I tried setting up a macro with bandage self, wait 8 seconds, then bandage self and wait again. I set up the macro to run ten times. When I have some bears hitting me and I run the macro, it only heals me once. It won't ever heal a second time. Anyone know how to macro healing? Would be nice to relax while watching the screen.

If you hit any other macro, consecrate for eg, you stop a previous macro from working.

I don't mean the previous macro is broken, just that you can only have one running at once.

Rather than use "bandage self" drop the bandages into a macro and then right click them and choose "self" so they have the blue edge. Then add a delay. I have posted a picture below to explain. This works fine to train healing etc. Is this what you are tying to do?

As Petra says you can't have a bandage macro running all the time in the background. That would be a little bit over powered. These features are avaible in naughty 3rd party apps though which I won't mention on here.

Just making sure you know this action exists.
When I wanted to train healing using a long bandage macro and a cloak of corruption I tried that "bandage self" option and had a similar problem to the OP. The only way I managed to get it going so I could leave it running for ages was set it the same as I did above then edit the macro in notepad to make it even longer.

Ahhh yes the bandage self doesnt work. I had to use bandage, wait for target, target self, wait 7 seconds, repeat.... thanks for the reply!

EDIT: I like your method of right clicking on the bandage better! Mine has too many steps to it.

Doesn't work? Not that I think it matters, but are your bandages in your main backpack? I've been using it for at least 4 years with no problems.
