For those that can't comprehend what I'm getting at, take for example Freezing lance being cast at 11 range (with astral bow + eagle eye) compared to a terra lance being cast at range 9 (astral bow + eagle eye). The range gap between the 2 skills will obviously cause your character to run closer to the target, thus delaying the cast time. Although it might not seem like much delay, if you were to use longer ranged skills more often, you'll save alot of time casting rather than running to get a closer attempt. Now this doesnt mean that in combo freezing lance's dps > terra lance, obviously not, it's pretty much common sense that terra lance has the highest dps for a lance. But this only applies to freestyle pvp or pk. Like XI stating that starting your combo before your opponent is the key to victory, the additional range will alow you to cast your skill faster as opposed to a shorter ranged skill.
