==== Battle-Medic ====
Mainly a joke subclass, but the Ubersaw can make Medics slightly less of a joke in close combat situations. It's also what a Medic must default to in a pinch - just don't go thinking you can cap the point using it.

<u>Pros</u>:
*You have one of the few rapid-fire weapons in the game....so long as you aren't using the Crusader's Crossbow.
*Taking a Blutsager means you can survive longer by healing yourself.
*Your melees have a reputation for one-shotting light classes. Especially the Ubersaw.
<u>Cons</u>:
*You aren't playing to your biggest strength of healing others.
*The Crusader's Crossbow is a straight downgrade in terms of DPS.
*Even the syringe guns have some level of gravity applied to their projectiles.
*Medics are squishy and relatively slow compared to other classes, meaning it's easy to die going alone.
*Regardless of your fire rate, actual offensive classes will outperform you.
