Are medics an offensive class now?

ALL I SEE ARE MEDICS THAT DO NOTHING BUT ATTACK. They do not heal, just needle, and saw. They even go into the oppontet base with like three million sentries, just to saw a scout.

What is going on? Now there is like fourty medics, a good what? Month after the update? How long will this go on?

But answer the title.

Not generally, heh.

I mean you can treat it as an offensive class and it's great to know when and how to put use to all your weapons but you'll do your team much better services not clownboating around. They'll appreciate you keeping 5 of them healthy more than they'd ever appreciate you nearly getting yourself and/or probably getting yourself killing doing some goofy shit. Nothing wrong with using those few spare seconds you occasionally get to unload a clip of needles into a crowd of people though, especially because with the new blutsauger that actually will help keep you alive.

Come to the TF2F servers, Ive never seen more than 3 medics(including myself) in a game.

Medics have always have offensive capabilities. It's just that as more people try them after playing offensive classes, they discover that you can kill stuff.
They just suck at Combat Medicking. Two combat medics working in tandem can do a lot of damage, though.

I find that if none of my teamies need healing, I get out my ubersaw and get some needles into my opponets, while gaining health!

I don't care in one does go offensive, but when the refuse to heal me, then I'm not happy. Plus, as a Scout, Medics always come after me. No matter what.

I do offensive Medic pretty effectively.  But, I know when to Heal, which is almost anytime I'm not alone.  You can be quite effective with a Blutsauger, but you are no match for an aware "almost any class".

You know what? I love to be an offensive medic. The buzzsaw is a nifty weapon, and the syringe gun can project over long distances pretty well. The best part is that at any moment, you can switch to defensive mode and start healing your teammates. Not many other classes can be offensive AND defensive.

Just because you're healing doesn't mean that a medic is defensive. Medics should always be healing - that's their job - and if they arent, you'd better hope hes dam good with the bonesaw.

I'm an offensive Medic until someone starts callin for a Medic.
