Ok, so im going alright in PVP, the only times i have died in the last week have been due to dizzy -and i swear, its the most frustating thing in the game! ur so dizzy you fall down, ur so dizzy u fall down while ur enemies group around and start thumping into you while u can do **edit**!
Ive been spending a lot of foods that protect against KD / Dizzy but they dont provide much relief.
My question, how do i stopbeing dizzy
I know doc's can heal it, but they can't heal it while they are knocked down (ie dizzy + knockdown hit) so its kinda pointless against a dizzy spammer in pvp.
I know doc's can heal it, but they can't heal it while they are knocked down (ie dizzy + knockdown hit) so its kinda pointless against a dizzy spammer in pvp.So im thinking prevention is better than cure - so looking at either TKA or fencer now to compliment my rifleman. Does the combat equilibrium help much in dizzy encounters or just boosting melee defence as high as possible ? Ideas and opinions really appreciated!
Thanks guys!

I guesssome concerns i have are ;
Does melee defence stop specials - like knockdown / dizzy attacks ?
Does combat equilibrium work with a rifle equipped.

Doctors can cure dizzy while kd. With a stand, dizzy cure macro. It'll cure when partialy standing

Thanks screamin for your reply. I have been tweaking my stand cure dizzy macro but then they spam it on my again, i get knocked down and 'u cant do that for another 10 seconds' msg, even with the food reducing recovery time it still takes a while...its so annoying!
It would be nice if i could block most of the dizzy attacks in the 1st place, but maybe im dreaming

I don't like DizzyKD unless I am doing it hah. I am a Master Rifle/TKA/Brawler with some scout and the only way I can beat my friend whose a jedi is by keeping him dizzy kded. Although when I get dizzy kd it sucks.

To PvP as a pure rifleman you can either compliment it with doctor (master doctor or doctor 4-0-3-0/fencer 4-0-0-0) or the defences from pistoler, tka and fencer.
Getting your ranged and melee defence as close to the 125 cap as possible makes a big difference.
I PvP with master rifleman/swordsman/tka 4-0-0-4, I have very low def vs kd and def vs dizzy so i know what you mean. Thaklito doesn't seem to work that well and uses up valuable stomach space.

No it doesn't. Combat Equilibrium only works with melee weapons.
You can still attack while suffering a KD/Dizzy. If you try to stand you will stand before flopping back over. If you keep hitting stand and keep spamming an attack, it will go off in that time between standing up and flopping back over. Not much use but you can land a couple hits on the enemy and if they are already low you could drop them and finish them off with SniperShot. Even as you flop around.
DK and Dizzy defense are of limited value since the enemy will just spam the specials til they stick and it will quickly overcome your defense vs those.

Like Jedi's care about being KD/Dizzy. They can fully heal themselves over and over and over..... while knocked the **edit** out. The whole time their lackies are beating the crap out of you.

Group with a squad leader and they can use the /formUp command to clear dizzy/stun from everyone in the group.

oh yeah, and watch out for dizzy/posture change. Best thing to do then is stay kneeling.

I have the same problem as you, Dizzy/KD is basically the one thing that kills me, even CM's aren't that big of a problem to me anymore.
I have some +102 KD food, and it seems to do didly squat for me /shrug, wish I knew why.

Even with very good thaktillo, there is still a 10% chance that the knockdown will suceed.
And a tip for anyone that doesn't know, to recover from a knockdown/dizzy, simply press stand slowly and repeat until you stand, do not spam it, spamming stand will only make things worse.
