Are Heroes meant to have a low range?

I was told that heroes are meant to have a low range because you have ACA. In other words I was told if you have a 50k range you actually have a 100k range because of ACA. Is this true? And sorry if it is not clear.

[quote=Wubzey]Evans magic amp and dragon fury are added to their range too. Phantoms have the 30% damage from aria in their range but not the 25% from combo obviously.[/quote]

Oh yea those two, I have a Evan but never really check their range XD

Well, yes... we Heroes get lower attack range from the weapons, but ACA makes up for it.

I had a DrK friend that has a bigger attack range than mine (but hits lower), i asked him to lend me his spear and when i equipped it, my range increased like crazy...

This only proves the difference between weapon multipliers

[quote=mark24]this is wrong. hero dont have low range u just need to fund. hero 1h weaps have low multiplier but that just means u need to spend less on your weap and more on your gears. its rely not that complicated. for example its best for a mech to have a godly gun like the 227att im making becus of the high gun multiplier. a mage wouldnt get nearly as much from a similiar staff so a mage should focus on %int much more than puting funds into its weap[/quote]

The multiplier doesn't affect whether atk or %stat is better. The multiplier will affect both exactly the same. The multiplier directly affects your range not just your weapon.
You are right that a mage will get less range from a godly staff as a mech would from a godly gun but you fail to realize that the same is true for %stat. A class with a high multiplier (or lots of skills that affect range like a BaMs Battle Mastery) will get more out of %stat as well. So all classes fund themselves the same. All classes need a good balance of atk and %stat.

[quote=FireBoy67]We have lower ranges because our weapon multipliers are pretty low compared to other classes. 1h Swords/axes/bws are 1.2 and 2h weapons have the 1.34 multiplier. Where as other weapons have lower attack but higher multipliers like bows iirc have a 1.4 multiplier or something around that range pirate weapons are a great example since they have very low attack numbers but high multipliers to make up for it. Plus, our buffs are all %total damage versus %attack which shows up in your range other than MW, AFA, and Rage.[/quote]

We don't have low ranges [i]because[/i] we have ACA, those have nothing to do with each other

Edit: I misunderstood, my fault. Heroes don't have as low ranges as some other jobs. Our range is "lower" because ACA isn't a factor of our range. It still shows up in the damage we do, though.

Yeah, the damage boost from ACA doesn't show up on your range.
Edit: well, they're not really supposed to have a "low" range, but ACA and that bossing skill that uses all your combo orbs don't contribute to your attack range; only your damage.
