The range of a skill or effect is the maximum distance it can influence anything from its point of origin.

Melee attacks have a relatively short range, depending on weapon used, which can be extended by utilizing certain passives and items. Maximum travel distance for projectiles is 120 units, although many projectiles in the game dissipate before reaching it, which limits their effective range.

Range of melee attacks can be improved by taking Master of the Arena notable or socketing the Warlord's ReachWarlord's Reach

Dual Wielding

When dual-wielding weapons with different range, all attacks will use the lower value except for Module Error: Too many skills found with q_where = skill.active_skill_name="Cyclone". Please choose only one of the following ids:
SabreSpiderDaemonCyclone - N/A (page)
SabreSpiderDaemonCycloneRuin - N/A (page), which will use the higher one.

Attack Range and Area of Effect Radius

Attack skills that create an AoE anchored on your character, like Module Error: Too many skills found with q_where = skill.active_skill_name="Cleave". Please choose only one of the following ids:
BreachBossCleavePhysical - N/A (page)
ArakaaliCleave - N/A (page), Module Error: Too many skills found with q_where = skill.active_skill_name="Sweep". Please choose only one of the following ids:
ExileSweep - (50-100)% chance to Knock Enemies Back on hit, (15-40)% increased Attack Speed, (12-24)% increased Physical Damage (page)
WbLightningEliteSweep - 50% of Physical Damage Converted to Lightning Damage, 100% chance to Knock Enemies Back on hit, 40% increased Attack Speed, 24% increased Physical Damage (page) or Module Error: Too many skills found with q_where = skill.active_skill_name="Ground Slam". Please choose only one of the following ids:
AxisBossGroundSlam - N/A (page)
DropBearSummonedGroundSlam - N/A (page) are completely unaffected by attack range, except for a few skills specifically basing their AoE radius on weapon range, namely Module Error: Too many skills found with q_where = skill.active_skill_name="Cyclone". Please choose only one of the following ids:
SabreSpiderDaemonCyclone - N/A (page)
SabreSpiderDaemonCycloneRuin - N/A (page) and Vengeance. Radius of skills that create an area of effect on the point of impact, like Molten Strike or single target skills supported by Module Error: No skills found with q_where = skill.active_skill_name="Melee Splash" is also unaffected by attack range, however it does allow you to attack from a greater distance, pushing the AoE further from you, potentially affecting more enemies.

- Azmerian Creation Myth swords with three white sockets each would result in final value of 23, which would also be the default radius of Module Error: Too many skills found with q_where = skill.active_skill_name="Cyclone". Please choose only one of the following ids:
SabreSpiderDaemonCyclone - N/A (page)
SabreSpiderDaemonCycloneRuin - N/A (page) used on that setup. The maximum possible range would be obtained by using Frost Blades skill which adds another 14 units resulting in total range of 37.
