i heal myself disease and poison first alltimes, and start curing others if still alive :-)

So disease then poison?

I always heal myself first, in the order of poison, then disease.

It takes about 10 seconds for the first poison tick to take effect.. and if you were hit with a Venom pack, there is a good chance your entire mind bar will be gone.. Disease is more like 30 seconds for the first tick, so you have quite a bit more time to take care of that one.

Yes, I always cure my own poison (because of the fast tick) then my own disease, then the closest group members to me.

i would sugest you heal yourself from poison first...ive had many battles where the poison kept on ticking and had me at one mind for over 5 min.....if you "**edit** the poison in the bud" you can worry about that disease later. As far as healing yourself or others first, you can healmore people when you dont have that poison keeping you at one mind =p

Always cure yourself first. Diseases take 40 seconds to tick, poisons only take 10, so cure the poisons first. Who to cure after yourself is a judgement call. I prefer to cure whoever has the best chance to take out the CM, then worry about the rest of the group after the CM is down. That means my group's CM (I should say our other CM, ) and a rifleman, if we have one in the group. Since I am a MCM on top of being a Master Doc, I'm pretty good at taking out other CMs. If I'm our best bet to incap the CM quickly Ijust keep myself cured and go on the offensive with my own poisons and diseases. It depends on who is in my group.

There are 2 very costly mistakes that you should avoid when facing a CM. The first is forgetting to keep yourself cured (you're no good if your mind is at 1). The second is trying to keep too many people cured at once. If your group is too big for you to cure by yourself, then you have to decide which fighters have top priority. Hopefully your group can take the CM down before a disease has blackened too many mind bars. It has been noted many times that AOE poisons and diseases cause the size of your group to work againts you. If you're the only doc in a large group, this can be true. Your best bet then is to concentrate on the 4 or 5 fighters you can keep cured and make sure they all target the CM. It's better to be down to 4 or 5 healthy fighters than to try to cure your entire group only to end up dead.

If you and your group havebeen poisoned and diseased by a CM with some nice poisons and diseases, and you are the lone doctor, would you heal yourself first so you can continue to heal people or would you heal the fighters? Would you heal the poison or the disease first? Since we doctors have only so much time to heal this stuff whats the priority?

Thanks

Since you cannot heal if you have no mind, are incapped, or are dead, healing yourself first is the highest priority. Get rid of poisons first, then disease. Heal yourself for damage if you are in danger. Otherwise, your next priority is to get rid of disease and poison from any Docs or other healers who can reduce your healing burden. Then start getting rid of disease and posion from other fighters. As mentioned in another post, you may want to have priorities set so that you are not trying to heal everyone, get incapped from mind, and heal no one.
