Entertainer healing macro/guide : SWG Premium Discussions

While grinding Dancer i began using my skills as a master Combat Medic to apply mind disease to my alternate character and having him watch me and listen to my group. Of course, the healing xp came rolling in. Add to the leper colony another groupmate who had an alt, and a helpful guildmate and the xp is coming at 150-200+ per tick, which is extraordinary for entertainment healing, the slowest, boringest xp there is. This trick isnt new and its widely used in cornet and theed and other populated places. Sometimes as a combat medic with the apply disease skill groups will pay you to join them

SOE took it upon themselves to take away the ability to watch and listen while you entertain, so you have to rely on other players now, or members who will take a turn listening.

This macro chain will keep you applying disease while you are asleep, at work, whatever.

So, without further ado, here it is!

WHAT YOU WILL NEED

1-6 willing disease recipients (referred to from now on as bots)
1 crate of Mind Disease B's (mine were 31uses 103potency 98effect 714duration 44req skill)
Combat Medic 2/0/0/3 or higher
A large group for best xp (piece of cake in coronet)

You will need to input these macros (ctrl-A, new macro) and have disease packs out of the crate. Also, if you are a musician just replace all the /startdance's with /startmusic starwars1 (or whatever song.)

This is my normal performing macro. the reason it is redundantly long is that /startdance will screw up your disease application macros sometimes when they kick in.

NAME: Dancemacro

/join
/startdance Poplock2
/pause 1
/flourish 1
/flourish 2
/pause 7
/flourish 1
/flourish 2
/pause 7
/flourish 1
/flourish 2
/pause 7
/macro DanceMacro

Now, this is the macro that the bot must be running. You could insert the name of the person who has the highest wound healing ability in the group, for maximum xp per tick, but they will probably outheal the disease.

NAME: Helper

/duel Yourname
/peace
/watch Yourname
/listen Groupmate
/pause 30
/macro Helper

Ok, this is the macro for applying disease to the bot. you will need to make individual ones for each bot that you have listening.The pauses and the extra /stand are just lag buffers for me, you can probably chunk them if you like cleaner macros.

Name: DisBot1

/target Larry
/pause 1
/duel
/stand
/pause 1
/stand
/applydisease Larry
/pause 5
/endduel Larry

And this is the one that binds them. It applies the diseases when their duration runs out. The duration for the disease packs that i was using was 12 minutes, or 720 seconds. I wasnt completely sure if you could pause for large amounts of time like that, so i split it up. you could compact it if you wanted i'm sure.

Name: Disease

/macro DisBot1
/pause 20
/macro DisBot2
/pause 20
/macro DisBot3
/pause 20
/startdance Poplock2
/pause 200
/echo tick
/pause 200
/echo tock
/pause 200
/echo tick
/pause 60
/echo Start
/macro Disease

Now you're all set up. just run dancemacro, and disease and take a break. performing for long periods of time will require food, buffs, heals or nice stat migration, or you will keep stopping.
what i do is run a third macro:

NAME: healme
/stand
/stand
/healdamage self
/pause 240 (or however long it takes you to use up your action)
/macro healme
