It isn't supposed to be a balance argument. I'm only trying to show that not standing in the middle of a group in a fight is not that easy as it looks. The best position is 10+ m away to the left/right from the group. Then using simple math you get that the marks need to have 36+ m range to be able to shoot while not getting any of the support spells the group is getting. For this much range you need parabolic shot which costs mana and has limited duration.

Last but not least the range of terror isn't a problem, the fact that canceled spells don't get on cooldown is. But this isn't the point of this thread.
