Quad Kiting Spells....Range correct?

[Exard3k]

So I began Quadding with my wizard...has been a decade since I've done it. Dreadlands Yetis in the west.

Got everything necessary....spells, staff of temperate flux, sow. But I realized Circle of Force as well as Bonds of Force have an aweful range. Wiki says standard 200 range like normal nukes and others, but to cast circle of force (targeted AE, 4,5sec cast time) the mobs get into melee before I'm able to fully cast the spell even when snared.

Is wiki wrong on the range or is the range just really bad? I wasn't able to wipe an entire group of yetis yet as they keep hitting me in melee while being fully snared. I can't figure out how to do this [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Any hints?
