Kudos again to the folks at diablo.incgamers.com for this information. The results below are measured using in-game "yards". See this article for the details on how they did the measuring and an idea of what these distances look like on screen. Note that these are based on beta, so if people see things that have changed (like Dire Bats being fixed), please update the values.
Maximum Distance/Range for Skills
A range of values is listed for a
few skills due to them being random. Also, distances for skills that
don’t touch the ground (& go past the left/right edge of the screen)
have their perspective affected by their casting elevation. I’m not
sure how to adjust the perceived distance to compensate, so their
actual range will be less than the observed distance listed. The
skills that are affected are marked with an “*”. Also, some skills
were harder than others to judge so there’s no guarantee it’s error
free.
