What's not intuitive about 25y range being explicitly listed in the tooltip like with every other ranged skill in game? Adding the word "ranged" to the text a dozen pixels away from that doesn't make it more descriptive than it already is.

This is because the skill is mostly pointless and doesn't need to be used to do well as a RDM. It's just RDM's version of Scathe but with an additional cost: a filler attack for when you have to spend more than a full GCD without casting but the target is still available. I use it maybe once or twice a fight at most.
