Recklessness a short "buff" you have to keep recasting?

I'm trying to decide between playing a few different classes. I've only played the Sith Sorc up to lvl 4.

One of the things that bugs me is the short range of his lightning attacks (10m).

I notice at lvl 8 he gets a spell called Recklessness that increases the range of Force Lightning to 30m, but it only lasts 20 seconds.

Is this a spell you continually have to cast in your spell rotation even at higher levels?

Thanks.

You get longer range based on your advanced class and skills you choose. Recklessness gets other procs from skill tree abilities. Check out TORhead for a full list of skills and abilities for every class.

When you actually go sorc you get increased range. Recklessness then becomes useful for forcing crits when healing or dpsing. It has bailed me out of many a hairy healing situation. Very useful.

Actually, you haven't played a Sith sorcerer yet.  At level 4 you are still only an Inquisitor.  When you pick your advanced class you can choose to become a sorcerer, in which case your lightning attacks will have the 30m range all the time.  However, if you choose to go the assassin route, they will remain 10m, but you will be more melee focused anyway.
