Advanced Training: The Combat Medic

[@bighouse581]

The stressing of "combat" is so true thats how i was when i played medic in battlefield. My friend who was teaching me brought up a very good point. "Ah i see you're eyeing those 3 dead blueberries with revive icons over there. Before you take out your god paddles, think about this. They're dead for a reason and that reason is probobly still around, and in a good position judging by the fact that there are 3 teammates dead so close to each other"

[@CMDRCyrious]

Haha that is really good advice from your buddy.

[@jamesdeegan7365]

@@CMDRCyrious normally id go in to revive first by throwing a revive granade, then id go to find who ever it was, as i clear i throw the revive granade and continue clearing, that way if i die clearing then atleast i revived people, and if they revive and i still havent found the person who killed them then they are now alive and running around trying to help me so this time i have backup to find said killer otherwise id seach for the killer then go in for the revive like normal if i dont have a revive granade

[@ceral1079]

The reason I whip out my med tool immediately is, that I simply suck at fighting in this game. When I suicide revive one guy he probably gets more shit done than I do in ten lives. Only semi-"flaw" I see is, you usually do not have 25 seconds to revive people not in your squad/platoon. They respawn as quickly as they can. So this only works for squad play.

[@CMDRCyrious]

Hey man, and going full support mode can be helpful too, especially if you enjoy it. I just see some people burn out on it, trying to help, but not realizing that there is plenty of killing that can be done on a medic to. But if you can keep those badass heavies going and killing stuff with your med tool out, you are doing your part.

[@silvy7394]

Ha same. I always get killed instantly, at almost any range, so I'd rather try to get a friendly up than die before I can get the first bullet out trying to kill the enemy.

[@Feyyore]

There is nothing more amazing than a well timed revive grenade on a point that just got c4'd. a whole squad pops back up in the last second to take the point. XD Combat medic is my second fave class. Always switching between that and LA.

[@matthewmason1384]

You have to admit that when your the only medic in a big group you do sometimes have to go full farm mode

[@growen6474]

Even as a combat medic main with 300 hours of medic play-time, I still learned a lot from this video, such as letting a teammate stay down, if it means I survive, also, the fact that a combat medic is the second tankiest class in the game. I always thought medic was super squishy, and often excused my poor gunplay and 1v1 losses on "oh he just played a better class". Now instead, I think: "oh, he won because he got the jump on me" or any other actual advantage that is just not based on class. So, seriously, thanks for all the tips you gave! Really thankful.

[@CMDRCyrious]

Hey thanks for watching, glad it helped!

[@BinarySurfer]

The game play footage is a bunch of BS lol. If I were in those positions, the entire team stops what they are doing and synchronize their shots at me and hunt me down. Meanwhile, in your footage, they just stand around and occasionally shoot in your general direction to remind you to shoot them next lol

[@YR7A]

dude you are the best and i have no idea why your KZbin channel is not bigger you deserve a reward for your skill and detonation to being a great You Tuber honestly you ROCK!

[@nofilterneito]

As someone who gravitated towards Medic since the very beginning of my time with Planetside, it feels good to come back to this guide and have the feeling that I still have a lot to improve on with the class.

[@Bigsnake210]

My favorite playstyle, unfortunately it's kinda hard to play it as a solo player, I've been trying for a while to make my medic "equal" to my heavy assault (2.80 k/d vs 4.2 k/d), but that shield seriously give you an edge, at least people are really grateful when you revive and heal them which is great on itself. One day I will get you carapace! you will have to drop one day >:c

[@CMDRCyrious]

Adrenaline/Assimilate is a pretty powerful combo for sure. Just can't be quite as aggressive with the combat medic, gotta keep a little bit more distance.

[@raytellez3190]

This video (IMO) has been the most helpful video I've ever watched to help me in planetside 2. Thank you so much. I can't wait to be able to watch your other guides.

[@CMDRCyrious]

Great man! Will try to get them out soon.

[@jeffreym64]

[@toaster6420]

Also great video about COMBAT medic :).

[@aterranrepublicgrunt9169]

Hay Cyrious, I know this is an old video now but I wanted to make this point. The reason I and most other Combat Medics instantly pull the revive tool out is due to the fact that most players aren't gonna wait the full 25 seconds to get revived. They're just gonna wait three seconds and slam the respawn button.

[@CMDRCyrious]

Totally makes sense man. I hear you.

[@lord6617]

To be fair, if you are pugging, you probably died in a bad place, and 90% of the revives you get just mean you instadie again. Low medic count and being part of bad pushes in a pug condition people not to take revives. Its no fun dying standing dying standing dying standing when you don't realize whether that is valuable or not to take a point.

[@kappatalism6969]

[@CMDRCyrious]

[@Eoganful]

Excellent tutorial. Keep playing this great game! Combat medic is my favorite class

[@CMDRCyrious]

Thanks!

[@SweetMusiic]

I see what you did here, make a video making the combat medic sounds amazing so more people play as medic, jk combat medic is my second favourite class behind heavy assault ;3

[@CMDRCyrious]

Ummm. You are totally correct. I want more revives. :)

[@smurfpoppin4470]

Am I the only one that likes medic bc it feels like you carry a team to victory via infantry taking points

[@F0wlPlay]

Its still helpful advice, even when playing a different faction. Playing passive-aggressively when taking points by hanging back netted me kills. Revive grenades are pimp. And for the love of it all, securing an area has been far more helpful than chasing skulls.

[@deafnoisemarine6294]

One of the basics of First Aid is to check the environment for hazards before you approach to tend to the injured. As you have demonstrated quite well: this applies to Planetside just as much as (if not more than) real life.

Nothing like running through a field dodging bullets and explosions to get your buddy on his feet. Smart? No. Fun? Hell yes.

[@plasma5656]

Excellent video, as per usual. A suggestion: Now that you have a new graphics card and can handle a little bit more, why not increase your FOV? I feel like it directly corresponds with a players, situational awareness, as it basically enables you to see more of what's going on. On top of that, you are presenting gameplay of yours to an audience, so making the game look good is obviously a high priority for you (I greatly appreciate the fact that you DON'T play on full potato), and a larger FOV is certainly one of the most important settings towards the game's visual appeal. Keep up the good work!

[@CMDRCyrious]

Hey there. Yes, I am working on finding the right balance of settings. The problem with increasing your field of view, is that it makes it harder to hit headshots. The more you zoom out, the less pixels dedicated to each enemy head, less of a chance you will hit those heads. Keep your FOV in and those heads have a lot of room for you to aim on. So, yes a larger FOV would look nice, but I don't want to handicap myself. I wish I could make it better, unfortunately so many of the settings are all CPU driven. So my new GPU allows to me record at higher resolutions, unfortunately I am still handicapped by my CPU on a lot of the settings. Anyways, I will keep tweaking and hopefullly will land on better and better settings. Do note that a lot of the footage for the medic video was shot before I got the 1080ti. I still have a lot of footage to work through before I switch over to 4K. But anyways, thanks for the tips and encouragement and I will keep it up!

[@Lepalose]

After watching this post, I felt to play medic to help my squad to achieve squad task. Thanks for tips and knowledge.

[@CMDRCyrious]

You are welcome!

[@Seluecus1]

This definitely gave me a new perspective on the Combat Medic and makes me want to play it more... what are your thoughts on the dual burst rifle (shoots 2 bullets instead of 3+)? I can't remember the name of it right off bat.

[@SarGra13]

The burst fire variants - very strong choices for mid range fighting and doable in close quarters if you are careful with your engagements (you basically will have a hard time against high fire rate + in your face shooting distance but outside of that you will usually win your battles thanks to the low recoil and accuracy of three shot bursts). :) I like to recommend the 3.4 scopes on a lot of weapons and the burst is definitely one of the main types to go with it. iridar.net/planetside2/weapons/assault-rifles/ Look up the burst variants on Iridar's Wiki

[@CMDRCyrious]

Glad you liked it! I am not sure if you are speaking about the sabr or which one. All I can say every burst variant I have used has been kick-ass.

[@Seluecus1]

I think it is the Sabre. It's been a couple months since i've played PS2.

[@snick_snack101]

I love playing medic and I have to say I'm guilty of being a death skull chaser :/ but I'm also still new to the game. Thanks to your videos I'm getting better you have good tactics and aim 👌

[@Schplatnel]

Sorry for commenting on an old video, Cyrious, and you may have heard this before, but I’d argue that Carapace is much more effective than you give it credit for in this video. Let’s say you are being shot and have a constant damage per second applied to you, and you have your Nano-regen device enabled for the duration of your pain. If you do not have carapace, you will only start getting the effective damage mitigation by way of health regen once your shields drop. If you have carapace, you get that mitigation through your entire health pool, effectively doubling the amount of damage mitigation. This also applies to other regen effects like other nano-regen medics, resto kits, and even healing grenades. Of course, stack this with combat surgeon, and you have a nearly immortal medic when surrounded by teammates that can possibly even out-heal someone consistently bodyshotting you. So yes, while running carapace does ask a different playstyle of the user, I’d argue it has the potential to be much more powerful than a standard shielded medic.

[@CMDRCyrious]

Don't be sorry, and honestly... I agree. As a content creator I can't really go out and say you have to lottery 100s of dollars in this game to get a better implant... Everyone that watches would just leave. But overall I agree, carapace medic is just a straight up upgrade.

[@Schplatnel]

Commander Cyrious Oh yeah 😅 You’re like the first person people think of when they think of PlanetSide 2 on KZbin, so I definitely understand not wanting to turn players away. Yeah, I really think it’s time we get another way to obtain exceptionals. Hopefully one of these vendors inside the sanctuary will maybe sell exceptionals for a high amount of the new currency? Being able to work towards a goal even if it’s long is much more preferable to a random chance...

[@RevPVP]

Mention that if you see a dead person and you're near them, and not busy. Fucking revive them. I cannot tell you how many times I've had to respawn with a medic practically teabagging me.

[@BigFreakingCacodemon]

I initially got into medic when I was a Noob way, way back in beta. I couldn't shoot a man to save my life, (still can't) and figured if I couldn't take a life, I would save one instead. I had heard, but hadn't watched much in the way of tutorials, that medics were good for grinding certs, so I gave it a try. Figured I could earn a new weapon for my light assault or heavy assault that I would be better with, not realizing most things were side grades at the time. Well I began to get invested in the class, upgrading my medical applicator, falling in love with revive grenades, healing a desperate rag tag group of NC soldiers with my AoE healing and being the difference between holding out at the final control point or falling beneath the might of a superior force. It became less and less about certs, and more and more about trying to keep the team alive. Now whenever I play a different class and see my fellow NC comrades dead on the ground, I feel naked without my medical applicator. It's pretty amazing how Planetside is able to create these stories. I rate the medic class 9/10: would go on a life changing journey with again.

Check out my comparison of Planetside vs. Warframe and H1Z1 and PUBG. So I do do a few. I realize I am heavily skewed to Planetside, but I do plan on branching out and covering more and more topics.

I loved that guid since you said "Comab medic". I like to play this class a lot becouse of weapons, mostly they go toe to toe with best CQC Lmg's like MSW-R, Anchovies. But there is one priceless thing with playing Combat medic, ppl who pm you only to say that you are a shitty medic only becouse you didin't revive them :D

Hey man, thanx for the great vid. Gives me a clear idea on the functioning of a combat medic. Out of curiousity: will you make an advanced guide on the heavy assault class? I know there are vids out there which provide some info on that. But your vids go into decent detail explainiing the classes with gameplay and commentary. Thanx bro.

[@dorrzun685]

Pretty awesome, detailed, and informative video! If we do not have the implants specified, what are some worthwhile alternatives that would help in the instances for each class?

[@totalfan5801]

I run the same loadout as your Flak with Regen field. The only change is I tend to use a shotgun with that loadout. Like you said, crammed in those tiny point rooms; a shotgun really does shine the the chaos.

[@Tomb-G19]

I run Survivalist+Athlete with a Grenade bandolier & usually run vanu's nasty battle rifle. I try to cover my team/allies rear & pop a revive grenade when possible. Love hail Mary revival grenades lol

[@khananiel-joshuashimunov4561]

I usually run resnades with grenade bandolier. When I see a friendly go down where I can't save them, I throw a resnade, and hope for the best. Sometimes when you get a body where the enemy thinks they've cleared, it's a great way for you to assist the flanks. Worst case scenario, I lose a grenade and 75 nanites. Best case scenario, I make someone's day. As to medics who are tunnel visioned on those revives, if I see a medic run to res me while the area is still hot, I always yell in proxy chat, "Medics, your first priority is to stay alive!"

[@rattler163]

Have you ever tried the crossbow with smoke arrows +primary Shotgun? Its awesome. Especially if you can smoke a dead friendly and Rev manualy or with a Grenade even under fire.

[@CMDRCyrious]

Haha that's awesome, I have not tried that combo yet.

[@darktrooper9813]

Woah... Where in the world has this video been all my life... Oh well I’m never leaving combat medic...

[@Kodjeikov]

Disclaimer - Sarcastic comment. You did not represent my preferred loadout. The regeneration field + the shield capacitor (utility) can give you overall much more effective hp while taking fire. Only downside is the anchoring you need to do while moving. And you have your implant slots free for Assimilate and Regeneration.

[@CMDRCyrious]

Hey that sounds like a really terrific shield based build. Giving you a nice effective HP bump.

[@TheFearsomeRat]

Looking back on this video I like to run things that make me harder to kill and a Shotgun because of the pesky C4 Faries, that and it helps me get the revives off easier, since I know I'll have a bit of a buffer to get into cover, since when I'm a medic and a teammate goes down... "I will find you, and I will heal you.", since there are three things in life you can't avoid, Death, Taxes and Stubborn Medics.

[@urdnotwrex6969]

Most of the ones we get are Medtool primaries that don't bother to clear the area and just go fishing for Revive certs even when there's three hostile Heavies in shotgun range. Thing is, I've noticed that, while my first response to an enemy Medic with his Medtool out, trying to revive someone, is to try and empty my Pulsar-C into his face, a lot of other players tend to leave them be and let them get the revive, then blast the person who got revived for an instant kill, and only then shoot the medic. The amount of Medics that don't understand this on VS is... large.

Dan Gleeson times have changed.Back when i was a connery vs , the outfit i was in trained medics tbh

[@benkraft8404]

medic is my fav fragging class, even the best medics cant keep up other ppls kdR

[@camaro_kyle6851]

i dont like being the medic (sometimes) because no one dies when I'm a medic, but literally as soon as i change my class, people decide that they want to die like WTF???

[@CMDRCyrious]

Figures right?

[@rukinaa]

Ah the nice music of EVE, love it!

[@tobysstandpoint]

I really love playing combat medic, although I prefer triage pulse above all else, it feels a little more engaging for me as it gives me that extra hit that I can take before I go down, so i can be a little more aggressive even as a medic. :D

[@midrovar5811]

great combat medic for the TR :D

[@allr9697]

Hi. Thank you for the tutorial. I’m a long time RTS(BW, SC2) player and if there’s a reason I’ve been playing this FPS(if any FPS) recently is because of how comprehensive this game is about many facts. I don’t feel intimidated by the skill gap, but I feel rather encouraged. The combat medic is my fave class and I’ve built my character around high mobility and fast reviving. Like I go in take care of the dude, revive 4-6 people in 3 secs and get my gun back to head shot some curious mf who showed up as well. Lol.

[@CMDRCyrious]

Right on!

[@nagidora9334]

Thx for this guide, just that the implant aren't that easy to get but at least now I know the way I should play it.

[@CMDRCyrious]

You're welcome!

[@ianc8959]

I'm new to the game so sorry for not knowing but how do you get those implants?

[@YonniFui]

First off what a badass if he didn't tell me what was going on then I would have no clue on their plan. They so organized they should fight in the middle east. Second this was perfect timing bc I wan bout to start my combat medic derective. Huge help love your vids

[@CMDRCyrious]

Haha thanks man! Glad I can be helpful.

[@handlesarecringe957]

My aim with automatic weapons seems to suck, so I rez more than shoot when playing as a medic. Unless I’m using the AMR, of course.

[@Scenarios_V]

Great content! But i haven't got a carapace because of the bad luck and wonder which implant should i take in this situation. And is it worthy to upgrade the Combat surgeon implant to LEVEL5?

[@CMDRCyrious]

I love combat surgeon. Love love. Highly recommend it. But even just using Battle Hardened in place of carapace is a nice one.

[@IHasIdea]

Great guide, though I feel you're understating the advantages of the carapace/combat surgeon combos. Just in the video alone, I can count near double digit instances where you would die without the advantages of that combo, especially in the point hold at the end. This combo is basically ASC on steroids, while not having to run ASC at all, being able to go with nanoweave. With the only disadvantage being that max effectiveness lasts only as long as you have restoration kits, and chip damage being annoying. But, 4 resto kits are enough to get you through a point push, easily. A regular, new player without this combo is not gonna be a medium assault, not nearly as effective. Running around susceptible to EMPs, half health, slowly rechargable shields and no way to quickly recharge the nano-regen device are big disadvantages in my opinion. Not to mention the 20% damage resistance for small arms on revives during point holds and regular combat..

[@CMDRCyrious]

People really, really, really overvalue Carapace. I agree, the EMP immunity is big. But unless you have a whole squad running Carapace, you are not gaining a massive advantage over anyone. Once you run out of the 4 medkits, you are straight up worse off then having a shield. Its a powerful combo for sure, but I would not call it overpowered.

[@IHasIdea]

Thanks for the reply. What would be a good combo without carapace? The thing is hard to get. The classic HA setup, assimilate + battle-hardened? Speaking as the frontline, second row (staying behind HA spearheads) combat medic.

[@CMDRCyrious]

I would probably go combat surgeon and Battle hardened if you were going without Carapace. Combat surgeon just has so many perks, especially if its max rank.

[@GRAVITY15]

Ive fallen in love with infiltraiter even more since implant on ps4.... I can go full on predator AVP mode because of the thermal vision implant and stalker plus deap operative

[@CMDRCyrious]

Nice man :)

[@seventhsilence3724]

i think grenade bandolier with rez-nades is top option for medic,cos combat surgeon is pretty enough for nano regen device

[@simplyspenser887]

Big thank you dude, this video really helpful for the beginners as me. Hope i manage ty take this nice implants in someday:( И ещё раз, благодарю за полезный ролик:)

[@CMDRCyrious]

Right on. Good luck out there soldier. Its a rough n tumble world, but you will hold your own. I will see you... Planetside.

[@simplyspenser887]

Heh, you such are nice person. You have my thanks an new subscriber:) Did you already have or want ty make in future, guide for shotguns? I realy like them, but i see only few situations, there they can be used. Maybe some class with unusual loadouts, make use them more or less stable?

[@micheljavert5923]

First class I auraxed; That last savior kill was a b*tch (got it running by an NC who was running by me to shoot a guy behind me).
