or any pole-ranged weapon
From the tiny bit of testing I did.. you cant. Someone please tell me I'm wrong. It made sense to me that if you can charge to melee from pole with a melee-ranged weapon, you could charge to pole from missile with a pole-ranged weapon.
thanks all!

Pole to Melee is about 15 -20 feet tops. Missile to Pole can conceivably 20 feet short of the entire room's size, which is likely a lot bigger than 40 feet.

>I have a really awesome idea for anyone that wants to attack from missile (because let's face it, that's what this is really about)...
>Use a missile weapon.
Some people want non-missle weapons to actually be effective in PvP. A retreat\r macro is pretty easy to make.

In theory I would agree. In practice this just means that nothing will be changing for years. Like forging, or skinning, or any other system waiting and waiting and waiting and waiting for a massive rewrite that no one wants to tackle.

To answer the question, charging in and of itself is from pole to melee only. No charging from missile, not even with a pole range weapon. The benefit to pole range weapons is that you can stand at pole range and hit your opponent, particularly helpful when facing opponents with only melee range weapons.
