Is this intended or not? It's weird that ranger's wound shots cannot be used in melee, but barbaric blow can be used on range weapon :D

Nice catch!

 

And yeah, this makes no sense at all.

If it was up to me, I'd keep Barbaric Blow as is (Pretty cool image in my head: a frenzied barbarian mustering all her rage to burn away an eye-socket-penetrating arrow), and obviously, the ranger shots should work as previously.

What about firearms

What about firearms

 

If you thrust the firearm forwards as you fire it you increase the kinetic energy of the projectile 

Barbaric Blow also worked with ranged weapons in PoE1.
