I guess it'd be faster but you'll develop better Medic habits by just playing the game. Staying near teammates, checking the scoreboard and their health bars for damage, constantly healing, maintaining your armor in case you need to block, using the LAR off-perk for additional fire support, practicing rapid headshots with the MP7/ MP5 to aid in trash clean-up, etc, etc, etc.

The end result is two lvl 6 scrubs. Leveling up without exploits is part of what makes the game fun, imo.

agreed, i've made it to lvl 5 whilst hardly playing the perk, just heal your teammates when they need it and you can usually rack up points fairly quickly.

You are all correct.
However, this was aimed more towards an impatient audience. Or someone who just doesn't want to level the traditional way. Have to admit though, this was a pretty good idea. When I saw these guys doing that, I was laughing at how simple it was, but effective at the same time. x)

This thread was severely unneeded as most of the users on the forum are aware of this method of leveling. Does it work? Yes. Does it make you a good medic just being level 6? No.

Your method isn't even that good. You could get it done twice as fast by just hitting the right cliff on mountainpass. That being said, why would you ever want to power-level any class, least of all medic. Monotony not withstanding, level is supposed to be a general meterstick of one's ability in the game and all grinding like that will do is, as sah put it, produce "two level 6 scrubs".

That and I think it's safe to say that at least 3/4 of the forum regs are lvl 6 already.

I logged onto my server once to see two people doing this, asked them to stop so we could play, I got something along the lines of "No leveling medic".

I logged in as admin and asked them once more, they ignored me and were promptly kicked.

It's one thing doing it in a private server, but a public one?

And yeah, woo, you get level6 medic, congrats. Lvl6 means diddly squat. Players know a dedicated medic when they play with one.

Im glad im not the only one who will not allow this on their servers. I kick for any type of cheating either to stay alive or leveling their perk. Two bans have been made to my custom server as they did this to get level 12 medic (480,000 points to rack for level 12 on it...). Cheating is cheating no matter what so people REALLY need to grow up.

Woah. Who would have thought to heal someone while they're taking damage?

Good to know power levelers are geniuses.

I don't get it, why would you choose to grind away at leveling up the medic perk. I'm nearly at level 5 and I've never played medic, but I've had a lot of fun getting there making sure my squad is still alive.

Last time I found someone leveling up support welding with one clot behind a door I just restarted the server. The game provides the ability to run your own server easily and be able to level up. So there's no excuse to do it on a public server. Although I don't mind someone grinding to leveling up the welding privately, because it's better than them welding every door in sight getting half the squad killed.

I have already posted a similar thing here on forums but i will repeat - a low level skilled gamer (with knowledge how KF works) is way better than a lvl6 noob that only has a hight level perk. PERIOD. Go power level You brain. Make your brain cells lvl6.

I don't understand - of all the perks, why would you powerlevel medic?

Maybe I'm making a generalisation here, but I'd assume that the kind of person who chooses to powerlevel is also the kind of person who values competition over cooperation, so why would you do it with medic?

Are you actually going to go out and heal people in Sui/HoE games now? I find it hard to believe.

WELL, seems like this was a bit unpopular here. If a mod or admin could lock/remove this thread, I think it would serve a better purpose of not wasting anyone elses' time watching that video, or even have to reply to this thread. ;b
I get it, you guys are pretty legit players.



.. but no need to be so mean. :'(

I can see why people would powerlevel a medic from lvl 5 to 6 since it takes 3 times the amount of healing points to do so, but most people here hit it on the nail. Powerleveling doesn't make you a better player; leveling through real gameplay experience is far more beneficial.

In terms of being a good medic, there are few things that I think are important:
- healing your teammates (being effective)
- prioritizing who to heal, when to heal (being efficient)
- acting as the tank of the team with raging FPs and SCs (utilizing that OP medic armor)
- being able to go solo when everyone else has died (individual player skill, effective weapon loadout)
