Ranger Great Sword Skill number 3; Swoop leap distance is 900 instead of the listed 1,100.
Swoop will only cover listed 1,100 range with a target selected.
With out a target selected range is 900.
Tested in the mists on flat ground vs a Target Golem by DPS trails waypoint.
No swiftness or runes that add movement speed. Swoops were done while out of combat.
Swoop distance was tested against the 900 range of mainhand axe. Swooped at the point where main hand axe #1 gets a red bar indicating out of range. Swoop will cover exactly 900 units and put ranger on top of target golem.
Swoop distance was also judged with longbow with default 1,200 range.
When swooping at max (1,200 units) longbow range: Swoop distance plus one dodge roll (which is 300 units) will put ranger exactly on top of target golem.
Swoop distance tested vs the range indicator of swoop itself (1,100 range). With target golem targeted it will cover 1,100 units and damage golem. With no target selected swoop will fall short and thus do no damage to target golem.
This bug affects ranger roaming and survivability as without a target swoop will only cover 900 units instead of the listed 1,100.
