User blog:RefillSunset/Which Class is the Best

So many people are asking me or others what they think is the best class, or they enjoy sharing their point of view, which is what i am doing. Feel free to comment below if you feel I'm correct, or more likely, totally wrong :)

My opinion
1st: Medic

2nd: Assault

3rd: Assault

4th: Medic

etc etc etc

999th: Heavy

Why?

Let me explain in terms of survivability, damage and team support.

Hate for Heavy
But before that, I need to explain my hate for the Heavy. The Heavy is a class that tanks damage, and my theory is that, if you avoid the damage, you don't have to tank it at all. So many bosses in this game can deal overwhelming amounts of damage, like the Devatator or the Wicker or hell, even the Loaderbots. Why bother to increase your maximum health and defense when all you need to do is skirt out of the way? Both the Assault and the Medic have fast movement speed to begin with, but the Heavy has really low speed, and adding to the fact that one skill is dedicated to tanking and another to reducing the movement penalty of the gun, 2 skills are wasted. Also, the Heavy's playstyle promotes standing still as a defensive turret, but in this game, hardly any map can you truly utilize this playstyle. You end up standing where you are, picking off occasional zombies when you team rushes forward and has all the fun, and then panting to catch up. Simply put, no fun. The only thing i hate more than tanking damage is tanking nothing.

Medic
The medic's survivabilty is legendary. At maximum Energy Regen Gear (check my dream medic build), you gain 11 energy per second, effectively regaining the energy it takes for you to throw one health pack that heals you for 4,000 health. The medic's health is the lowest, but the speed the fastest, making him most survivable. If you are surrounded, you can't blast your way through like an assault can, but you can throw so many different grenades to stop or kill the zombies.

Heavy
