Here is what I want to do. Master doc/master dancer alt, Master musician in guild. Im tring to set up a buffing macro so the rest of my guild andI can have a auto dacer/musician buff bot.
My macro is somthing similar to this (im at work so i can't look at it)
/stopdance;
/pause 30;
/target self;
/pause 2; (for some reason it went too fast from time to time)
/ui action toolbarSlotxx; (use a tool bar so its easy to see how many buffs are left)
/target otherplayername;
/pause 16;
/ui action toolbarSlotxx; (i have also tried /healenhance and /healenhance quickness)
/startdance xxxxx;
/pause 11266;
/ui action toolbarSlot12 (loop)
Pretty simple but here is where the problem comes in, Even with the other player target'd it still reapplies the buff to me. I was thinking of changeing the order and buff the other player first will that work? Any ideas would be a great help.
Thanks

You may want to have a /target xxx in there with xxx being a piece of furniture to prevent you from buffing yourself. Check the Doc FAQ for my buffbot macro for an example.

I was reading that, Having never used the buff bot this brings in another question. When I run the macro it does target the other player. They are highlighed with the blue square and there name does appear in the target window. Do you see anything similar in the buff bot. The reason I ask is that im not doctor buffing anyone but the other entertainer and that is a known name.
Hey Im bored at work so might as well talk about it

Idk what to tell you other than change the order. Don't know why it's no working. I use two macros for buffing, one on a 2 sec pause and the other on a 18 sec pause. Both of these rely on my look-at target, which is what you are describing about the blue box, and both utilize packs placed on the toolbar, so idk.
sorry I can't help.

Yup, you got it Gelflor.
The /target xxx is just to give you an 'invalid' target such that you don't waste your buffs.
If you continue to have problems, PM me your macro and I'll be glad to take a look at it.

Everyone doing this should watch out soon with patch 9. They are making the /healdamage revert back to a heal self command. Do we know yet if this will also be true for everything, such as buffs? Or is this solely for damage.

I agree and that is the wierd part. I use a buff macro to buff others. I simply click on the buffee and hit the macro, and that does not ever buff me instead of the other person. I have never tried to "/targetxxx" and then try the buff macro. Does anyone?

Oops I just realized after hitting the submit button that the buff bot does. hmmm I guess im still confused. The way i read the buff bot macro you target another object to remove the last player from the target window. I will try to change the order and try to target another object tonight. Ill post results.

First off thanks for all the help.
Last night I changed the order and it did work. So if anyone ever wants to do something like this buff the other party first then buff your self. I let the macro run overnight and used up 8 buff packs, A total sucsess.
