CA's natually have a longer attack distance than your auto attack. If Reach increases both then you still be able to hit with CA's from further away, yet have to get a little closer for auto attack.

<P>Example:</P> <P>Most CAs have a range of 5 and most melee has a range of erm 3.5 (?) subtract these and you get a difference of 1.5.  Double both numbers and your also doubling the distance between them EI 1.5 -> 3.0</P> <P>[edit] so in short... its more noticable with reach</P><p>Message Edited by Mion da Peon on <span class=date_text>12-19-2006</span> <span class=time_text>08:02 AM</span>

Our blue AoEs don't seem to be affected by the Reach line final ability which might be just as well because it would have a huge range. Auto attack range also seems to be a lot shorter than CAs and the way the math is done, the original range is doubled before they add 5 meters to it. I think the Auto attack range is closer to 7-10 meters versus the CA's 15 meters. Our auto attack range with Reach is still greater than without but not enougth to avoid most aoes, I've tried. <div></div>

Also, it allows you to make arctic blast a regular CA that you don't have to back up to use.<BR></P>

I tried to compare the limit of autoattack with a SK friend and i just notice something like 1m.<div></div>

With reach that should translate to about 7. Compared to 15 for CAs. It annoys me that the auto attack range is so short.<div></div>
