Swap Specializations Around

#42

Scouts need to flank more, that’s where they shine against most Predators. You can cut them off and harass them.

Running down second winded Predators seems to be their loose role in the squad.

#43

No he doesn’t

#44

Field medic is so OP. It’s nearly impossible to beat a team that has 3 or 4 field medics, especially if they’re a premade.

Field medic needs to get changed somehow in the next patch.

#45

It needs to be given to another class
At least that might help

#46

Yeah, that could make things slightly better but I’d prefer it if Field Medic was just removed from the game. It gives the fireteam too much of an advantage.

True but a FT full of Assaults with Field Medic is easier to deal with then 4 Supports with Field Medic. It becomes laughably easy if Recon/Scout have Field Medic

The Supports provide damage resistance to nearby teamsters, and can carry both ammo and medkits. The other classes don’t have those options

#48

Even if the Field Medic specialisation was given to another class, it would still be difficult to deal with. It becomes so hard to secure a down when people are able to instantly revive each other.

Either way, I hope Illfonic does something about Field Medic.

#49

Well again the only reason why it’s a problem is because Support has his passive that shaves off like 20% damage to his teammates, and this buff stacks with OWLF training

#50

That’s not the only reason it’s a problem. I’ll give you a scenario.

I downed one of the Field medics with my bow. I start shooting arrows at him to secure the kill but his teammates are shooting at me and one of them comes and revives him in one second. The only thing I can do to secure the kill is going for the claim and risk getting second winded.

There’s very little counters for a team that has 3 to 4 Field Medics.

#51

Again those are Supports
The only why to stop the Field Medic madness is to take it away from the Support
Your scenario would have been different if the squad you were facing wasn’t supports. You could have gotten the kill or maybe even have downed the player going for the revive

#52

Perhaps…

#53

Buy whays stopping a team from running 3 field medics and one support with ammo and health.

You get the 20% damage resistance, 150 health, OWLF, your shaving 25 health but they get more speed

#54

Easy all you have to do is these 3 simple steps

  1. Nuke the support first

  2. Kill everything

  3. Assert your dominance by T posing or tea bagging
#55

How could you if you can’t kill him because of field medic. If field medic is so op because you can insta revive, and typical squads abusing it run 4 field medics, so your field medicing the support, what changes by having the field medic on a scout or assault?

#56

They don’t have a passive that shaves off 20% of all income damage you can dish out
So once someone is up someone else just went down

#57

The support gives it to the reviver though

The passive is an aoe

#58

I can agree with this especially considering I play both FT and Predator and have set my perks and class for maximum damage on Predator and managed to solo him.

#59

You are literally only shaving off 25 hp. Everything else stays in affect. Except now they’re faster and with more stanima.

#60

If you have two supports
One goes down
The other goes for the revive
They both still benefit from the passive

#61

You keep forgetting if everyone is running Field Medic, wile Field Medic isn’t on Support, there won’t be a support to give damage reduction
