I'd like to know why is Sonic Blow's skill range defined as -1 in the db?
If there's no particular reason for this, Sonic Blow's range should be set to 1, which is it's actual range. I know this may seem pointless, but as you know (and I guess it has only been fixed recently in eA?), monsters don't use skills with a range lower than their current attacking range in Aegis. And since Sonic Blow's range is 1, tanking mobs such as Valkyries and Ifrit is MUCH easier while standing a few cells away from them, because it avoids the tank from taking quite a bunch of damage, since SB is usually one of the most damaging skills these mobs use.
Just so this post wouldn't stay here without any sort of proof or citations, I decided I should at least quote Doddler on this one (even though this is basically common sense in officials xD):

PS: This behavior already works for the other skills mentioned, since their ranges are correct in the skilldb (2 for ME and 1 for Full Divest).

QUOTE (Doddler)
By default, Ifrit has a longer attack range than the range on ME, so if he's tanked at his maximum range, he won't be able to cast ME, nor sonic blow or full divest. It's actually for this reason we don't dispell his 2h quicken, because he tends to move a cell closer to the tank when that happens and then he'll magnetic earth.
