annoying weapon skill misses

[FANCY60]

I hate having optimum range to shoot from as a ranger. im not such a great ranger, so when i use slugshot /sidewinder at the appropriate distance, i can pull off moderate to mediocre damage but if i use numbing shot at the same distance away from monster as sidewinder, well i loose TP. (may I remind you that sidewinder was used at the so called sweet spot). Therefore, why oh why would SE give us a distance penalty and then make the distance of weaponskills vary. i mean why? makes using rangers the little bit more annoying sweet spot for normal shots should be the same as those for ALL weaponskills is what i am saying and guys im from CROYDON
