Adv Medics - Page 2

adv medics can be useful, just not very in my opinion. just about the only situation where I can see adv medics being worth bothering with is when coupled with engineering and playing back up life-monkey to a MAX defending a CC.

anybody else, why bother being rezed where you are? you rez with a hair of life and no armor, you still have only what ammo was left from before you died, and respawn times are so low (even with the repeated death 'punishments' *cough*) that you're better off respawning at a nearby tower or AMS.

I think i mentioned "at higher levels" Grunts that haven't reached at least a BR 17 really cant understand. You can't do without engi if you have rein. So Advmedic is not an option. But hte higher up should not be with out. And they aren't either just look at the leaderboard and check the certs of the best players in the game.

The only thing i will agree on is if you only solo, then it pointless. Other than that, if you don't understand the importance of rezing your all n00bs and the first thing you gotta NOT do when playing AdvMedic...??? is sucking.

MAXes have a 5 minute timer or some shit right? How many times have you seen maxes will absolutly not continue to cross a field cuz he got hurt and he's just sittin there waiting? I've seen droves off ppl go right by and promptly get killed when perhaps aiding the max and going over the hill together coulda kept you in the game.

So if if anyone else has a negative statment about AdvMedic. Don't post if you're not say br17 of higher and on voice comm.

Thanks

You are rezzed with full health. It is very helpful after breaking into a CC and you can rez folks up promptly to fight off attacks instead of having them spawn at a distant CC/Tower and then having to run past snipers and spitfires to get back in the base. Trust me, in a good outfit adv medics are VERY useful.

Yes I am in the same outfit as Gohan up above, we should be called the Medic Alliance or something 8) We often have 5 or more adv medics per squad, it is almost funny.

I was the only Adv. Medic in my squad.

I used to revive people with the medical applicator then restore thier armour as I also have engineering as a certification.

Invaluable in fights.

One last tip for thoughs who care. When performing a Rez. Fix the armor first. Then perfom your Rez. This will cut down on fatalities due to Rez ambushes. It's very likely another AdvMedic will do the actual Rez provided theres enough around. This will cut down the amount of time spent in the open and vulnerable.

I think it would be easy to code a warning in after you die that states an adv. medic is near. You have to click the ok and then you can choose to wait or respawn.

i know this'll sound crazy, but i'm an adv medic and i LOVE exactly how it is. if they want to spawn, their choice. plus, adv medic is just bad enough right now that they're rare. which makes me feel special.

Idea: instead of getting a large red cross on your chest and having people harass you sending /tell REVIVE ME YOU FUCKHEAD every 3 seconds. How about having an icon at the end of your name shaped like a cross, sort of like the darklight icon when you have darklight on. You can turn it on and off using an f key so if you feel like having people know you're an adv. medic and you're willing to revive them, put it on, but if you only revive squad members only put it off.
Just my 2 cents.
