Yeah I get that, it was the first few meters I was talking abut: "mob standing a couple meters below me" to quote myself from above. If it wasn't close range the inclusion of pole arm in that list of weapons would make absolutely no sense.

Have you actually tried in game to hit a mob at the base of a 2m wall when you're on the top standing on a catwalk?
