im impressed by combat bind wound

[Jimjam]

Another trick, if you have a heal breastplate (or any spell really), is you can click breastplate, click bind wound through the actions window, click stand through the actions window and then complete both bind wound and spell.

Note you have to start casting the spell before you start bind wound; the other way around and the bind wound won't complete.

/pause 2, /target "yourname"
/pause 2, /doability 1 (note: this is the second tab on actions window)
/pause 2, /stand
/pause 2, /target a (see note below)
/attack on

*if you’re fighting say “a hill giant” then the a works on line 3 of the macro. Otherwise you have to change it depending on what you’re fighting

Same when I saw it.

I actually cut my CBW macro off at the stand portion. I've had too many issues with /target a to make an automatic reestablishment of attacking go well. I just manually retarget and re-auto attack.

Also make sure to change the do ability to the right number in your action bar

By the way a quick way to max your BW skill is go to lavastorm by the gypsy merchant camp. There is a merchant there that sells bandages and just dip in and out of the lava.

Just don't do this while watching TV. I definitely didn't die on my rogue in lavastorm mountains at level 53. *cough*

Combat bind wound shouldn't have been possible until at *least* Kunark, because the / commands for macros weren't in the client. There was no /sit, /doability, /pause etc.

First mention I see of them is in the September 28, 2000 patch notes. It was around this time that they started enabling more client automation.

(I know because I was the guy who suggested to the dev coding this stuff, while beta testing Velious as a Guide, that we should be able to do %t for target macros when pulling mobs etc. He said it was a good idea and he'd implement it.

If that also spawned %O and %P and %S (objective, possessive, subjective pronouns) I'd like to personally thank you.

I had ~50 pull message macros on Live and 13 here on P99 (they're thematic so I make them as I think them up) that are all possible due to that.

Raids & XP groups are more fun when you don't always see the same pull message.

I think the dev's name was Rowyl but my memory is fuzzy now.

Yeah all that stuff went in around the same time. They tried it as @t first which was cumbersome, then switched it to %t some time after I chatted with him. We were both C programmers so it made a lot more sense to everyone I think to use that format.

I suppose I can only take partial credit on that basis... [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
