I am finding that terrain plays a part since for True Shot you kneel down and if there is a slight rise in the terrain the shot simply doesn’t hit the target. No message saying obstructed etc just seems to disappear into the dirt.

the auto attack has a curve, therefore can travel further.
true shot animation kneels you down and the shot is flat, therefore can ONLY travel 1200.

I am not entirely sure that I’m correct here, but I think what’s actually happening is that longbow’s auto attack can actually travel further than the 1200 range. Once the arrow reaches 1200 range, it does not simply vanish, but continues to travel a bit further. As such, you could likely hit someone at 1300-1400 range, especially if you’re shooting down at them. Ranger longbow works in much the same way. With auto attack you used to be able to hit targets at 1900 range if you had a slight elevation over them. Not sure if this is still true.
Trueshot on the other hand appears to travel to exactly 1200 range and vanish. It seems to act more like a laser beam than a projectile in this sense.This is how I interpret it anyways.
This is correct. certain things fire like a normal arrow would, and thus have an arc that increases its range ever so slightly, and can cause a hit at longer distances. however, skills that travel straight horizontal such as LB #2/3 and other skills like certain warrior LB skills do the same thing, they vanish at a solid 1200 range instead of having that arc.
