    thing was, ranged attacks were mostly elemental, and shell used to own magic attacks, so it was a bit safer, also ranged attacks used to be really slow, and you have no danger of weaponskills, ,which are usually monsters big damage skills. So yeah its and advantage.

    I think the new issue will be dragging mobs to the edge of their territory and picking them off from there as when they come near to you they will wander off back to camp if they don't have ranged attack

    This was a bad problem before they addressed the leashing issue in Nov.

    Now, I'm not saying no enemies should have ranged, just that its not necessary to have ALL of them.

    Simple fix to that would be to have the mob disengage immediately after it begins to return to territory, not be re-engage-able until it completely returns to where you engaged it at, and have its HP instantly recovered when it gets there.

    the other thing is we run as fast as monsters do, so without ranged we can always escape fights. I do think that having everyone with ranged attacks was for a definite reason, and removing it will require a lot of new solutions/changes.

    Thats what I thought of immediately. It takes aggro'd mobs longer to engage you than it did in FFXI. You'd be able to run right through every aggroable mob with no danger... There'd be no point to it.

    I don't care if they remove it from standard mobs as it can get a bit annoying. However they could still ensure every NM still has a ranged attack to discourage any long drawn out bind/kite solos.

    Peregrine is pretty bitter about a lot of stuff till SE themselves say something even if others say the exact same thing, like the whole "event taking developers time from important matters" he was adamant that it was and would attack anyone who says otherwise then SE says the exact same thing that quite a few people said (that it doesn't) and his personality takes a complete 180.

    So there's nothing wrong with fighting enemies at a range, but peregrine is one of those "hardcore" players and will see anything as trying to take the easy way out.
