I guess this is a terminology thing but when you say "melee threshold" would you be referring to the melee hit box? That is, the range at which you can use abilities such as Rocket Punch and Assault?

From your testing you've found that the melee hit box is a set distance? That is good info, ty .

Being as close as possible to the the training dummy does indeed set my range to 0m on the tooltip. Would it be safe to say the melee hit box is always 4.0m from absolute centre distance regardless of tooltip?

If the "centre to centre" distance varies, it "should" be based on the outer edge of a circle that expands based on the size of the boss.

I guess the next step, as you say, is to do some testing on a couple of larger targets and determine if the "melee" range is; a unique range per boss, a set % size of the "centre to centre" circle, a set tooltip distance of < or = to 2.75 meters, or a set range from absolute centre (like the melee hit box).

I would "assume" that if the 2.75 meter tooltip threshold is the same on 3 or more boss level targets, it "could" also be universal. However, testing on every boss in EC would be ideal as you say.

Unless for some reason it is indeed a unique range for each boss, I assume this could mean one of two things. Always taunt/melee DPS from max hit box range (where possible), or from 2.76+ meter tootip range.
