You are relying on people being close to you which alot of the time is just not the case and in situations where it is all it takes is a single moly or some other explosives to kill you all. Bunching up in this game is generally a bad idea. In the majority of situations, sawbonez is just superior.[/quote]
Phoenix’ full charged aura recharges 15 seconds. Each Sawbones’ med pack - 10 seconds. So if you have 3 players in range - it is 4 players getting heal incluuding you. For Sawbones it means you drop med pack to each of them and yourself. Even assuming you didn’t miss and nobody died in process, you still spent a bit more time and have to wait so your own medpack heals you.
If you are the only medic in team, you got to stay healthy. In this case you will always have a couple of people getting to you to get heal. In defence you can get 2-3 players in range of your ability, in attack you just need to folow the biggest group.
Phoenix has a self revive. Not gonna tell you how much it is usefull… especially if you are only medic in team or in execution game mode.
Yes Sawbones is more reliable and stronger medic. But Phoenix is best all around.
