Game Mechanics: Bard Song Range, Melee Range Bugs

[GnomeCaptain]

On Teal I play a Bard, and sometimes I like to kite things around and kill them with dots.

But there is a major issue which makes this difficult and dangerous: my Bard gets hit by melee even though he is very far from the mobs.

And to make matters worse, the dot song (level 1) often doesn't connect even though I am close enough to get hit by melee.

So there are two problems
1) the Bard dot isn't connecting consistently, for a given range sometimes it hits, sometimes it doesn't;

2) mobs are able to inflict melee damage on my bard even though he is very far away from the mobs, so far away that the dot song doesn't connect.


Thanks
