When we distill combat styles in MMOs down to their most crude categories, we usually end up with three: melee fighting, ranged physical attacks, and ranged magic casting. This suits the array of players going into these games, as some love to get up close and visceral with foes while others adore hanging back to sling arrows, bullets, or fireballs.
