My wifey uses a macro key approach. I don't think it is something I could ever convert to, but if it works for you, more power to you.

>Hm, am I the only one who uses macros to heal anymore?

Nope, I still use macro's too, although I have a quick script I use to heal the fresh and scars from 1 body part at a time that is good for all the light scuffing stuff.
(ie. .takepart <person> left arm)

Lots of good ideas I've heard over the years to make that a little easier on me, but that's how I set myself up to heal way back when, and since it's not broke...:P

Although, I think I need to claim a few more keys for macros to take half, now that I can do that consistantly, it's a good thing to use.

I go to the Empath's guild. That always seems to work nicely.

I use custom made scripts too. I have 4 different ones (ext, extscar, int, int scar) that will take every wound in the corresponding category. Taking them that way helps make sure I don't overheal cause I can check my wounds after each step.
Also, I start taking internals first, that way if someone asks to keep a bleeder I don't have to tell them it's too late. And having separate scar scripts is nice if someone came in after departing and only has scars.

When in triage situation, I take the vitals and heal them on myself then run scripts for the rest.

I like Obseden's script, sounds like it'd be nice if someone only had one or two wounds. But if they only have a couple of wounds I stretch my fingers a bit and type it out manually. :)

Wow. You guys and your various scripts impress me.

Mine's simple. Just takes everything, and waits for "you touch" messaging before going onto the next.

Maybe I'll develop a few more, or maybe I'll just work on the combat script that wont' die.

Towint left staff a while ago, so while bits and pieces have been worked on, no one has been on it 100 percent since he's been gone (it's a very very large system). However, Dartenian and a few others are in the process of really examining a lot of these larger (and older systems), so I suspect more changes and updates will be coming down the pike.

My second character is an Empath, and I recently started playing her again after not paying much attention to her for several months. I am having trouble healing that I assume is the result of the recent changes to the concentration system.

I am circle 21, with 103 max concentration, 98 ranks in empathy, and relevant magic skills in the 80s-90s. Before my break, my links rarely broke, and my spells rarely back-fired unless I was working with a seriously injured patient. I assumed that I had finally grown out of routine link breaks and backfiring.

Now I find that my links frequently break on moderately wounded patients. My spells are backfiring more than usual, and my harnessed mana frequently dissipates, even when I am using low preps and low harnesses. I am not attempting to heal quickly. I feel like a baby Empath again.

Older Empaths I spoke with seem to be having similar problems. For example, manipulation no longer works properly. One "Battle Empath" said that she was in combat, and her concentration dropped so low that she could neither heal herself or gweth.

Is concentration supposed to work this way for Empaths? I never had these problems before.

You basically hit it on the button, Lorz.

Yes, I was being snarky.

lol i love that idea

an empath sneaks in from the west unnoticed by anyone

barb is talking to paladin about the latest wounds he's received from creatureA

an empath sneaks out of the room undetected

paladin asks what wounds barb is talking about

>>On a related note, it would be nice if TOUCH and TAKE (or TRANSFER) worked with the act-on-hidden-targets mechanics. Bonus points if they don't reveal the hidden person being healed, and the room messaging for injuries looking better should probably be suppressed in this case. It's a bit odd asking someone who just got clobbered by a creature to unhide so I can heal them, when in fact their unhiding puts them at greater risk.

That would be really great. Then even people with uber hiding could whisper to the Empath so the Empath gets the point effect and can heal them. I love it.
