That only gives a range of 7 TU / 4.2 yards though, so a few points in it would still be nice. Still, stuff like that generally just hurts the people who don't already have ubergear, while the ubers can shrug it off fairly easily.
I like the idea of making it not scale with the number of players who join, just like CE, since it is the ONLY skill like that, and it makes that skill fairly overpowered agains't enemies like Izual in players 8.
