Because of the lack of synergy with the Fighter's core abilities(marking and movement denial), any ranged attack is inherently a bad choice and a trap build. 4E does not offer bad choices and trap builds.If you want to use ranged attacks as a Fighter, there are a lot of ways to do this using the existing system:1. Use heavy thrown weapons and basic ranged attacks. This works perfectly well for all Fighters, and Javelins are ranged 10 which likely is more than you'll ever need.2. Boost Dex at every level and you are dangerous with basic ranged attacks with the bow.3. In addition to #2, multiclass into Ranger and take Ranger powers. If you want to go further, Paragon Multiclass into Ranger.What I am saying is that there SHOULDN'T be ranged attacks in the Fighter class, because the what the Fighter is about is Combat Superiority and Combat Challenge, which require you to be adjacent.</blockquote>
