Due to the cast time on these small circles, its hard to use my staff attacks on moving targets.

What am I doing wrong?

Get the trait that increases marks radius and makes them unblockable (though it’s currently bugged and doesn’t work with Mark of Blood, its still good). I mainly use staff when defending or capping a point – this way you know people are gonna be standing in the glowing circle and makes it a bit easier. When you miss a mark and you’re attacked by a melee class – just run over it, most ppl get tunnel vision and will follow you.

Besides that, you need to get used to it. I use Fast ground targeting since beta and I’m getting better and better. It’s all practice.

Yeah it’s all practice. Because of the cast time you need to lead your target much like in any FPS’er.

After a little bit of practice, I don’t have many problems with leading my target, just keep practicing.

but cant do this in WvW when zerging. since enemies are going everywhere and AoE is your main threat.

Only use the staff to setup a defensive battle or to open up from afar before you get in range of your main weapon.
