Petless Medic Build

[Desko]

Oh yeah, I looked at all those artifacts awhile back when I was working on the wiki. That Sphere of Invulnerability looked kind of like the Portable Shield thing I suggested awhile back, except based on Adrenaline instead of a time limit. Would be pretty cool.

Wail the new artifacts look good I just hope Wraith and Bio have a chance to look at it and do something with it. I think the ones for medic would do alot to bring balance for the medic class.

First off, Taz, I think you are missing the big picture. If everyone on this server were to become a weapon master or adren master... Don't you think something would be missing out of that picture? Don't you think there would be a lil bit of an over crowding? I mean, you can see that now. I see probably at max 2 medic in a 20 player game these days. Medics are under powered and it's a fact. Next time, take a look and see and just think about that lil idea in your head before you post something.

Redeemer, you brought up one of the best ideas I think a medic could ask for. I like healing my fellow players when they need it, but it's a hassel sometimes because you "DO" want a chance to be able to kill. That healing sphere would be awesome to have because then I could kill and heal at the same time. It kind of reminds me of Halo 3's new healing item or Freon's partner thawing in TAM. And if you get a lil xp while healing like that. I might finally buy the experience healing. Right now, it's a huge waste of my stats. If I could walk by you and heal you at the same time, that would be awesome and really bring out something special in a medic character.

Finally, Wraith, If you are reading this, I hope you are taking a few of these things into consideration. I'm sure no one will have a problem with this new healing sphere. I mean, who can complain when they are getting healed after getting hurt? Should be no one I hope. So with that in mind, I think it really would help the medic character out because I know some people get annoyed when a medic doesn't heal them with their gun. I don't think it's the medic's fault. I mean, sometimes I don't hear them, or other times you ARE trying to kill as well. Also, a medic should be a low level player's best freind, and if we could get that new feature in the game I'm sure it will help us all.

Also, one more thing I would like to say because I saw something about balance of the classes and how medics can summon monsters, heal themselves, and carry and infi weapon at all time. So they are power houses as well or even better off. Hmmm...

First, they posted stats on the power levels of a medic gun down there somewhere. Does that seem as strong as lets say, your vorp shock +11 vs my medic shock gun? Or your rage mp5 +11 vs my medic mp5? Before you say, "Why don't you carry a vorp shock +11 or a rage mp5 +11." Keep in mind that I'm a medic character. I don't have resupply. 10 seconds of nonstop fire will vaporize all my ammo. So yeah... On to the next thing.

Healing Weapons. Everyone can get it. Also, with other classes (Adren master and weapon master) you have resupply. With that being said, not much of a need for a medic character by your side eh? Unless you just gotta have that last few block of your HP showing. Also, vamp, works the same way but only better. So it kind makes me laugh when a weapons master with a huge vamp level screams, "HELP!!!" And they have 40 points off their 700 hp. I'm serious, I see it all the time.

Summoning Charm. Everyone can get it. Meaning, everyone can have a monster. Yay!!! Only thing is, it's easier to pick up a summoning charm then spending almost all your stat points in order to summon anything. These are the hardship of being a medic monster master. So for anyone who says, "Well you guys can summon monster." Well buddy, you can too. Only we have to spend so much of our stat points to get them. That's alotta hard work using only a healing infi mp5 +0. You just have to find a lil charm and spend a lil adren.

Infi Weapons. I don't see how anyone can really complain about a medic carrying a infinite weapon. Hello? You have resupply level 3 for ALL your weapons. Common... If you run out of shock, switch to your mp5. Run out of mp5, switch back to your shock. It's full of ammo again. And you have a special ability for ALL those weapons. We... Do not. It heals US and YOU. YAY!!! Lets throw a party!!!

I posted this not to start a war POST, but to show people who think medics have it made. We really don't. Yeah, our medic guns heal us, and our advanced damage bonus protects us. But one hit from any lucy fire or rock and we're just the same as any of you. Even worse because we can't globe, or use vamp when the nasty raptors bite our butts. I also don't think many people know that we can't heal ourselves as fast as we can heal others. Nope... It takes us wayyy longer. We heal you in a matter of seconds all the way. We heal ourselves in lil blocks.

yes but oure pets are smarter, thougher and we can control wich one we want! wave too early to bring out titan ? go for skaarj, behemoth or elite merc!

Reading Nammy replies, I would like to add in my opinion too. Sometime or rather, most of the time. I read the spamming texts of help, medic.

So, i thought to myself while im out somewhere trying to get sprees... Are they really in life danger? Or are they just hurt alittle bit... Where are they right now...

Then i said to myself, they should be in life danger. So i drop my killing and search for them... (Depend on map)

Also, when I in, i would press L to see which level, and could take notice of what health do they have. So i know whether they have the dr, level and vamp to survive on which waves. I would do that too whenever i see new names...

Next, sometime i was then blame for not healing them when they are out. Sometime i was alittle too slow, sometime the monster was infront of my firing, sometime the monster damage are fast and deadly before my healing could recover them...

And some of the high level players, not those few who on this forums. Which i had met in game when i was low levels, one by one, they playing lesser and lesser, or even switch class in another name. :)

Finally, after so many times. I thought again, it just a game. Don't need to be kind and serious. I alway try to keep these in mind, don't be angry with players. And don't blame them.

Players have feeling and emotion, some of them come to relax, some come in to avoid being troubled... Thus, gaming keep their stress level down.

Hehe, it does affect my mood of gaming still, LOL.

Unreality, Adren Masters and Weapons Masters can control what they summon on the summoning charm. It is based off of how much adren you have. You just got to be good at when you press the "U" key for your summoning. When I'm my adren master I always summon queens because I know the amount of adren it takes. And tougher and smarter is not true. The monster you summon from a summoning charm is based off of your level and stats. And I never summon a titan. I find Behemonts are so much better.

Haha, Hamburger, great point. We have maybe 2 medics in a game at max sometimes. Sometimes I'm the only one and someone screams, "MEDIC!!!" I'm like... Dude... Where are you? Are you clear across the other side of the map? Are you in the lil hidey holes? So I look around my area searching for them. No one by the name of "whatever" was in sight. So then they die and say, "Man, the medics in this game sucks" Wait... I'm the only medic in the game. I just looked for them and they are no where. Hmmm... I find those lil things kind of... IDK, stupid and selfish? That's probably the nicest words I can put for that.

Also, during big waves where there are crazy titans and things out there and I just ghosted and someone calls for a medic and they are clear across the level. Chances are, I'm not gonna risk it and travel across the level to heal them unless I know them, or they are really low level. And when Lucy's out, they can forget it. Hide in a safe spot and shoot from there because I'm trying to kill Lucy. Just like any other player is. What's worse, don't use a rage weapon and expect me to go across the level to save you after your health bar diminishes. One time I was running across the level to heal someone and Kronos tells the person to not use rage if they don't want their health bar to go down. I just stopped in my track and went back to where I was. If they were amatures about using weapons I would understand but they are high level players that should know. No names, but we know who it is. When I'm an adren master and I use rage. I tell medics to don't worry about healing me because I'm using rage on myself and they are not going to get any xp healing from that. Most know me and are still nice enough to heal me and I thank those guys alot.

Most high level players are good about that. Some don't even call for a medic even when they have half of their health and I really like that. It just shows they aren't afraid to die once in a while. I mean, it's a game. You can die and still be ok in real life. Right? I hope so... When I'm my medic character, I try to memorize everyone's normal health bar and heal those I run across that look a lil off. But in a big map with a full server, I try to fight as well.

So show a medic some luv once in a while. We will heal anyone if they REALLY need it. Just tell us WHERE you are. Don't spam the MEDIC text because that doesn't really help. And even better, come to us if you need a heal. I mean, it does kind of get hard to find someone in a pack of raptors or cramped hidey hole. :-)
