Cheal Rot /pause

[STORRIDGE]

whats the /pause (timer) for use in a cheal rot?

I mean, if I want a 2 second delay between my cast and the grp/channel
message for next healer, do I use...?

/pause 2

/pause 20

And is there a basic formula for any amount of pause time?

Thanks

Ask the lead cleric :-) They always say "ok, cheal rotation
is x y z and /pause 30"

2 seconds is /pause 20

The formula is 10x the number of seconds you wanted to pause

However there's often system lag of a couple tenths of a second, so at
very low numbers you can get some funny results, not so much with a
simple rotation key, but if, for example, you were trying to build a key
to cast several spells in a row, the minimum pause that you have to put
between them will not be what you'd expect, nor will just copying
someone else's pause length necessarily work for you, you have to
experiment to discover what works on your system.

So a pause of a 1 minute is /pause 600

a pause of 45 seconds is /pause 450?

Thanks

Yes and yes. Note that there's an upper limit, which I think may be 600,
i.e. one minute. You can of course put more than one /pause in a row, but
there's a limit to how much you can fit in one hotkey. You can include one
/pause along with another command on a single line, but not two /pauses.

Fine point: If you include a /pause on the same line as another command,
the /pause is written first, then a comma before the second command, but
the pause actually happens AFTER the other command.
