Forever Rangefinder

How far your enemy is, and a loud warning in a hunter's dead zone. A hunter's Auto Shot reaches from 8 to 35 yards and melee reaches about 5, so between 5 and 8 yards the hunter can hit you with neither of them. Forever Rangefinder shows how far your enemy target is and tells you when you stand in that gap.

• Works on every class. You need no special spells: the range comes from the game's own item and interact range checks, in and out of combat.
• The range at a glance. A small panel with the target's portrait or class icon, the band, such as 10-20 yd, and a ruler from 5 to 40 yards with your band lit.
• Hunter zones. On a hunter the ruler is coloured and the panel names the zone: Melee range, DEAD ZONE, Auto Shot reaches you, Out of Auto Shot range.
• The dead zone warning. A red glow fading in from the screen edges, big words, a line saying why you are safe, and a raid warning sound when you enter, at most once in 3 seconds. The checks run ten times a second, because a runner crosses the zone in less than half a second.
• No false alarms. The warning needs both borders to answer: the 5 yard check says no and the 8 yard check says yes. If the game gives no answer, you get no warning.

Commands

Hold Shift and drag to move the panel.

Good to know

• It covers your current target only, not a hunter on a nameplate.
• These are bands, not exact yards. The checks were measured on hostile NPCs. Enemy players have not been measured yet, so the checks may behave differently on them, and the 8 yard border can be about a yard off.
• If you try it against a real hunter, /frf check shows what the game answers. Tell me in the comments.
