Q:

Will my party members get a precision buff from my banner of discipline if a mob is more than 600 units away?

As far as I understand it wont have any effect on those mobs stranding over 600 units away because the range and effective radius is 600.
I just have a friend who told me otherwise so I’d like to hear you guys out.

Thanks in advance! :-)

A:

So if my teammates are within 600 units my teammates gets the extra precision – also against enemies who are over 600 units away?

Exactly. Banners only affect your allies. As long as your allies show up having the corresponding little buff icon, their actions will be enhanced regardless of where their target is.

Always question your assumptions.

You pick the banner up, move closer to enemy until inside the white aoe circle, skill #5 to re-place banner, continue fighting.

I myself wish they would make banners able to be placed on the back and can run around with 1 on back at a time… But that is just a dream of mine.

Not sure if this answer your question or not, but banners don’t effect mobs at all, it effects players.

He’s asking if his friends will get the buff if they are farther than 600 meters from the banner because the mob is. No.
