Throw stone ability/skill suxors!

Monks and other melee classes have a low level skill called "throw stone":
http://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/item.html?item=29936This skill is useless cuz the range is effectively lower than the typical mob's aggro range (50'). I don't know why SoE never fixed it on live. Anyway, I found out that this still has the same limitation here. Is there a way this can be fixed? My monk couldn't use a range slot item w/ good stats because I have to use summoned throwing fangs instead. Maybe a 100' range would actually make this skill useful? Please?

technically as a monk you should be throwing something more solid than a rock =) Maybe a Star =) Are those sold on basic vendor?
But I see what you saying

Ninjas use throwing stars, monks are not as sophisticated and like to use eco-friendly tools like stones

I am thinking if I should instead add to vendor Eco-Clean All Natural Rock with a range of a 100

Look up an old friend, Raster of Guk
First upgrade for monks in the throwing department.

I extended the range to 100 (was 50). Will go live once we pulish a new spellfile.
