Should medics have more health than others?

[[MtK]StenO]

To me, it makes sense if medics are slightly more durable than the others, in addition to the body armour boost they already get. Is this completely out of line?

Level 0: +5 health
Level 1: +10
Level 2: +15
Level 3: +20
Level 4: +25
Level 5: +30
Level 6: +35/+40

Or drop the level 0 bonus and make level 6 +30/+35. It's not that much more and I don't think it would help if the entire team went medic for the patriarch just to be able to take slightly more damage and have much less damage output.

I'm not feeling it, I watch my medic out tank the zerker, so I can't say he needs more health. for the Zerker? sounds great

im sick of everyone trying to make KF as easy as possible.

 

[BEEEEEES]

madness, I've tanked 2 FP's on 6-man hard for 20 seconds as my rank 5 medic (not even the uber 75% better armor yet). Hell no to medics getting more health.

Had I half the staying power of the medic as a berserker, I'd play zerker again.

they do have "more health" as they can take more damage than the other classes can. it's already in the game

"HI GUYS I'M TEH NUBS WOULD YOU PLZ GIVE ME MORE HEALTH I ALREADY HAS A TON OF ARMOR BUT I STILL SUCK TOO MUCH SO PL0X GIVE ME MORES KTHNXBAI"

no but seriously, medics are already the best tanks in the game.

medic works fine, just the heal system is screwed

Afx0r says this : " Medic works fine, just the heal system is screwed " I repost Because he was banned from this forum, well that`s it, cya!!

No. Jus No.

 

[thesmurf45]

Nah.
If anyones going to get extra health then it has to be the zerker.
As a lvl 5 zerker and lvl 6 medic I find it much easier to tank as the medic.
Just a little side note as a lvl 6 medic when you have full armor on suicidal you can stand on 3 live grenades and still have a round 20-40 armor left.

 

[Nanostrike]

So medic would have bonus speed, armor, AND health? Yeah, that's balanced...

 

[SMIFF]

i think i remember someone saying that health is related to speed, so if a level 6 medic has 140 health, and full armour, he will have more of a speed boost lol, thus making him invicible.

It was just a thought, thanks for the feedback

Lvl 6 Medic with katana already makes Berserker perk useless, even on suicidal. On normal or hard you have to really suck to get killed. I was pinned down for 12 seconds by 2 scrackes, 2 gorefasts and some 5 lesser zeds, and guess what... killed them all and still got about 40 health.

im with madhate696. the zerker, i thought, was ment to be the tank. and right now he really cant take much more dmg than any other class. if any one were to get the health boost make it the zerker.

 

[Marls]

Personally, I always thought the Beserkers should have the armor bonus and the medics the health resist. On the theory that health is more medical related and Armor is more Battle related.

But then comes the issue that Medic levels means cheaper armor price as they dont specialize in an attack type. Even so Medics should still get cheaper armor without it effecting too much.

But this is jsut mere opinion. The game makes does what it is, but its an option to think about.

 

[Azukki]

Nah, I like the whole idea of having super armor but being as squishy as anyone else when it fails. It's a unique gameplay aspect, even if it doesn't particularly fit the medic well.

Adding general extra health alongside faster self healing, better self healing, and super armor would be taking it way too far.

The only current problem with medics that I see is the rewards. Healing simply doesn't pay well enough, and your efforts aren't acknowledged by the kill count.

QFT.

It's possible to finish suicidal if you have a 4+ man team.

NO need to make things easier.

 

[omarfw]

why do people think medics suck just because they dont have a damage bonus? need i post the many scoreboard screenshots of my victory over countless SS kills-wise?

 

[-[SiN]-bswearer]

^ yes

btw, there is no individual "victory" in a co-op game like KF, which is why the score system needs tweeking or removal.
