Hey,

Reading the tool tips for the three sword auto attack moves, I see the first (slash) has a range of 130(?) and the other two kick and pounce have ranges around 400. Can someone please explain to me how those three range numbers actually play in the mechanics because as far as I can tell each attack has the same range (i.e. in order to activate the AA you have to be right next to your target and all three attacks then play out.) Thanks.

p.s. Does anybody else think the sword auto attack animation for the Norn is kind of weird. I find it so off putting that is actually makes to want to switch to a different weapon set. (maybe it’s just me)

The second and third attacks in the chain are leap attacks. You’ll actually jump forward up to that distance towards your target. That’s the reason for the longer range.
