Game Mechanics: Evidence that bind wound shouldn't be possible while being attacked

[Dolalin]

This thread is for evidence I've found that you could not Bind Wound while in combat (this is different from *someone else* binding you while *you* are in combat, which I have seen evidence for).

Bind wound is the most useless skill in the game. To use bind wound I have to be in a spot were there is nothing to attack me. That IS NOT A HELP.

cant bind wound in a fight but atleast rest of the group dont
have to keep wasting mana and waiting for me to tick 1 or 2hp at a slow rate

I am unsure of the exact mechanism of failure, though a high susceptibility to mob push would make sense ("You have moved and your attempt to bandage has failed").

Why? Because of this post. Having DA up meant you were immune to mob push, so it would make sense that your attempt succeeded:

What i do with GH is use it in conjunction with Divine Aura. First cast GH on your tank. Then let all the mobs agro onto you. When you reach about 60% health, start casting Divine Aura, and by the time you are at about 30-40% health Divine Aura should cast by then. During the invincibler period the mobs will often times try to still attack you, but it doesn't matter so begin to Bind Wound which should be at about 120-130 by the time you have GH, so with the 18 sec invulnerability you can Bind about 2 times adding 60 hp, and by then the tank would have sufficient time to taunt the other mobs off you. Works for me at least

Though it could have also been triggered by mob bashes etc. Can't rule that out.

Lastly, I am aware that absence of evidence isn't evidence of absence, but the fact that being able to bind wound while swinging melee weapons isn't talked about *anywhere* in-era that I have seen leads me to believe that being able to bind wounds while being hit/attacking is a dubious feature on P99.
