To range... or not to range... that is the question!

[jeuce]

The toon in question is a Mace/Bio (i never played either set and figured why not) using the weapon mastery epic (web 'nade and targeting drone). On the advice from a friend, I took confront to assist squishys (pvp/pve). The biggest downside i have come across is the lack of range, both in pvp and pve. run up to something, only to have it die or run away before i get there. on that note, i'm thinking of swapping the epic to Mace patron (sniper and web nade), dropping confront and combat jumping (for LotG recharge) in favor of maneuvers and tactics. any advice is appreciated.
