would be neat if there were an optimal range for critical hits. It would require some "critical" thinking dealing with foot placement in a fight.
