I was PvPing earlier tonight and I was forced dizzy and kneeling. Then I figured I was screwed, point blank, kneeling with a DXR6b. But by accident I pressed Mind Poison and I suddnely stood up and threw the poison, I did not fall because I was dizzy. It happened again later in the same match. I just pressed Health Poison and suddenly I stood up.
Can anyone else test this, it might of been because I was lagging really badly. If this works it needs to be fixed, unless it was meant as intended.

You can throw a stim or poison from kneeling or sitting and stand up 100% of the time. Please S the FU, this is one of the remaining joys of the combat medic profession.
edit: for clarification, you stay dizzy. You can not throw anything while KDed, either.

Basiclly this works while kneeling, not while KDed, so it has limited usefulness.
The game doesn't consider it a "voluntary" posture change so it doesn't trigger the dizzy.

lol like you just did? it doesn't break dizzy it's just more of the CM foolish rooting animation. What are you worried about? Once the CM tosses the poison, he is still dizzy AND stuck there while the lovely animation completes. You have plenty of time to change his posture again to get him on the ground. The CM will not be able to kneel without risking a KD and can't apply a dizzy state pack for 4 seconds (that's if the CM is a Doc as well).

Actually it's a bug thathas to do with the animation. Healbleed does the same thing.

Theres a command called /healbleed? Is that medic, CM, or doctor skill? First I've heard of that.

If you wanted to get technical it's /firstaid, but of course you knew that already didn't you?

Yeah I know /firstaid. When he said healbleed like as it was a skill it threw me off. I didn't know /firstaid stood you back up when you used it either. Guess we learn something new every day.
