Ranged + Double Strike

from Elemental Forums

When using a bow, my champion when using Double Strike, is forced to go to Melee range, and as far as I can tell, is considerably weaker.

 

Imo, all of these Special attacks, should be compatible with both Ranged and Melee weapons.

There's a range on Double Strike, but it isn't melee. I used it with a bow for awhile. It isn't the entire map, but  it is at least five or six squares in range. I don't find any difference in the damage, in fact, I seem to crit more often using Double Strike (i.e. more crits from Double Strike vs twice the normal attacks).

I see, I will need to play around with that more then.

If this is true, then never mind :)

Double Strike uses the range of the weapon. Bows have a weapon range (shortbow is 6, longbow is 8), but it doesn't seem to be working for normal attacks.
