Thread: Has anyone noticed a delay in combat healing lately

I don't know if this is a bug or what, but I've noticed that sometimes the game doesn't recognize my healing commands.


I use a /peace, /healdamage macro. Lately in combat, my macro will do the /peace part (I get the "you stop fighting" system message)... but no heal comes. I have to hit my macro button 5 times in order to push the heal through.


I don't know if it's a macro problem, or a combat system problem, ora combo of the two.

Yes I have noticed a delay. It's several seconds even when nothing is in the combat queue. Quite annoying.

I have noticed the delay and it seems to be related to the speed of the weapon. If I am firing a slower weapon and queue up a heal the delay for the heal is the same as the delay before the next shot autofired from my weapon would be. If I am not actually in combat then the heals go through right away.

i have noticed this on TC i press my heal macro with the clear combat que thing and i do about another 2-3 normal hits before healing or stop wait 2-3 secs then heal which is rather annoying and has got me killed a few times altho i agree with previos posters it has always been there you just didnt notice it i remember as a medic on live i took 1-4 secs when in combat to heal when out its just wait untill im able to do another heal well thats my opinion im off to play the game

The problem is that as it gets in the queue, you always finish the last action of the queue when you clear it. Then, you will heal, butit depends on your weapon speed, so it can get pretty slow.

I EAT MY HAT! (not the +25 one, i need that )


i DO see the delay, not like i posted above,and it is driving me crazy too. it happens in combat (when u need it most)


i have a small heal macro that : /ui clearCombatQueue; /healDamage or /healDamage self etc.

now it used to be when i hit my maped key to that macro, the heal came almost right away.


yesterday i went with a noob to kill jantas and i was using many heals. (not my doc char, and alt char that has medic) and there was a DEFINATE delay. i tried to manualy Clear before the heal , i tried peace etc. there was almost always a delay. bad enough that my pal was incaped a few times becasue the darn heal would just not happen!!


oh and i also tried to NOT DO ANY SPECHIALS before trieing it and there was still a delay - to answer to post above that it needs to finish the previous move. i prefered the old way that we do not see it in the window.


this is bad.


i think we should kick this upstairs and start to worry about this!


if i get no replies here i will start a new thread.

I have noticed that the delay is still there over the last few days. I have just had to watch my health and action bars carefully and time when to use my meds. Whats weird is that not all medic and doc ablities show up on the combat queue. For instance when I rez someone I don't know if the rez is working or not until the person gets up. Then i have to wait to for the heal to go though to get them backup to normal. It can be very frustrating when some one is yell for a heal and you can't help them fast enough.Hopefully more people will see this and bring it to the Dev's attention.

I think it was kallaswi, who mentioned weapon speed, I have notice that if I use a power hammer sliced for 3.9 speed and I clear the queue then heal the delay is a bit longer than when i used a 2.2 two handed curved sword. Its almost like the game thinks you are switching weapons when you heal. I wish the devs whould test changes like this for a longer period before they implemented them. Keep posting maybe someone will read this and check into it. If anyone is a TKA or a Rifleman it would be interesting to see how the delay effects you guys.

I'm a Fencer/Doc and I hunt with a Swordsbabe/Doc. We both PVP a lot and have macros to cure states and heal. We use the same macros, and they all start with /ui action clearCombatQueue.

In PVP the Swordsbabe has noticed numerous times when her heals or cures weren't firing. The combat queue was clear, there was nothing listed on it, it just ... wasn't happening.

Personally I haven't found this, and I can cure states and DOTs about as fast as they can be put on me, and keep fighting. I don't know what it is, but there's something going on.

count me in... i notice a good 7 second delay before my heals kick in now.

Ranged Heals work fine on other targets, it's just when i use my heal macro on myself that is very very slow.

It is relative to the speed of the weapon im holding... i can confirm that

Think you got it right... Might be the problem, the game thinks we change weapons.

On a side note, I haven't noticed any delay myself, and that's with novice swordsman for speed /shrug.
