Right now, when armor/jewelry slot items get a damage effect, it applies to both ranged and melee. I think it would be better if these items had flags that could designate "only ranged" or "only melee" damage bonuses. This would allow, for example, a pair of sniper goggles that boost ranged damage, without the need to worry about melee characters using it. by contrast, some kind of power gauntlet item could grant voltaic damage, but only to melee attacks.
More specific flags are always nice to have. But it'd also be nice if the existing crossbowshotBuff and related buffs worked inside <buff></buff> tags. Someone said that was supposed to have been fixed, but experiments have proven otherwise.
