(I tried searching the forums for similar posts, but couldn’t figure out search words that would get me answers so I’m making a new post.)
Description:
My characters’ auto-attacking works fine until the enemy reaches the edge of their range. Then the auto-attacking simply stops, even though the enemies are still within range. I tested this with almost every weapon and it’s always the same thing. Near the edge of the range the auto-attack stops, but I can still hit enemies with the skill if I activate it. Doesn’t matter if it’s a melee or ranged weapon.
Notes:
My guess is the auto-attack stops at around 80% of maximum range, but I haven’t really measured it.
I don’t know if it’s something on my end or a bug in the game, so I made this post to get a definitive answer.
Example (I have no idea if the ranges are even close to accurate): I use a sword with 300 range. Auto-attacking works up to 250 range. Between 250 and 300 I have to start mashing the button to hit the enemy.

Bump. Problem still exists, just like before. Hoping to get a solution for this.
Auto-attacking by mashing the “1” button is a bit frustrating.

It might also be a bug with the range finder.
I’ve only really paid attention to this on my thief. When trying to use Heartseeker from max range as indicated by the range indicator under the skill it will always fall slightly short of the target.

For me the problem is kinda the opposite, since the game doesn’t recognise the enemy is in range if I’m close to the maximum range. Problem becomes even more apparent when using a Longbow on my Ranger with increased range. I shoot with Long Range Shot, I hit the target for 220 damage. Auto-attack doesn’t activate. I walk closer, I shoot, I hit the target for 200 damage. Auto-attack is still sipping coffee. I walk a bit closer again and now when I shoot for 180 damage, Auto-attack starts shooting. If I walk backwards, the auto-attacking stops again.
Do note that the enemy actually was in range of my shots the whole time and every one of them hit.

The irony, the irony … rangers complain that they can shoot in 1700 range but their autoattack only works in 1500 range. Melee weapon reaches 330 while autoattack says it’s only reliable at 300.

I’d also like to fix this problem. Make all projectiles disappear at max range. Like Mesmer’s.
