    Caltrops is a melee attack, caltrops damage you RIGHT UNDER YOUR FEET.

    Also ZOS definition of Melee is everything that has RANGE LESS THAN 8meters.


    There is a bug though, ccaltrops dont stack over each other so only 1 player does damage. They should fix that.

    Are you serious, bow attacks proc ravagers as well?

    Maybe we can make a list in this thread of all the ranged attacks that count as 'melee'.

    Bow attacks dont Proc Ravager

    By your definition of melee, a bow attack should count as melee because the arrow is less than 8m away when it strikes you.

    Do you see how asinine that line of reasoning becomes? Anything could be a melee attack by that definition.

    The origin point of the damage is right under your feet. That's melee range to me.

    Full Definition of MELEE

    : a confused struggle; especially : a hand-to-hand fight among several people

    Now that's the official definition just so I can poke the thread some more. Standing on spikes would make for a pretty confused struggle...

    I know what you mean, and the issue you have, but I do not have an issue with how the ability works.

    Pass the popcorn @Gorthax?
    This one has an eloquent and well thought out response to tha... Ooh sweetroll!

    I would be totally fine if the bow attack procs ravager if you are in melee range. Havent tested it so I cant say if it works or not.

    •Caltrops: This ability is no longer considered a melee attack, and it will not trigger the Redguard passive ability Adrenaline Rush. Caltrops now sorts targets based on the center of the attack, rather than the distance from the caster.
