Empaths have a hard time using ranged weapons.

False, many empaths can control their empathy, there is even a type of empath that can channel their empathy to rage and in combat they are more savage, brutal and terrifying than sociopaths. They have an enhanced adrenal response to fear that is believed to deride from trauma and abuse.

Outside of combat they are empaths but during combat they are worse than psychopaths.

This is totally true.

I let you decide:

Zen. Doesn't require bullets.

Combat Spells
Empaths do not receive the same variety of direct attack and disabling spells as other pure spellcasting professions, but their attack magic is very potent against specific types of enemies.

The primary hunting spell of most empaths is Bone Shatter (1106), a direct attack warding spell with a high chance of critical effects against creatures with internal skeletons. At lower levels, there is a massive TD pushdown which aids the less experienced empath.

The hybrid bolt/warding attack Empathic Assault (1110) relies on training in Spell Aiming and Mental Lore, Telepathy to be effective.

Wither (1115) is a high-level attack option that can be very lethal when used by empaths with exceptional casting strength and deep training in Spiritual Lore, Summoning.

Empaths also have access to the spells Fire Spirit (111) and Web (118) from the Minor Spiritual circle, both requiring training in Spell Aiming.

Control spells include Empathy (1108) and Sympathy (1120), as well as options from spiritual circles such as Unbalance (110) and Bind (214).

Higher level empaths can make use of Empathic Link (1117) to potentially attack multiple enemies at once.
