Ranged effect from Melee weapon

[Constentin Lévine]

As you probably know, the Flame Keeper burn AoE is treated as Ranged, and benefit from the Ring of the Marksman and Alcina's Tricorn. And, if someone can agree, that can bounce with Ranger' Driving Flight.

That is not restricted to the Keeper of the Flame : EVERY weapon with a similar effect is also tagged as Ranged. I think they are implemented in this manner to prevent multiple Carnage, Swift Flurry or Mob Stance. But they shoulnt tink about Driving flight. (for this, again, I need to someone confirmation).

Weapons concerned are :

• Magran's Favor (Burning Burst)
• Oathbreaker's End (Found Guilty)
• Slayer's Claw (Aspect of the Stelgaer)
• Amra (!) (Gore)
• Marux Amanth (Corona of the Soul)
• Eager Blade (Bounding Strike)
• Engoliero Do Espirs (Cruel blade)
• Keeper of the Flame (Magran's Wrath)
• Sungrazer (!) (extinction Event and Meteoric)
• Karaboru (Bloody Slash)
• Acolyte's Frostbite (Solitary Fate and Vangeful Cold and Freezing Gust)
• Frostball (Dispersed Suffering and Shattering Head)
• Lord Darryn's Voulge (Static Charge and Thunder)
• Chromoprismatic Quaterstaff (Soul Storm)
• Seeker's Fang (Spider's Flurry)
• Grave Calling (Chilling Grave)
• Hell Beckoning (Noxious Hel)

Note : Im not sure at all for the Driving Flight bounce, but that seems trigger on my tests.

Nice find. If driving flight works indeed, that could be huge! Don’t know and can’t test right now. 
 

Something like Engoliero should work even better with Helm of the White Void because ghost blade does…

The procs are considered ranged because they're basically spells attached to weapons. However spells aren't affected by Driving Flight.

Thanks for the clarification Kaylon!

i actually did not know this

[Constentin Lévine]

They arent totally spells attached to weapon since they are not affected by (for exemple) the +20% damage from Captain's Banquet. But I understand that they have their own "rules".

Also work with "Harley" (the dog).

True. But they scale with weapon quality with respect to damage, accuracy and PEN. Perhaps we could call them "weapon spell-like effects," which is why it is worth upgrading to mythic when you use one of them extensively.

Also they scale with other weapon damage modifiers, such as rogue sneak attacks & deathblows.
