Thread: How is it possible to master doc?
pre cu you just heal macro then rez macro when you had the ability heh
There is a bad side to this technique. It tears through armor rather quickly. But I find with out the armor I'm in greater risk of being overwelmed and incapped if a second or third mob aggrro while I'm kiting the first MOB.

ok. seems that many people are missing the key factor in my dilema.
I have ZERO combat skills. do defenses whatsoever. not even novice brawler or novice marksman so when i get in range and heal someone... I am toast. There are two reasons I have problems. the first is obviously lack of defense (or offense for that matter) skills. the second is because the hate system is borked.
example of current hate system.
tank1 pulls agro on lair and attacks one bol for 200damage while the other 2 bol beat up on him. Tank1 has just gerated 200 points worth of hate because of that 200 damage however he has only generated hate with the specific bol he is hitting. I step in and heal tank1 for 199 points of damage. I gain 199 points of hate with every mob that currently has agro on tank1. so although bol 1 is still attacking tank1 who has 1 more point of hate, both bol 2 and bol 3 are now attacking me. because i have 199 points of hate on both. with no defense Im dead very very very soon.
This is my dilema. I want to hear from a doctor who has mastered doctor without using respec since the cu AND who had no other combat skills at all when doing so.
please help

This is a simple case of Hate management.
1. Let the damage dealer build up Hate. In your example, of multi mobs, find a tank that will be using an area attack so that they are damaging all the agroed mobs.
2. Heal them with your lowest heal at the last moment possible before the creature(s) die.
3. Heal them when they have very little damage done to them. Watch their health bar and the second it turns light heal it. Then stop healing until the mob is dead.
In the case of doc b. jab is very good for this since it is a 1 time heal (unlike b. infusion) and as a n. doc it is low power.
4. Dont go up the healing line until the end. This will keeps your heals low.
Why not mix in combat and healing xp? Sooner or later you will need to pick up some combat.

I recommend trying to find a group with an MDoc or MCM. Not only will you be able to get on-the-spot training and res'ing but it's really quite refreshing to have someone else in the group who can heal. Last but not least,do get yourself some battle armour. It really does make a difference.

i remastered doc as follow, get in a group, pick the player who is taking the most damage, nov tka in my group, /follow them, and target them and heal away, i got surprisisingly fast experience.
or way 2
have your group set up a firing line , you stand behid them and click on their group names, this is even better, but they have to be still so you can keep healing them
you basically have to be grouped and be underfire to heal now. anyhow thats how i did it, recorrect me if i was wrong about anything, but thats how i did it.
