PSA: Screaming Cliff Racer max damage bonus is applicable much closer than at max range

Just wanted to share this bit of info with other Mag Wardens!
The Screaming Cliff Racer tooltip reads as follows:
"Deal up to 15% increased damage against enemies at longer range."
So what exactly does this mean? It's tough to say as we can't simply pull out a measuring tape in-game, so perhaps the following image sheds some light on the vagueness of this skill's tooltip.
Where I am standing is the maximum possible range at which the Screaming Cliff Racer can reach my target (28m). My target being, in this case, the Target Skeleton, which can be seen positioned at the fountain.
Where my groupmate is standing is roughly halfway between the Target Skeleton and me. His position is also at which point the max Cliff Racer damage bonus begins. So, approximately 14m. This is within the range of Elemental Blockade and Deep Fissure, meaning that we can still place our DoTs on enemies while still receiving the maximum possible damage from our Cliff Racer.
If he were to take even one step closer to the Target Skeleton, his Cliff Racer would deal less damage.
I hope others find this useful. Cheers.
