Heya:
Just thought I'd see what people are doing for combat support. Myself I carry all state effects stims, best poison cure C's and disease cure C's, stim E's, resuc. kits, buffs, and all six woundpacks.
Macros: I have a few macros on the toolbar and a button for /dump (kills all macros). The most important macro is the cure poison. It's in the second toolslot and loops itself. (/cure poison;/ui action toolbarSlot 01) Instead of naming the toolbar slot you can use the name of the macro, but I like to hear the button to know if the macro's running. When PvP is imminent I hit cure poison macro and target nothing. You get system spam butthe exact second the poison hits you, you're cured. The only poison in the game that takes two applications of a good poison cure C is Fire Spider poison. Then I select the teammembers nearest me and just have to pass within 6 meters of them and every 3 seconds another cure comes out. Remember it takes 8 seconds for the first poison tick which means you can clean yourself (essential, no selfish) and one other person before anyone in party takes hit. I have disease cure macro in toolbar slot 3, identical to poison cure. Disease takes 40 seconds to start ticking so get rid of poison first. I /dump the poison macro and switch to disease macro.
Armor macro: It's right next to the toolbar with my helmet. One button and all composite stun armor goes on or off and the doc dress comes on. Even if you are dkd (dizzy knockdown) the armor comes on and off instantly. So if TKA tef's you and dkd's you, you hit the armor button and laugh at him from behind 80% kinetic resist armor. The doc dress has medic mods. So if I am buffing someone I hit the macro, doc dress comes on, buffs are better. Also better to be in doc dress than underwear and doc dress one piece clothing.
Cure state macro. You can run this one too and loop it. But there are times you don't want to bother 3 second cooldown with curestate but cure whatever. Up to you but this leads to:
DKD defense macro. This one is for when you are DKD. If you ever get DKD best thing to do is just hit stand button once. There's a chance you'll get back up. Of course, if someone puts dizzy on you first, cure the dizzy before the KD comes. If you don't stand after the KD and can't get up, hit DKD macro. It's (/stand;/cure state dizzy)and looped. It basically spams stand and in one of those stand / flops you're gonna do you're cure state dizzy will fire. You'll fall back down but are no longer dizzy. If you are already standing and dizzy don't hit this, just do a cure state. The /stand will do a posture check even if you're standing while dizzy you'll flop. This macro usually clears the dizzy within 10 seconds but your toon does some embarrasing flip flops until the cure fires.
Drag macro - this is another one that loops. Just grab the teammateand hit it and run. It will also almost guarantee a win indoctor soccer, where two docs on the same team fight over their hapless incapped teammate.
Dead teammates - when someone's dead but the situation's calm enough to revive them you drag them to cover, and either drop a camp (keep them in crates) or pop a droid, or both. Resuc. immediately followed by a stim-e, immediately followed by health and action first, then secondaries. A good doc can have a player revived and completely rebuffed in 90 seconds.
Minefields - you can empty enemy minefields if you're armored, just run around the minefield and spam your stim-e's.
Anyway, anyone else got some stuff to throw in?

Trying the dizzy/kd one, I put the /stand;/cure state dizzy; and it gives me a "no valid medicine found." Granted I am trying it when I'm not dizzy, so that could be why, but if not, I'd like to know what it is. I just want to make sure I have the macro right

For the curestate packs to work, they have to be in your INVENTORY. Not in a backpack.
