bash distance

Karmen

I killed this sheep from this distance with simple bash



I mean, It feels like I'm 5 meters away!

In PvP, I met someone in Cyrodiil who had a bash build. I felt like I couldn't do anything. Even running was useless since his bash build has such a huge range.

Is there nothing to say about that?

All melee attacks are 7m including Bash attack.

Also, you have a small character which makes you seem farther away. It looks different with the tallest Nord/Orc/etc.

Spend some time with a practice dummy and test the limites. Most players are actually very surprised at how far back they can stand and still land melee attacks and bash.

[edit] If only they'd modify Gap Closers to compensate for the change to melee range. It's annoying when Critical Charge/Rush/Stampede pulls you out of the stack because it pulls you up face to face.

Funny thing is that sometimes bash just don't work in any distance when you need to interrupt enemy.

Yeah, I kind of knew about this but it is funny how far your reach is, especially when you have short weapons. Just test it by putting the camera overhead. Dual wielding short swords for example:




It´s a hit!

Distance measurement is very odd in this game. When I picture 7m irl that seems like quite a long way for a melee attack to be landing while standing flat footed. I do recognize that for playability the range does make sense though. However, I do notice that the range of some skills varies wildly depending on if you are moving towards or away from your target. If I'm chasing someone, I have trouble hitting them unless I am nearly phased into their character. If I am being chased I get hit from players that seem too far away for the hits to be landing.
The other day I was being hit by blood for blood (7m) from a warden while outside of their northern storm(10m) radius. They were moving towards me while I was moving away.
