healing macro

I'm setting up a macro to raise healing. However, when i set the pause for 18 secs in order to give the bandage time to cure after casting poison (actually anywhere 18 + secs) the macro times out and moves on before curing the poison. Thus i burn through bandages/reagents and remained poisoned and unhealed :/

I cant figure out a way in Razor to change the timeout on the pause..it seems to be at about 17 secs, just short enough to miss curing with bandages. I can edit the timeout on "wait for target" but that's it.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. If you have a .macro file for your healing macro that works, please post it here.

Thanks!!!!!

Insert a pause after abolsulte target then put the pause at 18500ms That should work. Better yet have another toon you're curing and set the wait to 6500 ms. That will give you much quicker gains than waiting 3x as long.

Again, Karik's advice is pretty much spot on, but if you don't have another guilded toon (so you don't turn grey and visible), what I did was to instert a small task in between.

Going from memory, it's something like:

If mana > XX
If hit points > XX
Cast poison
wait for target
target self
End if
End if
If sys msg "poisoned" (or whatever it is, can't seem to remember)
dble click by type bandage
wait for target
target self
End if
Pause 0.5s
dbl click by type scissors
wait for target
Pause 0.5s
target by type cut cloth
pause 17s

Something like that.

the best way to do it is trap a snake in your house, have a different toon get attacked by it, and heal it with whatever toon you are trying to raise healing on. its twice as fast and way cheaper :wink:

maybe I'll find a snake and unleash on my poor crafter...

Here's my current macro

Double click (Bandages)
Wait for target
Exec: Target Self
Pause: 20.00 Seconds
If [Hits >=95]
CastSpell: Poison
Wait for Target
Exec: Target Self
End If

I get poisoned fine, but the razor macro times out before the bandage has enough time (18 secs) to cure me, even though my pause is 20 secs :/

Try this:

Double click (Bandages)
Wait for target
Exec: Target Self
Pause: 9.00 Seconds
Pause: 9.00 Seconds
If [Hits >=95]
CastSpell: Poison
Wait for Target
Exec: Target Self
End If

See if it's an issue with having a long pause or what.

Found a snake...trapped him in the house, but now I'm just manually healing (killed the first snake..forgot to let him be able to escape and heal lol).

I'm not so great at macros...any suggestions on how to do this w/o babysitting?
Thanks!

Let him hit you and tab out, that way he'll keep hitting you but you won't hit back.

The snake thing worked real well. I had him trapped in my house poisoning my crafter while healing toon cured when necessary, which was very often :-) Goes much faster than trying to heal myself and cheaper too...bandages only cost me time to gather mats.

the only issue was I had to baby sit it the whole time. I manually healed, and then tabbed out on my crafter so he wouldn't kill the snake.

I don't mind doing it this way as the gains were fairly consistent. Want to get to 80 for rez as quickly as possible. However, it would be cool if there was a way to macro doing it this way. If not, no biggie.
