Well not to rain on your parade or not sure if you can't put them in but if you didn't put in the semi-colon's it will not work properly. As for the macro. it works correctly when its properly formatted. I tested my own on an overbuff and a reapply. the Null on the reapply is the only thing out of order. regardless if its used in a buffbot or not is irrelivent. the portion i see quoted above is the same i use and with the semi-colons placed correctly and at 8 seconds even, it works great. If you need help writing it correctly or have question send me a tell ingame i'll help ya.
don't require semi-colons if you star a new line. The majority of my shortmulti-line macros don't use semi-colons and they all work, all the time. Semi-colons are needed for you use the single line method for long macro types, in my experience anyways.

I noticed the same problem with my buff macro this morning. I use a similar macro using the healenhance stat format. I also keep my buffpacks on a toolbar so I can easily see when I run out of one. I just like using the macro so Idon't have to keep track of where I am. I am not a buffbot and do not sit in starports doing buff lines. I've been a master doc for over a year and much prefer healing in the field. I set up the macro months ago which also tells people, by name, that their buff is starting. I'm usually buffing groupmates before going out on a hunt whenthere's a lot going on. With the macro I get their attention so they're less likely to wander off and just have to hit one button and can continue getting ready or chatting with groupmates about the upcoming hunt. A quick glance at my spatial to doublecheck that all stats were buffed and they're all set.
The problem I had this morning was that on several people it skipped stamina and applied action twice. Seems like it would take a serious bug to apply the wrong stat when I'm using the specific command for each stat. Everyone I buffed was unbuffed as it was first thing this morning so it's not just a problem with overbuffing. I did rebuff myself as I was using bivoli which I hadn't bothered with earlier and when I overbuffed myselfI also got the message that I had no such stat to enhance or something to that effect. When I applied the buffs from the toolbar they worked just fine. The macro had worked fine earlier this morning when I buffed myself the first time.
The point of this thread is not whether or not there's a valid reason for using buff macros or how to make them work but why are they suddenly not working after they've been working just fine for months. I was just wondering if anyone else had this problem.

I wonder if it has something to do with the reports i am hearing of people being able to buff with no timers. I have done it myself. on occaision its like i'm using havla but with no timers period. you can buff all six stats in a row no timers involved. They could be related. Anyone else seeing this one?
