Game Mechanics: Bash/Slam Range too long?

Hey everybody, I noticed this a few times in Blackburrow this morning but wanted to find a good picture to demonstrate the issue. If you look at the chat log in the image you'll see that I engaged a gnoll, got pierced by his spear, rooted him, stepped away so I could cast on him from a distance, and then he got 5/6 slams on me from long range before root broke and we started to trade blows normally. I didn't run a search on this prior to posting, so sorry if it's a redundant issue, but it seemed like something worth mentioning. Thanks-

Did he have a bow? Is he a ranger?

Can gnolls even be rangers?

Yes, Gnolls in blackburrow do shoot arrows. You will commonly loot arrows from them.

You can tell that it's not a bash becaue it says HITS, not BASHES (unless that's a classic thing that's different from blue)

You can also kinda tell because its a constant 2 damage


Not a bug.

Tangentially, mobs shouldn't use up their ammo when they shoot. Consuming ammo was a player thing (until rangers got endless quiver)...

Maybe on live all gnolls were delevelled 60 max aa rangers lol.

I am not saying they consume arrows. I think it's more of a flavor thing, or a hint to the players. I actually also thought BB was buggy on blue a couple of weeks ago when i kept getting randomly hit , just like OP, until I looted an arrow and my 20 year old memories flew back to me. (I believe there are also sound effects when you are getting hit with arrows)

In 20 years I've never noticed that Gnolls fire arrows. What a fool! Thanks guys

Move to resolved, OP shot with archery.
