Auto or manual beam?

I've just started playing Medic more recently, and I was wondering what the forum Medics' opinion was on the option to have the beam sustained without holding the mouse1 button? I've kept it at auto because I felt it would be easier to keep the beam going, but I sometimes feel like it lets go of the beam too easily. Does the manual option allow you to hold the beam for longer distances, or more easily if you're not facing your patient?

I kinda felt that way, at least with the auto-healing option they give us in game... long since given up on the little checkbox in multiplayer options.

Medigun scripts ftw though, that's how auto-healing should be done.

Says Smerbuick of the Messed-Up Script, who can't even use his correctly.

LOL, it's so easy for people to recognize when I'm afk or not because I'll just be needling a wall or thin air.

Yes definitely don't use MY scripts, but there are good/non-fruity auto-medigun ones out there.

Ah thanks, I'll keep that in mind. Also, Dr. Octagon ftw.

I keep it on manual because I have more control and less opportunity for glitching.

I have mine on auto, but hold mouse1 down anyway, at least until I'm healing someone, I need those ubers fast..

I keep mine on manual; I have trouble switching targets fast when I use auto,

Like Majin, i keep it on auto, but i always find myself holding it down.

Auto, easier for me since my fingers start to hurt pressing down so hard, something I tend to do a lot.
