Revision as of 15:51, 25 January 2011
The "hitbox" is a radius that is added to attack ranges to account for the attacker and target's sizes, since the game treats each unit as a single point when checking range. Players and most mobs have a 5-yard hitbox; bosses often have larger hitboxes. Since melee attacks have a nominal range of zero, you can attack a target in melee only if your center point is inside its hitbox.
Area of effect checks also add the hitbox; the mob ability Swell demonstrates this, since it has a zero-yard range but still hits players.
The hitbox is a property of the target; thus, if a boss with a 10-yard hitbox and a player both have attacks with a 30-yard range, the player can attack from 5 feet farther away than the boss can.
Onyxia has an extremely large hitbox; she is able to be attacked by melee at least 10 yards away from where her model actually ends.
