AFK Doc buff macro issue

[DackalRigan]

Hello! I tried setting up the macro as described in the how-to guide and I'm not sure if I did it wrong or some mechanic of the game has changed.

There was a post in the Doc prof thread that provided this information:

/healenhance action; - Tell me target must be a player or a creature pet in order to apply enhancement
/healenhance quickness; -Works fine
/healenhance stamina; -Works fine
/healenhance strength; -Works fine
/healenhance constitution; -Works fine
/healenhance health; - Tell me target must be a player or a creature pet in order to apply enhancement

I found that others including myself encountered the same problem.

Even when I try to use the command outside the macro, it still doesn't work.

I see many other docs running a macro, so I'm sure it's something on my part, but for the life I can't seem to figure it out.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

seems like its a strait up targeting issue. you can possibly bypass the situation by adding in another /target command to the macro before the health and the action commands and see if that fixes it.

I've tried that by targeting a nearby chair, then the subject. Still no joy.

I even manually entered /healenhance action, then entered the target name as well as having them targeted.

The only way I've been able to apply the two wonky buffs are to either apply them from the inventory or from the tool bar.

This happened to me this last weekend. It was health and constitution. I think its a lag thing. I logged the doctor off for the night (went to bed). The next morning everything was working fine again. This last weekend is the only time ive encountered this so far.

I'm having this issue now as well. Manually targeting the player with no macros running and typing healenhance action still returns the same error. Is leaving the account offline the only discovered solution still?

I've been having this problem for at least a few weeks now, and the only way I've gotten around it is to use /uiActionToolbarSlot (with your buff packs in your toolbar) instead of using /healenhance. I've spoken to several doctors who report the exact same issue - /healenhance returns the "target must be a player..." message for Health and Action specifically. In my experience, the problem persists across different buffpacks from different manufacturers.

My best advice is to point your macro at a toolbar slot. I realize that's extremely inconvenient for fire-and-forget macro docs, but I'm not aware of any other fix.

Thanks for the info! I'll give it a go.

Has anyone found a way around this yet? I am having the same issues but with all buffs not just a couple.
