The Medics Who Care

Well for me i only revive if people are near me now cause they always give up as i get to them, defib change hasn't really effected me much still works ok when i use it,  Plus it's always annoyed me that medic got merged into support class, should of had its own class with better gadgets for heals etc like get a needle gun gadget n fire a dart into ur fallen squad-mates **bleep** and gain 10 extra points if you hit their crack lol.

I think that's only because people have been conditioned to assume that Medics aren't going to revive them, in battlefield 1 it happened occasionally but most people only played medic if they were actually going to revive I really wish that support and medic were separated again so players would learn to trust the good medics again because it sucks when I run 40 m to go save some guy and he dies when I'm 3 m out, and now it sucks even more because the defibrillators have been nerfed so heavily (at least in my opinion) that's why I attached the video a lot of us really good medics have muscle memory that's now mostly useless

Yeah you prob right about this, that link/attachment dosent work for me  loads a still image with 0:00 on video image,
They need to add names above downed bots aswell so you can ignore them easier and not risk dying for them lol

I don't know why the video doesn't work it's mainly just gameplay, I got 109 (91 I mis remembered) revives that game it was glorious and it wasn't really spammy either 

I wish it would be easier to tell friendly's that you're going to revive them the way the marking system works right now just isn't very fun it's useful to be able to mark a specific area but I wish you could disable it to make it easier to spot enemies and mark friendlies for inbound revival or if you could automatically tell friendly's in the area that you're going after them, but I think it would need some sort of system to check if you actually revive people or not to stop the trolls 

I average around 28 revives a game so maybe if it's about 15 or something then it would allow you to automatically mark them within a certain range idk

I'm going to remove the link since it's not working 

I don't think it's a defibrillator only thing, the change has just reduced the spam reviving with them and that's about it.  

What this post has highlighted more though is people wanting a dedicated fifth medic class. Support and Medic are two separate roles, that have clear distinctions between them, being merged only muddies the water.   

I play support as a medic, I have little interest in the " support " side of things when I pick that class, I'm sure their are people who are the opposite than me, who don't want to revive people but now have that responsibility thrust upon them. 

Exactly! We need a dedicated medic class 

I think if they kept the time it takes to charge to full and the limited charges but got rid of the delay between being able to use the defibrillators  it would work just fine it kind of reminds me of the syringes in battlefield 1 and the only problem I ever had with those is they never detected the person needing revived causing a lot of trouble that didn't need to happen, but battlefield 6 is quite a bit faster paced which is fine but the defibrillators need to reflect that, having such a tiny delay just makes it annoying and clunky

I made a couple of posts a few days ago which you'd find interesting.   

I built a BF6 concept with a five class system, two training paths and signature weapons for each to boot. 

Medics get carbines as a class weapon, one training path is medic bag and drag revive focused, the other is defib and mobility focused.
