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

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

Mechanics

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 15 metres[1] for each instance of movement [2], although many projectiles in the game dissipate before reaching it, which limits their effective range. Effects such as fork, chain, or split, would count as new instances of movement, allowing projectiles to travel further than 15 total metres.

Range of melee attacks can be improved with various passive skills and items. Range bonuses provided by passive tree, jewels and non-weapon equipment are global, meaning they will apply to both weapons if dual-wielding. However, range bonuses on weapons, including corrupted implicits, crafted bonuses or ones on uniques like WideswingWideswing
