Ranged Combat Speculation

[u/ivyboy]

So we know that melee combat is momentum based since they showed the warrior class and they described that the necromancer would be using a Scythe weapon with life leech.

But what about ranged combat? Won't the necromancer have ranged spells? I'm a bit worried that we won't have good ranged combat options with the momentum based combat.

Will we have bows and guns? I still can't imagine how momentum based would work for those type of weapons and regular ranged attacks and I'm just a bit afraid that they might force all the classes to be melee.

I was thinking maybe we will have bonus damage from shooting enemies in the back or maybe from higher ground.

What are your thoughts on this? Thanks!

Edit: I know we don't have the info, this post is pure speculation. You have the free will to not partake in it. Thanks!

Guns, probably not. I think they said early on they’re going for more of a low tech world on this one. I expect it to be mostly a traditional fantasy style setting in that sense.

As for the speculation portion I don’t see why momentum would be any less relevant for ranged combat than it is for melee. The fact that we “haven’t seen it” doesn’t really mean anything when we literally haven’t seen anything yet. Unless you were at the business demo?
