Help me understand Combat Bandage

[DisbeAsos]

In all my years ive never used combat bandage and dont quite understand it, any help here? Ive got a lvl 20 SK so drop a lifetap between swings with my 2hander...

/target playername
/pause 1
/doability # (wherever bind wound is on the selection menu)
/stand

Target the mob again and turn on attack (or hit escape and wait for it to hit you to retarget). There are modifications on the same principle. I’ve just always done a simple setup like the above.

Tabbing back to the same mob seems a crap shoot to (imho) its best to stagger them so you can click the npc again manually.

I’ve only done it for a warrior so no clue if you can figure out a way to weave in taps.

does standing and auto attacking again not cancel the bind wound?

Yes, it does not cancel the bind wound. :) Try it!!

[DisbeAsos]

Interesting... Is the hotkey Snaggles posted the best way to do it or are there other methods i should try? Will casting stop the BW? Can i combat bandage + lifetap at the same time between 2h swings?

[Videri]

I don’t know. Perhaps others know. Try it!

One thing to note here is that you can't move while doing it. If a mob pushes you, or you walk at all, it will interrupt. It's best to do with your back to a wall, or even better, a corner.

As for spells while doing it, I have never tried. Let us know if you find out!

[Snaggles]

Oh, there are other methods and I doubt mine is the best :). That’s just a nuts & bolts version that works and is more or less what most people use. I find making a macro too clever leaves it prone to fail or at least being too specific.

Good advice on finding a wall or corner. A big deal in the lower levels. My warrior in the 50’s seemed to get interrupted less often but I still did this when things got hairy.

[Wallicker]

Casting will interrupt it unfortunately iirc. Definitely still very useful as mana isn’t easy to come by as a sk

[Robersonroger38]

I like this one never gets glitchy or anything, just retarget mob

/target player name
/attack off
/do bindwound
/stand

Best I’ve found so far, put your back against wall and your good.

Awesome, thanks guys, ill be testing this out as im leveling my SK!

/pause 1, /target "yourname"
/pause 1, /doability 1 (note: this is the second tab on actions window)
/pause 1, /stand
/pause 1, /target a
/attack on

Works through being stunned and almost everything starts with "a mob type". Cant take credit, got it off these boards years ago. The pauses are to account for connection (my ping is 40) so the client is forced to count the steps and only time it isn't amazing is when fighting giant groups (selects the closest) or fighting over a corpse if the corpse is closer then the mobs. Other the that, it's one click done

For what it's worth, none of this is classic at all. Taking melee damage should interrupt the bind wound. Thorough evidence was posted in bugs before green launched, but nothing was done about it.

There is underlining theme with all the non-classic "bugs" but I dont want to get banned

State your opinions in RnF sir and don’t use real Names and you’ll be safe!

Spells like the monk epic or SK lifetap will cancel your bindwound. You'll need to do that before you start binding.
