Couldn't make stun, int or blind heal state work......unless I changed them to blinded, intimidated or stunned.

Nice little trick here to make this very simple.
Find the Elder spawn, target the elder from about 90m or so , then call a pet (any pet with attack command will do) and send the pet to attack the elder. She will kill the pet then agro the owner, and leave her mates behind. doing this and leaving all the others alone in the spawn will also let you get lots of elders one after another, had over 20 out from one spawn before.
After killing the elder, put the pet away, recall and your good to go again.

great tip...
in fact I'll be trying that after work...
now about Mobs...is it better to use spinattack2?...or should I use a different area attack?

Mobs - yeah spin attack 2 is your best bet imo, since its the highest dps area attack we have and since the other are unlikey to stick a dizzy or especially a posture down to a NS, go with Spin Attack 2; its kept me alive before in the middle of a swarm of 6-7 stalkers, that intimidate and warcry of course.

The pet trick works wonders, me and my buddy use that. Got 20 from one spawn last nightand left after the 20th so there could have been even more. As for macros i dont use any but the CoB one, i just find it more exciting doing it all manually.

I think that if you have a macro /healstate Self and all the apropriate medecine,it clears any state you have on ... if you are stunned and hit the macro, it clears stun, if you are blinded and hit the key , it clears blind, etc etc ...might saves some macro keys ...

Yeh i think your right. The only reason i keep them seperate is as MSwords/MDoc it seems quite often that a couple of states will stick at once, and the only one that is likely to leave instant death is a dizzy, since a kd/pd will really hurt. So i keep em seperate mainly to decide myself what order i heal them in. Not sure how that would work out with just /healstate.
But apart from dizzy, i personally dont see the other states as a massiv prob, certainly none of them have ever led to me dying to an elder, althout obviously they may slow u down, cause a little more dmg.

Another usefull tip for those that are not docs and cant healstate dizzy is when you are on your back you can usually stand up for just long enough to get in a warcry before falling back down again, this eases the pain slightly

Your right. I'll try this out as well. i'm Master Swords/TKM/ medic 2/2/4/0 and i can heal 50-60% of my health with stims, so if i do happen to get dizzy/KD i have a macro i use,
/Stand;
/Healself;
It doesn't work 100% of the time, but does buy you time, and i supposed if you did the /stand-warcry first, you have time to heal your health and action without them attacking your mind.
