So after many hours I finally have completed my guide to the beginner 6v6 medic!

This is version 1.1 (some minor edits due to some things that spike himself and monkeh pointed out).

https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B7VdxtpnaH1zTGhtZHhZd0UyLWs/edit?usp=sharing

Can I please just reiterate now that this guide is for absolute beginners and that of course I am not in the best position to be explaining the class well (with my very limited experience) but I see too many friends get into medic and then give up after a few weeks because its “too hard” or its “too confusing” and Id just like to give beginners a head start so that they are not left in this position. BUT please do give advice critisize etc. because I want to keep updating this guide with knowledge from you guys so that soon it can become something which everyone agrees is helpful and doesnt miss out any information.

tl;dr: please give advice + critisism but remember that I myself am a bit of a noob so I wont know everything that you premdiv medics know.

The bit about critheals is incorrect; it’s not healing that resets it (and thus not “not being healed for a long time”), but damage.

If a player hasn’t taken damage for a long time, they will heal faster. It doesn’t make a difference if you heal them in one go or in parts, or with the crossbow first.

Also something that a lot of medics aren’t aware of is your own regen rate; after taking damage you only regen at a rate of 3 hp per second, which then gradually buillds up to 6 per second over the next 10 seconds.

Because the most powerful weapon in
Tf2 is the ubercharge you need to be able to know as a medic when to be
building.

This seems redundant; shouldn’t you always be building? With perhaps the only exception being the last hold where you have such a big disadvantage you won’t have über in time anyway.

Yea that was badly phrased but I was trying to get rid of any notion that when teammates are not directly involved in death-matching its ok to just sit and heal people without somebody building in some way.

If the point you are making is legit. How does your post have any validity?

Thanks for your useful input NsX. Now please go away :)

My opinion on this: Learning by doing!

Add a link to the pickups and tell the new medic he should inform his team that he’s new in 6v6. Playing with better players is the only option for a medic to get experienced/good/better. Everything else is nice to read but a waste of time… =)

Dropbox is shit for making files public, maybe put it on a google drive doc or something, dropbox goes down it seems if even 2 people look at the file TT.

At least he tried. I don’t think, that new medics should play pickups. Rule is div5+, but peign is right – if you want to get better, play against better players.
