Blasting staff
Agreed that they need to have better descriptions for traits. In the mean time you can go to the Mists and respec anyway you like for free and try out the differences between builds.
I had to check the wiki to see if it was bugged after equipping the trait and noticing no change in size to the AoE marker. It wasn’t until I actually used the abilities that I noticed a difference. I don’t know why they didn’t make the actual AoE marker change to reflect the increased size gained by Blasting Staff.
The trait works fine in the Mists, it’s just in PvE that the green circle doesn’t update.
I think it’s a bug, but like many others I don’t hope to see it fixed anytime soon… (I mean, it took them 6 months to fix a 50 Healing Power instead of Power in the Rune of Pack set, imagine if it’s something a bit more complex)
The only way to avoid this bug is to get access to Blasting Staff before you learn any of your staff skills. By doing so the green circle will have correct AoE indication. However, after taht you have to learn the staff skills one more time without Blasting Staff.

That’s pretty much impossible xD. You can’t learn the skills twice, unless you take another character. And I also don’t get why you would need to. ^^
@OP: Did you try to equip some other weapons and then change back to staff? Maybe it helps; who knows.
