The weapon buff should be for soldier and the kelvar should be engineer's default

Who agrees?

And the soldier should still give out soome ammo with it.

Woa there, that would make the soldier the ultimate solo-class.

I do wish that engineers would be less selfish with their buff, especially provided that the buff lasts till you die. People automatically become more careful to preserve themselves.

Yep, what Tokamak said. You’re essentially trying to turn the soldier into a walking, independent death machine and eliminate the dependency on another class. This is exactly the reason why it’s the way it is right now :slight_smile: If you want extra damage, you need to see an engineer - you shouldn’t really be leaving home without one of those and a handy medic, anyhow.

The only way to push this even further into solo-land, would be requesting that the soldier also carry a nifty little self-heal pack in his pocket :slight_smile: You know, in case a medic isn’t around…

I’m pretty sure SD toyed with that idea, but it screamed IMBALANCED at them.

No, I think it’s fine as is and I think that would be a bad idea.

Tokamak, it’s probably because engi’s have soo many other things they need to use our supply on and unlike OP medics, engi’s don’t get extra supply to do it even though they have more things to do than medics.

They need to encourage buffs for all classes.

Maybe have it so the person who buffs a friendly gets something in return apart from exp

e.g

Soldier - Give a friendly ammo and receive 50% of ammo given
Medic - Heal/revive a friendly and get 1/2 a supply pip
Engi - Buff a friendly gun and receive a clip of ammo

Not perfect but it would encourage class todo their jobs more often.

THIS! If the soldier could buff his own weapon and have unlimited ammo. What else would you play as?
