Combat bind wound shouldn't have been possible until at *least* Kunark, because the / commands for macros weren't in the client. There was no /sit, /doability, /pause etc.

You don't need to macro or type anything to do it, you can just do all that manually I did for a while, just target yourself, click bind wound, click stand, retarget mob, turn auto attack on and voila.

Bash and push from melee attacks can and will interupt the bind wound, so it's mostly useful soloing weak mobs for your level (low blues) who will miss a fair amount, if the mob quad or is hasted you will get constantly interupted, same thing if you tank more than one mob.

Sure, but there's definitely a reason people weren't doing this in classic.

My suspicions: either combat swings didn't happen while binding wound and/or the sit button wouldn't end your crouch.

(I know because I was the guy who suggested to the dev coding this stuff, while beta testing Velious as a Guide, that we should be able to do %t for target macros when pulling mobs etc. He said it was a good idea and he'd implement it. And he did [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.])

Bash has nothing to do with the interrupts, it's the push. You just need to find a wall or corner to put your back against.

But bash actually create push that interupt you, at least on p99.

Is this even classic? I feel like bind wound always got interrupted by damage on classic (and still does on live iirc)

this is what I was thinking

Not quite in era, but from 2002:

One other thing: You can successfully bandage someone even while they are in melee! As long as they don't deliberately walk forward or backward during your bandage, you'll be successful.

However this is someone being *bound*, not someone doing the binding. They are different.

It sounds like the type of thing that would be in classic haha

I admitedly am learning about it right now, but I have avoided bind wound like the plague.

I have found everything I avoided like the plague in classic everquests, is exploitable and turns out is the most powerful feature in the game.

I avoided learning how recharging items worked on live, because it was so insanely complicated sounding to my stupid 12 year old ears.

Same with like, spell slot 1 and instant clicky spell refreshes!

I never knew about that until someone blabbed the secret strats of the alpha gamers on p99!
