New Medic Merc idea


(ZombieVirus) #1

Ok, so i was playing Dirty Bomb and going over the Medics, and i got the idea for a medic, a Medic that can heal at least 1 or more players at a time by following them and keeping a heal beam on them (yes i know this might be a bit copying from TF2, but depending on how you flesh out this character, he/she could be complexity different) The healing would have to be a bit weak, for balance reasons, and the medic him/her self would have to be with weak health or they would become to OP and be the next “Game breaking merc”. Also for their weapons, instead of a SMG or Shotgun, maybe something special, with long rage more preferred. And for secondary, maybe something that can hold its own in a fight, but still seen as weak (basically a pistol) (and before you say it, yes, this sounds like a Medic from TF2 with Crusader crossbow, but think it through) This character can change gameplay for better, or the worse, please consider my idea, and for all those players out their that prefer Aura and Phoenix, i have nothing against those two Medics, in my opinion, they both are really good, but Aura is more of a defender, and Phoenix, a attacker, so maybe a medic that does both could be in the mix.

Please take time to check out my New Merc idea, its awesome!

I had an idea for a medic that could plant a device on teammates that they can then trigger to heal when needed, like sticky medic bombs. This would require the medic to be close an keep an eye out on their target/ targets. Same concept as yours (dedicated pocket medi) but less tf2-y xD

I like your idea maybe a bit better, but once again, the healing would need to be weak, and the medic easily killed.

The worry of a pocket-medic in this game is fine for competitive. In pubs, however a team of 2 players speaking through mumble with each other would become immensely difficult to kill. Against an uncoordinated team, a pocket-rhino could carry. (Medic chaining would be very irritating as well: literally being a chain of medics.)

Yeah i could see that happening.
