I was unable to get up using my /stand;/healstate self; macro when knocked down and dizzy (just got the 'you can't heal state while knocked down' message) - any thoughts? I'm a new doc so maybe i'm doing it wrong, or can we no longer heal state while standing and before we fall down? do i have to loop the macro to make it effective?
thanks

There are no majic /stand;/healstate macros that work 100% of the time. You have to remember what is happening. When you hit /stand you make and attempt to stand the program then does a check for dizzy. You are hopping to fit a /healstate inbetween this stand and the check.
Sometimes it will work and sometimes it will not. Lag may play a part in this, who knows.
Many people put a /healstate/stand/healstate with a 1 sec pause inbetween. This way you can use the same macro to heal the dizzy before you get KD'ed.

thanks for the responses, it's very appreciated. I'll play around with it more, I think I know what I need to get it working

Actually, since a patch or two ago this no longer works for me; even with the first /healstate included, hitting my macro button had the effect of knocking me down 100% of the time I used it. I'm not sure if it's just that lag has gotten increasingly worse, thereby "eating" the first heal, or whether there were some changes made to heals or postures in the combat queue.

The patch that made heals show up in the combat que also seemed to make it so that posture changes don't wait for the other actions in the que. That results in all the /stand commands in your macro getting exectuded before any of the /healstate commands. I've still been able to get myself up since the change, but with a much smaller success rate than before it.

This is why I always advocate not using macro's when PvPing. It'll get ya killed more often than not.
