How do you make a macro repeat one skill? When I put pet heal one after another and activate the macro, all I do is one pet heal and I stop.

    its not possible, u have to look at cooldown times. A healing macro could be: heal, venomous, heal, venomous, etc

    Indeed - the answer is that you can't.

    To chain heal, just hold down the heal key.

    I was hoping macros would cover that :(

    One more question: can you put a macro in a macro?

    Assign pet heal to F4. Find a nice heavy object, and put it on the F4 key.

    I believe that you can, or so I've been told.
    Don't stare at me like that, I just might like it.

    Wood toothpicks work good on many keyboards, but doing so and going afk is against the TOS. b:victory

    I personally am rather partial to F8. b:chuckle

    A travel-size pack of floss and an appropriately flat mp3 player (or a book, or phone, etc...) can make for a very nice weight as well, without disrupting any other keys.

    F6 FTW lol. Anyway, just wanted to chime in with my 2 cents...

    I don't use macros on my veno cuz of the problems getting cooldown times to line up well. For my cleric, archer, and wiz, and even my bm sometimes, macros are great, but with the veno and the barb, there's just too much situational stuff to really macro too much.

    ~EDIT~ When i'm spam healing my pet, i usually try to throw an ironwood scarab in every now and then to increase the damage my pet is doing. U gotta be careful when doing this, and learn to time it well, otherwise you'll end up with a dead pet and summer sprinting/holy pathing for your squishie little life.
