Medics

see long rant post again. and then read it again.

 

i know. a medic can revive somethign killed by... a zergling, zealot (melee)
but not heal something killed by (lurker, reaver) (explosive)
i'm sure a medic in the future can heal someone that was say, cut in half by a zealot or cut up by a zerglign. i mean it's the future.

 

But at the same time you have to remember that they're a MEDIC. The job of a medic is to just keep someone alive until they can actually get a real doctor/surgeon. If they could save somone who was cut in half, it wouldn't be a medic doing it, it'd be a surgeon

 

So.... maybe for 50 more minerals and 25 gas you can make battlefield surgeons... ^_^

 

...
the surgeons would only be able to resurrect a few guys before he's out of energy. also, i dont like the idea becuase the point of hte medic is to keep ur guys alive but with a surgeon ur just letting them die. this ressurection is pointless.

 

I think my post was misunderstood....I'm saying that it would be dumb for a medic to ressurect because that's not what the job of a medic is for. I was saying that if in some magical way, you could save someone that was cut in half, it wouldn't be a medic in the battlefield doing it, it'd be a surgeon in an operating room.

 

worst thread ever....

 

You mean... ZOMBIES? So they could like.. walk at 5mp/h and eat brains!! Yay!!

 

No, I was just poking fun at that.

Zombies you say?! While we're at it the fourth race will be undead.

 

Well, if medics could resurrect people, we'd still be waging WW1 right now...

 

i quote red vs blue
DOC:"Im not actually a doctor, im just a medic"
CHURCH:"Whats the difference?"
DOC:"Doctors actually heal people, medics just make them feel better while they die"
CHURCH:"Note to self:dont get shot"

 

Tucker: "Also mention that you like to punch people in the head while they sleep."
Caboose: "That was you!? I thought the Tooth Fairy was mad at me."

Ahem... but in any case, resurrection only would work if the new units are classified as zombies. Because anything + zombies = win.

 

Their leader shall be Zombie 2pac

 

you bastard, i wanted to say that

 

Medic ressurection sounds like a pretty neat idea, but what is the point? You can easily make a replacement for whatever died. But if they did have reviving skills, I would think it would only be affecting infantry units, because medics are not engineers

 

Because it would just be lame... I mean if they did ahve resurrection abillity, terran wiould be almost unstoppable.

 

I disagree, Terran Medics would have to use a ridiculously high amount of energy to resurrect a unit that only costs 50 - 75 minerals to create. If that were the case, no one would really use it as heal is already learned and costs 99% less then what a resurrect would be. So it's use would not really be justified.

But what if you make a ridiculous amount of medics? Who cares, you only wasted supplies on them and lowered your offensive capacity. What are we going to do with a bunch of medics that resurrect each other wasting valuable energy at every single pop.

 

except for the small fact that resurrection is dumb. Balancing it isn't a problem. Making it not dumb is impossible.

 

with terrans, what would you ressurect anyways? all you really have is marines, ghosts, and medics because firebats blow up and reapers fly away then blow up. are you gonna try to revive a tank?

 

Plus most organic units explode in a pool of blood so unless you can rebuild them from a sample of their DNA then they wont be resurrecting.
