Is the dragon fire breath considered a ranged attack or a mage attack? I am asking because, if it is mage, then using protect from mage prayer will allow me to range it while not wielding a anti-dragon shield and not get hit by the dragon's melee.

Non. Dragonbreath is dragonbreath. Nothing related to the three combat types.

Green, Blue, Red and Black Dragon's Fire Breath do not have a range, they are only employed when they are melee'ing you, so Ranging them from a safespot will be safe enough.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

However, KBD and Metal dragon's have a ranged fire breath, making them completely unsafe-spottable. Shields and Pot must be used in these cases.

OK, thanks, this will help me in both Slayer and general training. I'm trying to get the dragon drops from them, and not being toasted will greatly improve my chances. :D

Remember to stick on protect mage or wield an anti dragonshield if you go to pick up a drop though :wink:

Dragonbreath is mage.

I believe only missle attacks are considered ranged and dragonbreath is in no way a missle and is therefore magic.

it's mage for sure, i used it while facing elvarg, ;)

There are ranged Firebreath and they are still considered mage attack. In fact Magic Attacks are very often missile attacks too (only a few none ranged attacks are actually fully mage based, firebreath being one of them)
