Medic (Team Fortress 2)

"Let's go practice medicine."

- The Medic

A Teutonic man of medicine from Sttutgart, Germany, with a rather tenuous adherence to medical ethics, Dr. Ludwig AKA 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 100% critical shots for up to 8 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, and the Crusader's Crossbow and Amputator together will raise it by 1.)

Like all of the characters, he is an anti-hero/anti villain depending on who you play as and what side you choose. He is also known for his sadistic personality toward his enemies, claiming that the healing is priceless, not as the killing or hurting others.
