They just need to make us a 40yd class. I agree that all of our spells should cast on the move with the exception of empowered spells, but hover makes them castable while moving.
I read one of the designer notes saying that the 25yd range came from the idea of a dragon swiping with its claws and tail - iconic. However, all of our actual attacks are ranged based spells. We do not physically swipe with our claws, and our wing buffet and tail swipe are more akin to druid cyclone or shaman thunderstorm; not actual DPS abilities that our other core mechanics should be built around.
