Poison.

[Storm]

Hey there,

since there aren't a lot of videos or movies of players and their gameplay captures around (well, the game is just out for a bit more than a week.. :p), I decided to release one on my own.

Looking forward to see your feedback.

Not bad. Always nice to see a poison-spec medic that's still willing to pull out their healgun when it'd be useful (and situationally aware enough to know when to do so).

Here's some critique for you.

0:35~, Poison Grenade, and then Poison Aura on the same person; and only one person for that matter? Waste!
0:46, PowerVirus Grenade on a Decoy, why? You did manage to hit some other guy by accident, though.
1:09, wasted Poison Aura for no reason, I suppose it was a missclick.
1:25~, you waste two grenades on, again, one target, and you didn't bother destroying the Medcrate untill after you had used the grenades, either. You also choose to kill the Rocket Turret last. Should've been your main priority after the Robotic guy died.
2:35~, both grenades, one after another. Don't know what they were thinking when you threw the grenades; they actually ran straight into them for whatever reason (including the medic, lol). Lucky moment, I suppose!
3:12, you use both grenades at the same time, and choose to throw them at a group of people hugging a medcrate. You're lucky it didn't cure your DoTs before that assault came down and saved the day.
4:44, you used Poison Aura on one player who were almost already dead.
5:20, again, you wasted one of your grenades on a player who were already dying to one of your poisons; who actually choose to stay in place and get hit by the second grenade, and yet, still fight you! Woah, totally a rambo-moment there by him.
5:33, that's what you get for skipping the additional range on your Agony gun.
6:00, first grenade you threw shortly before this was alright, but the one you threw 6:00 was completly pointless.
6:25, almost killed yourself there. Nuggets ftw.

Besides this, I really wish I could run my game that smoothly, especially with fraps on! Keep it up man.

Not going to critique your play, because enough has been said (that and I think you played just fine ), but I did enjoy the video!

Hey Timesynq,

thanks for the criticism (sp?) - I often fire off my grenades/aura in rapid succession because of the insane burst you get in return - which kills most players even after the first medcrate tick/cure is in. It is a waste of the dot timer, of course - but helps increases the killspeed in return.

With both offhand talents specced, you are able to reuse your offhands soon again - which is why I use my nades and auras also against single targets. I use my agony gun a lot more on single targets when fraps isn't recording in the background, but sometimes it slows my system a bit too much - so I compensate the one or two hits I can't get off with aura/nades.

Not the most elegant way to play - maybe. But it works. Nonetheless, after reviewing my scenes from your viewpoint, I could definately improve my play a bit further (which I do every day actually, since I am just a bit too fresh for the game imo).

//edit: And thanks a lot for the feedback to the rest of you guys, much appreciated
