Your opinion on "Combat Medics"

[vealck]

Only failed on me once, where a husk fired JUST as I was closing the door, meaning the husk rocket hit the door when it was at about 1% and broke it, leaving a very mad FP staring me in the face.

The same thing happened to me. I'm welding the doors quickly with trolololo face expression as raged FP approaches, then BLAM, doors are no more due to a fireball launched from 50 meters, and FP hugs me

I'm fine with combat medics (Comedics?) but they better prioritize -

1) Healing than fighting when the team needs some serious healing rather than trying to shoot a clot unless said clot is interfering with your healing duties.

2) Taking a hit for the team when a raging FP/SC comes in because you have better armor than the rest of the team.


And they should learn to preserve their armor and not tank unnecessarily. Yes, I'm impressed you can take down a FP and SC with a LAR. No, you make yourself look like an idiot when you have to tank them (and waste precious armor points) while reloading your LAR.

Oh and their loadouts. If you want to use a flamethrower go as a firebug. Not a medic. M32? Fine by me if you're planning to use it on someone who is trapped by clots/crawlers/stalkers/gorefasts (assuming he is still alive by then). Just don't create a smokescreen for the ZEDS when the demo is blasting the FP to kingdom come.
