Ranger's range?

[Wabafet]

How is the range on the ranger?
I've seen them shooting at a monster in the live cam and they were nice and far away, up on a cliff shooting at it with the mages and the tanks were at the bottom fighting it there.
Is the range on the bows that good or is it like EQOA where you pull the guy with a bow from close enough that you can see their name, then you might as well switch to a sword?

the range of the bow is a little shorter than magic...but if you work the monster so he has to take a while to get to you..you can get off maybe 2 shots
