When you say you are not getting the extra range are you basing that off the range the info panels is giving you?
The bonus range from the set bonus does not show up in the numbers display, sadly (much like global recharge and global accuracy do not show up). However, the extra range should be there.
Although, even 169 feet should be good enough to snipe the bombs in the UGT.
Why Blasters? Empathy Sucks.
So, you want to be Mental?
What the hell? Let's buff defenders.
Tactics are for those who do not have a big enough hammer. Wisdom is knowing how big your hammer is.
As StratoNexus said, pulling up the "Details" screen in the enhancement window won't show the extra range you are getting from set bonuses, only the range directly slotted in that power. To see your actual range boost, check the Combat Attributes window.
Also, a good way to test your range is to find an enemy in a zone, set it as a way point (which I think is still possible), and see what the furthest distance back is from which you could snipe it. If that isn't possible, you can also make a thumbtack on your map at the location of the enemy to do something similar.
@Winter. Because I'm Winter. Period.
I am a blaster first, and an alt-oholic second.
I did not know that, thanks for the tips guys I appreciate it.
Hi! I'm a Fire/Elec blaster: Survivor of Uchiha. My sniper skill 'blazing bolt' is slotted with Sting of the Manticore and gets up to a range of 169.13 ft. I also have the Superior ATO set placed into blaze. My understanding is that the range set bonus goes to all powers, yet I'm not getting an increase on my sniper skill. I really need to figure this out as it pertains to UGTs. Thank you for our time.
