I know this is a but old, but does/has anyone used this macro lately. I Recently set it up and made some modifications to suit me to this macro. Each time I set it up, the macro runs well fore several hours. However, every time I come back to the computer after a few hours AFK it has stopped working. All the steps seem to run fine. However, my macro just seems to ignore tells aft a few hours of the macro running.

If you paste the macro you are running, with your changes, I'd be happy to help you troubleshoot the issue.

Here are a few common problems:

You will periodically desync and stop responding, no matter what you're doing. How often does your macro die? I get anywhere from 3 to 23 hours out of my sampling, Ent, and Doc macros. It just depends on how busy the area is where you are buffing and also how busy the server is at the time. The number of macros running also has an effect on how long before you desync.

If you keep your game client open for long periods of time, you will lose toolbar functions. Hard logging will fix this. Items placed on the toolbar most commonly just stop working and won't be fixed until you completely close the game and restart a fresh client.

There is a bug that causes the buff commands to fail with the "target must be player..." message. Putting the buff stats in quotes has fixed this for me. /healEnhance "Health";

I can confirm that the macro works and the AFK doctors mostly all run some version of this macro. Tell us more about what is happening and how often and I'm sure we can figure it out.
