Was trying to get a bleed a,mcro together, so I would be able to stop having tot arget myself, firstaid, and then retarget the right mob. I have most of it, but I'm stuck on the last part.


/ui action clearCombatQueue;

/target kestrell;

/firstaid;

/ ?



I was looking for the command not to cycle outward, but to cycle to the previously targeted mob, because when you have a group of mobs, you never know whcih one you're going to get.


Any help would be great.


Thanks!

hmm, do you really need to target yourself to use firstaid?!? I never did and i use it constanlty when hunting nightsisters, without i stop targeting the elder i am trying to smash.


my macro is like this :


/ui action clearCombatQueue;

/firstaid;


and thats it.

Whenever I /firstaid without having myself (or having a mob targeted) it says I need to have a valid target to apply first aid. My current macro is to clear the combat queue, target myself, and first aid. After that I have to select what I want to start attacking again. With elders, this is a pain in the a$$.

all i can say isthat my bleed macro works excactly the same as my heal macro. I dont need to target myself in order to heal.


weird......

When I log back in today, I'll try just the clear combat queue and firstaid and see what happens. I went from the default firstaid (says need a valid target) to my macro where I target myself. Maybe clearing the combat queue somehow avoids the targeting issue.


I'll try this today and let you know.

i think you need a target - unless you can do '/firstaid self;' like you can with '/healdamage self;'

but i don't think you can retarget the last mob you were attacking through a slash command.

You can get pretty lucky with

/ui action cycleTargetOutward;

But it doesn't always retarget what you had targetted.

I've been told /ui action cycleLastTarget works, but it's next happened for me.


Personally, I've got my numpad keys set to select group members, and my numpad . set to healdamage, enter set to healstate, and + set to firstaid. All my macros are


/ui action clearCombatQueue;

/healX;

/pause 3 (to let the heal take effect)

/ui action cycleTargetOutward;

/attack


That seems to work well for me 90% of the time. That way I can heal anyone I need to, and still keep fighting....
