Gear slots
There are 16 gear slots in Ashes of Creation:[12]
Ranged weapons
A character may equip up to two hand weapons and also wear a ranged weapon on their back.[13][14]
- Characters performing ranged abilities will switch to the ranged weapon, then can switch back to the melee weapon and shield or two-handed melee weapon.[13]
- The weapon held in the main hand slot determines the active weapon ability.[13]
Do I want my main hand to be my ranged weapon or do I want my main hand to be my melee weapon with regards to skill usage. For example, with the Ranger, if you have a range skill it'll automatically swap regardless of what your main weapon hand is, but for the combat ability for the "Auto Attack" feature it would be your chosen weapon.[13] – Steven Sharif
Rangers are going to have a minimum distance requirement where they are eligible to use their ranged weapons.[15]
While melee characters have a max distance proximity where they're eligible to use their sword and melee weapons, Rangers are going to have a minimum distance requirement.[15] – Steven Sharif
