ranged slot items with a proc that says "on successful attack" won't be triggered by melee attacks, right?!

on the other hand with the Gu44 crafting changes the imbued str ring is being changed from "melee attack" to "successful attack" so it can be triggered by ranged attacks?

so: bandolier of flowing lava > flesh-shredder satchel ?!!

To have a ranged item proc on a melee attack, it needs to use the phrase "ANY successful attack", not just "successful attack".

There's a whole bunch of different key phrases, all proc'ing different things -
"Any successful attack" = proc off anything hostile - hostile spells, melee swings, melee ca's, ranged auto, ranged ca
"successful attack" = melee swings, ca - if on the offhand weapon, does not proc off ca, and only procs on swings of that offhand weapon. Also does not proc on double attack.
"successful ranged attack" = ranged auto and ranged ca


and so forth


This is why rangers were trying so hard to get a small handful of items for their offhands. Not because those items were bugged, but because they had specific language to allow them to proc on ranged. See the buckler of the howler for example.

Not that I know of unfortunately. What they've taken to doing more often is doing it for secondary items and not ranged ones. That way they can help out rangers who don't really need an offhand weapon with an item that can assist in their ranged damage. They'd probably say that giving us one in our ranged slot would make us overpowered.
