I primarily play medic and have over 170 hours logged as medic. I pack the blutsauger, Medigun, and Ubersaw. I had some trouble going from bonesaw to ubersaw because of the rate of fire being nerfed, but the increase in ubers is way worth it. I will echo the need for good communication between the person you are charging and yourself, I usually will look for the most skilled aggressive player and follow him, *If your partner does not protect you in a fight, then find a new partner* Sometimes i will ask for help from my patient and if it is not received, i move on to someone i can work with. The biggest danger I have experienced are good scouts with nothing on their mind but to take the enemy medic out. This usually only occurs on clan matches, and not usually seen in pub servers. The only way I have gotten around this is to tell my team what the scouts are doing, and not to let them slip through our lines, (The scouts would usually run behind our force, then double back, and take me out from behind) Medic is a lot of fun, but there are expectations of you. Your team expects to get healed when needed, and a good medic doesn't need to be called. If a person is moving in for an offensive maneuver, they expect you to stay with them and not run away. Also, biggest rule is to save colleagues before comrades. This means, if you save a medic from dying you both can heal the rest in half the time. Medics keep medics alive, this is key! I will also give credit to the Medic Melee, although the bonesaw is quicker, the ubersaw is just as potent, to this day, people never cease to be amazed when I kill them with my ubersaw (especially heavies) You must know when to do this tho, don't sacrifice yourself, but if it looks like you're going to lose the fight, get it ready. That is all I can think of at the moment, Hope this helped. :P This strategy and all comments are great! I primarily play medic and have over 170 hours logged as medic.

Talking to your ubered player is important, i like to keep team up to date even in pubs that i'm getting close to uber. This is to line up a person and place to meet. Second i think it is vital to your life and ubered persons life that you watch the uber go and let them know they are about to lose uber, so they can back out of thier ussually overly aggresive play. Also communicate your targets. I am a chatter box when playing medic. I feel like i can't kill the people i see while healing so i am constantly giving locations of enemys. You have to make sure you don't overwhelme your partner, there is a fine line here. And last note the Syringe Gun owns, i and fellow medics i play with do not hide behide our team. If you are fighting a scout/engi/spie and your sold/demo is running out of ammo or just can't seem to get them, finish them off with your gun let there splash damage work with your spray and you can take down any charging scout. this is one thing i see happen a lot, scouts running in and owning a medic while he heals a sold or demo.

Since the update negating the need to have soldiers / demos damaging themselves, distributing health overcharge like this makes it harder to charge for an uber. However, this also allows more of your team to survive the initial beating on Gravelpit and Dustbowl. While you may not be able to heal everyone during a fight, having more people over their base health amounts means more of them will be still around when the dust settles.

Always remember to continue moving guys. And Zero, thank you for pointing out that technique. I had not thought of that and I will be using that with my clan in the coming days.

I think that it is important to note that the medic is one of the fastest classes in the game. You can use this strategy to help out your soldier/demo/heavy if they are trying to take out a sentry. Since the sentry will attempt to target the person that is closest to it, you can run ahead of whoever you are ubering and the sentry will target you and leave your partner alone, allowing them to deal with the sentry unhindered.

But this guide is useful for anyone. Also NEVER STOP MOVING, if your a medic you never want to stop moving especially if there is a sniper or even a spy moving around. Even if its just strafing to make your target miss. This is a nice guide but as we all know each person has their own potential skill level in every game. But this guide is useful for anyone.

The Syringe Gun has a more realistic mass to it, which makes it fall in an arch, much like the Demoman's weapons. The difference I see most is the obvious explosive difference, but there is also the velocity and therefore, distance it travels. I've out-sniped lots of Snipers with with this tactic across 2fort! It becomes very handy! I think it's the medic's best weapon. They don't have to be defensive! - Thanks Graham - I consider myself as an experience medic as well, though I am still growing.

I consider myself a great medic and the only thing I could notice might have been left out is using the syringe gun to your advantage while fleeing, since the nails slow down and knock back your target it's a great escape weapon when you master it. In addition constantly checking to make sure all teammates are buffered will help build uber faster as well. Very well written.
