Melee attack from far away : COH - General / Guide - Discussions

Requirements:
1). Super speed(not needed but should be used)
2). A melee type charecter
3). Hurdle(And again like super speed, not needed but should be used)

Now that you have that we can begin:

Ok, First off find an enemy at any level (use sense make it close to your own level). Then switch on super speed. Run towards the enemy and as soon as you get within a foot from him jump up, hit attack and you will land doing your attack on him, 75+ yards away. You can still get hit by ranged attacks mind you(Note: Super speed adds dodge bonus), but for the enemy to melee attack they have to run all the way back to your position, and by the time they get 25 yards away from you, you can do it again. I know that some of you will say things like "But doesnt super speed make you less accurate?", yes it does but thats why we have inspirations. Be sure to carry a few accuracy inspirations with you.

This method is only good verses some one with a very powerful melee attack and one that doesn't switch to a long range weapon.

It kind of takes a lot of work (running back and forth), but you can use powers that have long animations without being hit by powerfull melee attackers (ogres, most mobs have a powerful melee attack).

If you're really into this try going further in the HOLLOWS missions. When you get the mission that's in the caves there will be soo many ogres and melee attackers you'll want to run back and forth all day.

Remember to have another mission so you can exit and then SWITCH missions and "abandon mission in progress" then reenter cave.

In fact, you can just go to the tunnels in hollows and do this without having any missions.

hmm...this all seems like a whole lot of work just to hit an enemy with what you are trying to explain as a ranged melee attack essentially,i think it would go twice as fast if you just went up to him and started punching or whatever it is your char does.But it does sound fun if you are bored one day and think you might just want to waste a little time having fun with your prey..

1.Can't they hit you while you attack them.
2. most enemies have guns.
