Combat Medic Archive

I recently decided to pick up musician so I could do foc/will buffs on my main. To my surprise I discovered that it's not as quick and easy as I thought it would be. Entertainer Healing XP slows advancement down quite a bit, so I used my extra medical xp to pick up 2004 in combat medic. Another CM crafted area A and B foc/will/mind disease packs with MU 75 or less, and single target C packs for the same 3 stats. After a bit of trying we got an amazing group together that was willing to take disease, and after some trial and error I got a macro to disease the entire group going, and macroed it. While I was at the computer most of the time just to make sure it was running smoothly (the long pauses means that if something went wrong, I had wait 13 minutes to see if I had fixed it), it can be run AFK with no problems, if your group is good. The main macro uses 2 submacros for targetting and ending duels. When I tried to put the entire thing in one single macro, it would tend to crash my computer, and delete half the text. Figuring it was too long for a single, I coded it into 3 different ones, and it worked perfectly.

EACH MEMBER OF THE GROUP MUST STOP PERFOMING, SELECT LISTEN OR WATCH FROM ANOTHER GROUPMEMBERS, AND THEN START PERFORMING AGAIN ONCE DURING THIS MACRO!!!

This allows the entertainers to heal each other's mind wounds, and generate xp for the entire group

Macro #1 - DiseaseLoop

Disease loop in 40 seconds; (This warns your group that you are about to begin)
/stopmusic;
/pause 15;
/duel embless; (This line and the next 2 lines were for people who were not members of the group, but
/duel tarrie;wished to take disease in order to help a friend or their alt character gain more xp. Just
/duel sadarian; remove these lines or replace them with people to disease outside your group)
/pause 2;
/macro DuelAll; (This calls the first submacro which tabs through your group and challenges them to duel)
/pause 25; (Allows enough time for the first submacro to complete)
/ui action targetSelf; (This line and the next target you, then cycles out to the first available attackable target)
/ui action cycleTargetOutward;
/ui action toolbarSlot01; (Place your disease packs in slots 2-8, and this will activate them)
/peace; (Gets you out of combat, which is critical if you intend to keep performing)
/pause 13; (Pause for enough time to use the next pack)
/ui action toolbarSlot02;

/macro EndduelAll; (This calls the submacro to end the duel with your group)
/pause 3;
/startmusic ballad; (Starts you playing your song again, replace ballad with whatever you can play)
/peace;
/pause 30;
/startmusic ballad; (Just in case you were still in combat, this starts your music a second time)
/pause 300; (5 minutes before the next cycle, it gives a warning to your group)
This macro will begin in 5 minutes;
/pause 300; (5 minutes after your warning, this macro repeats itself, as the disease has worn off)

-------------------------------------------------

Macro #2 - AutoDuel

/duel Montag (Replace montag with your Combat Medic's name)

/peace

/pause 30

/ui action toolbarSlot00 (Place this in toolbarslot 1)

....This macro is given to your groupmembers if they wish to afk and not type /duel everytime your disease cycle comes up. They simply make a macro with that text, replacing my name with that of the CM they are using, and let it run. Once they have /peace out of combat once, they will not have their playing interrupted by the combat medic's disease cycle. The more people in an entertainers group that participate, the more xp will be generated by the combat medic for the group. It is a fast way to earn entertainer healing experience.

As a close I would like to thank the people in my groups that participated in this experiment, and helped me (and themselves) along the path to master musician or dancer. Shados, Arasten, Katie, Drider, Shinzu, Dazlin, Diziet, Lina, Nebetad, musiker, D'har, ork, Spot, zonn, Felg, Icip, Brujo, Phaded, shiraz, sab-ine, Elorile. If I forgot anyone, my apologies, and thank you too.

Montag -- Eclipse

Yikes, I'm surprised at everything it took just to get a little xp from me

Theres one minor flaw with this...

Someone who's performing does not give out xp for being healed, no matter who they started watching/listening to. If they are involved in healing themselves, there is no xp earned. Unless it's an AE disease, it's just wasting the packs.

You're wasting time if you don't use AE packs in the first place, and I know for a fact that it works because I made 350k xp over the course of 2 days using this

You were also doing people outside the group from the sounds of it. All the healing xp was for healing them.

Sometimes we used people outside the group, not always. Healing mind wounds gives xp at the rate of 1 xp per 10 wounds healed, or so I remember reading somewhere. having 2-3 people outside a group would not generate xp at the rateat which we were gaining it.

That was me that came up with that xp number. And I later found out it's not entirely the case. I was using a secondary stat for the test. I think mind pool gives more xp for heals.

Two people will give about 50-100xp per tick of healing xp. Remember, you have battle fatigue from the wounds inflicted too.

This macro works wonders, and I would know as I was one of Forsaken's guinea pigs

Enjoy it and add in anything you like to try to make it better.

Wow, nice Macro

Did you post this on the ent boards too? Because I think that they would want/need it more.

Yeah, I slapped it down there too. Would be funny if this became a CM business similar to doctor buffs. CM diseasing! 20k per round!

Very nice macro indeed!

Here's the logic behind a macro for the master entertainer that wants to make some money:

/pause 1:

I'm buffing, we're buffing, would you like mind buffing too?;

/pause 5;

For a mind buff please invite me to your group for the next 15 minutes;

/pause 30;

I am not accepting group invitations for de mind buff mon - remember, please invite me to the group and make sure you are listening to de soothing music mon;

/pause 5;

I'm joining de group mon, time to party!;

/join;

Let's party!

/pause 1;

(i'm just throwing this together from memory, so you want to toss in 15 minutes worth of specials and you might want to toss a /healwound self comand in there if you can use stims. As in Montag'sfantastic macro,Iuse submacro's using the ui action toolbarSlot commands to change my chat so that it's not repetitive. Most people don't realize it's a macro -so it's polite toput in some /g tells stating thatyou hope they enjoy your automated buffing service and all tips are appreciated Since group buffing is passive, but requires longer times, you can save some room by not having to cycle targets or /setperform so just concentrate on the specials and educating customers on the benefits of your service.)

your buff should be done mon, and for da ladies too, please remember to stop with de listening and enjoy de buff!; (my character is from the islands)

/pause 1;

I be leaving da group mon, please come again!;

/leave group; /disband; /whatever;

/ui action toolbarSlot00; (to advertise for you next customer)

"I am not accepting group invitations for de mind buff mon - remember, please invite me to the group and make sure you are listening to de soothing music mon;"

not = now, sigh..
