Medic: Difference between revisions

Line 9:

The '''Medic''' is a [[Classes#Support|support class]], whose purpose is to provide continuous health and intermittent invulnerability to his team. He has 150 health and 107% speed, and heals himself by 6 health per second, reduced to 3 health per second when damaged within 10 seconds, as well as doubled regeneration when healing an injured teammate. His [[Medi Gun]] is his most iconic tool, providing a stream of healing and [[Overheal]] to teammates. Healing teammates will fill up an Ubercharge meter, which, when activated, will turn the Medics patient invincible for 8 seconds. Alternatively, other weapons such as the [[Kritzkrieg]] and [[Rejuvenator]] have alternative ubers, with the [[Kritzkrieg]] providing guaranteed crits to the Medics patient, and the [[Rejuvenator]] providing a stationary, AOE uber to surrounding teammates.

The rest of Medics toolkit consists of his [[Syringe Gun]] and [[melee weapons]], which he has three of: The [[Uberspritze]], the [[Bonesaw]], and the [[Shock Therapy]]. All of these weapons are notable for being weak in direct combat, with the [[Syringe Gun]] dealing a small amount of damage and knockback for each syringe. This weak combat ability, combined with his powerful healing, results in enemies targeting him as well as the players around him to prevent the Medics team from pushing. He is often focused by [[Sniper]], [[Spy]], and [[Scout]] as a result, as they are usually in the best position to kill him. To counter this, the Medic often maintains awareness and heals stronger combat classes, such as [[Heavy]], [[Demoman]], and [[Soldier]], to protect him, push forward, and deal damage.
