I'm just curious if the devs know about the strange delays when using /healdamage during combat? By this i mean that normally if you cast /healdamage it takes effect relatively quickly...within one second. But if you're in the middle of combat and you cast /healdamage, there is a delay anywhere from 3 to 20 seconds. Now a solution is to declare peace and cast healdamage and it reduces the delay, but this is just a hokey solution. Any better methods? Thanks.

This delay is because your heal actually queues up along with everything else you may have in the combat queue. If you read the Remaining issues thread above, you'll see a mention of displaying hte Heal in the combat queue, so you'll now actually know why you have that delay instead of just wondering why your heal isn't going off.

I've noticed this is caused by the speed of your weapon. The faster your weapon the quicker the peace out is cleared and you can heal. I discovered this upon buying a 2.5 dx2. I was shocked at the delaying of the clearout. It's more of a timing issue. Since when you clear or peace out you still go through that last "style"
