i think that medics shoulf atleast get a better weapon. medics as they are can get easily killed andcauses people to go away from medics. if a group of people rush a defender he has a chance of atleast getting a few of them before getting killed. the crossbow is not a very effective weapon and the pistols are not effective for combat. it doesn't matter if they stay back, once a team rushes you it is hard for medics to stay alive and heal people.
