I made this archer and at the moment i got BoA at lvl 3. I was wondering how people keeps it running even when the monster that they targeted is dead or they cant??? The reason why im asking this is because i can't keep the BoA running if my target is dead, when my target die boa interrupts too. How can i prevent this to happen. Thanks in advance .b:thanks

    You can't.
    I am Olba. Not Ol, not Baze nor Blaze. And even less would I go by Olblaze. Please, take a second to read a person's username.
    If you see b:cute be sure to take a second, calm look at anything I said.

    When zhenning, they abuse a glitch.

    The Archer duels the cleric or the Wizard, starts Barrage and wins the duel. Somehow this causes the Barrage to stay on the opponent. Though obviously you can't do that with mobs, since their bodies disappear on death.

    There is a glitch that archers can abuse by barraging on another player in a duel. When the other player loses the duel the barrage stays up (possibly because the other player doesn't actually die).

    GMs have specifically allowed this form of zhenning on the basis of the skill description saying that the barrage should not stop until mana is depleted or you press ESC. However you are not allowed to be AFK while zhenning.

    one interesting thing this does is that if you trust the person you are letting hold your barrage, then you can have a moving 12meter aoe within 30 meters of you, 36 if you go sage and use a range extending cross bow.
    patience is a virtue

    thats kinda the point after the duel the barrage continues and the cleric can heal without taking any damage and still stays as the center of the barrage

    Other easy way - set BOA on someone and add him to party after it.
