<DIV>So I'm curious if this is broken or working right or what, but I've noticed that when I turn on SoA and the target dies before the end of the CA I cannot continue the CA on other targets, I have to cancel it. Now that may be intended but the weird thing is if I'm assisting the MT and he tabs to other targets before the original target is dead the CA seems to continue. I thought perhaps that despite the target being different I'm still shooting at the same mob but I don't think that's the case because they seem to stay up, even with slivers of health left. Any ideas?</DIV>

I've noticed this as well. I believe it is working as intended. SoA is very useful on MoBs with lots of hit points, but not so useful on large encounters. At least it only has a 30 second recast... <div></div>

<DIV>SoA is basically a dot, that can be cured btw ( in the event that you duel an inq. that realizes it ). You cast a dot on a mob it dies, your dot doesnt switch to a different target, and as such, niether does Stream of Arrows.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV>

According to the description it is working as intended, you just need to remember to turn it off prior to using another ability. It's a little awkward at first but after a few uses it becomes more natural. Of course they'll change that on me now that I'm used to it...:smileyvery-happy: <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Cheers,</DIV>

Well you could target the maintank and hit the Assist key, to have your MT's target as your target (not sure what the default key for it is - might be F - but you can assign it to a key). Then it dies you target the MT again and continue.Ok, it takes a bit longer till you're back in the fight, and its a bit more uncomfortable, but as someone pointed out, at the beginning the mob is mainly untaunted and punching it full of arrows is not adviced anyway.Also it reduces the risk of the MT accidently targeting the big, ugly, not-yet-attacked, Epic x4 boss 30m away while killing the spawns around him, and it getting hit by a few arrows <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />
