I'd take a wild guess that as with all dagganoths they use both range and melee, but as with all the dagganoths in the quest the melee attack is strongest by far. And therefore is best to protect from. No i stood there with range pray on and 0 damage. but as soon as i puit melee on i got damaged. so idk wat went on lol. You weren't in melee range and therefore it did not use melee attack? No i was directly next to em the spot right next to them so theres no possible way that i was out of their melee range.
