Would doubt it.... but I'm a new doc.

I'm looking for a macro to buff people while I am there..... putting buffs in the toolbar and having the macro buff them so I don't forget stats or have to search inventory. But I need to know the pauses, etc...

i believe there is one that makes use of a house and setting a access fee to the house

Buff macro is simple to make. Well mines is. I just select the player i'm buffing and it the macro. You should have no fear in buffing yourself long as you don't hit the escape button while buffing the player or minimize your screen. If you must go to your desktop midway through a buff, don't do Ctrl+Esc, instead do Alt+Tab which will minize your screen and still keep your character in-game selected on the person your buffing. Hitting Ctrl+Esc will minimize your screen but your are also hitting the Esc key, which will de-select the player and you eat 10K worth of buffs (again) lol. My macro is simple. I fill my F5 to F10 bars with buff packs and my buffing macro in my F4 key. Macro goes as follows:

/ui action toolbarSlot04
/pause 16
/ui action toolbarSlot05
/pause 16
/ui action toolbarSlot06
/pause 16
/ui action toolbarSlot07
/pause 16
/ui action toolbarSlot08
/pause 16
/ui action toolbarSlot09
/pause 3
/say There you go, all set.
/pause 3
/say Next!

This macro is started by hitting the F4 key, which hits the F5 key, waits 16 seconds, hits the next key until it reaches F10, which is filled with the last buff pack. Like i said, pretty simple long as you refrane from hitting the esc key. Note: You can still have menues up like your inventory or d-pad screen and still hit the esc key to clear them with no fear in de-selected the player your buffing. But don't hit the esc key when you have no menues up and your just selected on the player or else you'll de-select and eat a buff or two.

Tip: If you want to be safe by not hitting your buff macro starter key, which in my example is the F4 key, and mistakenly start a buffing cycle, place this macro starter key in your secondary toolbar lots like F13 to F24. Then when you want to start a buff cycle, you must hit Shift+(macro starter key) to start the cycle. This protects you from hitting the key by accident. It is much harder to hit Shift+F16by accident than it is to hit F4.

here is a link i found on buff tobs as well

Be careful when buffing by macro NOT to target anything else during the buff cycle, or to un-target your patient. I've buffed myself or some random passerby more than once.

The pauses are variable though. 16 is pretty much the minimum for a master doc, but it will be longer for those who aren't master yet.

And on Dantooine during peak hours (at least before the new hardware, haven't tried it yet today) I use a different macro with pauses set to 25 seconds. Anything shorter and it sometimes skips one of the 6 enhancements.

That long pause macro also ends with:

/say There you go %NT. Please check to make sure I didn't miss any.

I have a macro for buffing when i am present that only takes up 2 tool bar slots.

Pick a slot and put the /healenhance icon from under the "ctrl A" menu.

then create a new macro:

/ui action toolbarSlotXX ( where xx = wherever the /healenhance icon is)

/pause 16

Copy this with whatever hot key combination you set for chat copy and then paste it 5 more times.

run your macro and there you go.

the /healenhance command with buff all six attributes in order as long as you have the 6 corresponding buff packs in your main inventory.

that is just what i do.

I know someone who has a "buffbot" set up, charges 6k at the door to the player city medcenter and then you just invite the doc to your group for a full set of buffs. can take up to 5 mins to get into group for buff at times. its a great service, and almost always on. Instant millionaire too. Buff packs are too expensive/valuable imho to set up a buff macro that does not charge at the door. too much room to be ripped off.

its much easier than that... never see the /enhanceheal command?

do this

/enhanceheal;

/pause 17;

and repeat that /enhanceheal part 6 times... this will automatically buff from top down if you have available packs in your inv.

it is a hassle, but here put the buffs in your tool bar, this only works if u know who ahead of time, the way to swithch peeps in between buffs is /target (their name) i dont know about all day afk though, i'm not that good lol

i thought it was /healenhance
