Range

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

For area of effect of skills see - Area of Effect.

Range visualized with an image overlay.

Melee attacks have a relatively short range determined by adding weapon range to the radius of a character's hitbox (which is 2), though it can be greatly 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

Radius of skills that create an area of effect on the point of impact, like Molten Strike or single target skills supported by 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.
