Medic (Team Fortress 2)

"Let's go practice medicine."

- The Medic

A Teutonic man of medicine with a rather tenuous adherence to medical ethics, the Medic is nonetheless the primary healing class of the team. As the Medic doesn't possess the best arsenal for straight-up gunplay. He can typically be found near the front-lines, healing wounded teammates while trying to stay out of trouble. While his Medigun is focused on an ally, wounded teammates will quickly regain health, while unharmed teammates' health will be temporarily topped up. While healing, the Medic's ÜberCharge bar will fill up until the weapon begins to crackle, at which point he can activate a deadly charge that either makes himself and an ally temporarily invulnerable (when using the default Medigun) or gives his patient guaranteed critical hits for eight seconds (when using the Kritzkrieg).

The Medic is the only class capable of regenerating health over time; the longer a Medic stays out of combat, the faster his health will recover. A damaged Medic will regenerate health at a rate of 3 HP per second, which scales up over the following ten seconds to a maximum of 6 HP per second, (though carrying the Blutsauger reduces the regeneration rate from 3-6 to 1-4.)

Trivia

 * In the comic "Ring of Fired" The Medic is considered the best off while the rest of the mercenaries were fired, working as a highly paid Doctor.
 * The fandom of Team Fortress 2 often depict The Medic as a heavenly saint (as seen in various community made Medic items) or a sadistic mad scientist.
 * Medic is the second fastest class in Team Fortress 2, with a base speed of 107%. The fastest is the Scout with 133%.
 * The Medic and Spy can be considered the opposite in some things:
 * Spy, while being french from west Europe, the Medic is german from central Europe, and it's kinda ironic since that France was part of the Allied powers and Germany was part of central powers(WWI) and Axis powers(WWII) or essentially, rival countries.
 * Spy, despite being a killer who kills, but is actually portrayed sophisticated and gentle. The Medic, despite being a doctor who heals and made for doing no harm to others, but is actually portrayed psychotic and deranged.
