This qualifies as a short-range blast!
Shoo, Shoo! Go shine the boots of your Supreme Huntsman and Crab Overlords!
I don't think it does, but if so, they need to look at Focus from the claws set.
Where to now?

Negaduck: I see you found the crumb. I knew you'd never notice the huge flag.
Melee sets I can see leaving at 40 feet, since that's their longest-range attack and... well, they're melee sets. Focus and Shockwave, Impale and Throw Spines, Hurl and Hurl Boulder... they're oddball ranged attacks in melee sets.
Bane Spiders aren't melee with ranged powers; they're offense/defense. In fact, looking at the powers, they get access to more ranged attacks in their primary than they do melee, so I'd certainly say they qualify as "blast-ish"
Poisonous Ray fits the bill for the powers being boosted: it's a shorter-range, higher-damage attack. It's more akin to Blaze and Bitter Ice Blast than it is to Impale or Focused Burst.

I could see it being increased to 70 per the other Mace Blasts. I guess.
Not a big deal though.
You have your silly cone, and your silly short range "ranged" power. You, however, do have an extra ranged attack
|
- Single Shot
- Burst
- Heavy Burst
- Venom Grenade
- Frag Grenade
- Mace Beam
- Mace Beam Blast
- Mace Beam Volley
- Poisonous Ray
Like bullony you can't. Gimping yourself by spurning the Wolf powers is as silly a concept-motivated farce as running a Mastermind without pets. *Looks at avatar*
Conversely, Banes have access to the following melee attacks from their primary:
- Pummel
- Bayonet
- Bash
- Pulverize
- Shatter
- Crowd Control
Even if you discount the Wolf powers, it still leaves Banes with 4 each of ranged and melee.
That's NOT a BLAST set.
Nice try though.

Darq Widow Fortune LVL 50 Fortunata (200% rech/Night Widow 192.5% rech)--thanks issue 19!

Neither are Dominator secondaries, but they're getting the range treatment.
Nice try though.

We will honor the past, and fight to the last, it will be a good way to die...

SoA's attack sets are more similar to Assault sets than anything else. I fully support this buff. Banes are the redheaded stepchild of the VEAT family anyway.

Three ranged attacks, huh? Bane Spiders have access to the following ranged attacks from their primary:

Well, Life Drain is from Dark Blast.

With the survivability of SoA, who cars about the 40ft difference. Get in there and kill stuff while the baddies pray one of their hits land. Oh yeah, and mez protection...
It's worth noting that even blasters have single target ranged attacks shorter than 80 feet that were not mentioned to be expanded. For example, the tier 1 immobilize powers on many secondaries.

And I do believe when someone pointed it out to him, Hawk said they'd look at bringing all the tier 1s to Subdue's range.

Arbiter Hawk has said that ONLY the short range blasts in blast sets and Dominator t9 short range blasts will be changed in this way.
Claws Focus doesn't qualify, neither does Impale or Focused Burst.
I would wager that Poisonous Ray won't fit the bill either.

So hey, devs, you'll be upgrading this one to 80 feet too, right?
