I’m not sure if many others already know this combo (although I rarely see sword rangers use it) but you can cover double the distance with your Hornet Sting by using Lightning Reflexes immanently after, then either turning your character or About Face to use Monarch’s Leap quickly before it resets back.
I personally find rotating the camera much easier that using About Face since the animation duration of sword #2 and LR is just long enough to re-position yourself to the direction you want to go in.
Sorry if it’s already well known, I only discovered it myself accidentally about a month ago. Now I use it all the time after Tequatl’s burn phases to make it to the megalaser and it always gets me to the mobs much earlier. ^^
