Melee: Trust the Hitbox, Not the Sprite

Core findings from CBT2 community testing: Melee attack detection range is determined by the action hitbox; overhead swing, thrust, and crouch attacks each have different hitboxes; Communitymeasured pixel values: Overhead swing base max 133px (FA full sweep 144px), Scimitartype 127px, onehanded swor

Bowman 1st job passive The Eye of Amazon (level 15): One of the most underrated passives in the game: max +120 range lets Bowmen initiate from outside most aggressive mobs' aggro range; Bows and crossbows share this passive bonus, applicable to both lines; Ranged projectile (arrow flight) is unified

Throwing: Thief's Hidden Long Arm

Teleport there; Thunder Bolt covers surrounding area centered on self — positioning IS ran
