Which is better for noobs, Aura or Sawbonez?

[quote=“JJMAJR;121184”]I chosen Aura. I looked over the points between the two sides of the debate, and honestly I am in agreement with Aura’s position as a medic.

However, for new players, most of the time they’d rather play classes like the sniper or one of the engineers. Unfortunate that the difficulty curve is incredibly high for those classes. And, quick scoping is a thing. And, cloaks and stealth is unsuitable for snipers in DB. So really all snipers are good for is being a good complement to a player with overpowered aim.

Thus, engineers. They also have a high difficulty curve, especially Bushwacker in terms of his weapons.

Honestly though, the only use for Aura in competitive is corner camping and playing with a sidearm in ranges past what a shotgun can pull off.

I’d like to see assault rifle Sawbones cards.[/quote]

Thank you so much for just leaving a decent opinion. so many other people have just come into these threads and made ridiculous arguments. i agree with you on the competitive point.

[quote=“Amerika;120960”]Shotguns are much easier to get a random kill with than an SMG for very new players. That’s their sole reason for being in the game and balanced as they are. Good for new players to get accustomed to the game mechanics and giving them pretty decent kill potential but not giving the the range required to make them crazy good for the more experienced players. If you’re only focused on killing people in the short range there is less requirements on what you have to do to get a kill.

That’s pretty much how the shotgun is uses in many other games as well.[/quote]

my experience with this disagrees with you. I found it much easier to get kills with the SMG 9 by playing a bit more cautiously with bonez.

That being said, if you find them easier, good for you.

I’ve introduced a fair few people into this game, and most like playing her. Aura is fast, plus you can play a medic without having to stop and heal, or can hang back and keep people up easily.

For the record too, I do prefer Sawbonez personally. Think he’s a better medic, better guns for my style of play, and the health packs are awesome. Especially when it comes to competitive play, it’s a no brainer to me, but yeah for noobs not so much.

Maybe I’d like to see Sawbones use the Dreiss or Stark, but maybe I realize that could be bullshit. However, it can be complemented with the worst buffs in the game, such as the Guardian Angel+Pineapple Juggler+Bomb Squad combination.

People are idiots and cancel health packs; Pick Aura

I think Flying Pig over Bomb Squad would be worse

Well, Flying Pig actually works, while Bomb Squad is useless if you’re aware of your surroundings.
