Support/Heal Tips
1.Take some time and learn how to dodge effectively. Try not to be in the air. Maximize your time on the ground. But sometime jumping in the air will help you.
Get the Air Compressor internal this will save your life. Being able to use this to your advantage will save you and escape to go repair fellow pilots or yourself.
2. Choosing who to heal is also important. If you see a mech that is repairing its self in a safe place don't heal him. Go for the guys on the front line so you can prolong the fight and hopefully win it.
Also choosing the right person to heal when you're on the front line. If there is someone who is just standing there taking bullets and not dodging. DONT HEAL HIM he is useless (Im sorry for all the noobs i just insulted).
After a while in the game you'll see who is a good player between the average player. Heal the good players first because they will often lead to a kill and that is one less player shooting at you.
3. After healing the important players. Be wary of the other Mechs with low health heal them. Your teammates will thank you later.
4. If there is a Incinerator on your team use the Redox. It has a debuff effect the the enemy player will take more damage. But the Redox uses alot of heat be careful with heat and not overheat. An Incinerator will take the heat from nearby mechs. So thats why i use Redox with Incinerator
5. DO NOT OVERHEAT this will kill you and you'll be sorry. If you are about to overheat stop healing until your heat is gone.
6. Weapon of choice
PNN-23 - If you want to do a little damage without the heat generation from the hawkins-RPR this wep is the way to go. PNN-23 Does not have as much heat generation as the hawkins-RPR.
Hawkins-RPR - This wep is better then the PNN-23 if you want to do more damage. But healing and using the Hawkins-RPR will cause you to overheat alot faster than the PNN-23.
Redox-02 - If you want to help your teammates even more put this weapon on. It has a debuff that will cause the enemy pilot to take more damage. But only use it when there are plenty of other teammates around. Because Redox has alot of heat generation. If you are going to use it just be super careful and remember tip 5. Also the Redox has splash damage if you accidentally shoot yourself with it you will take alot more damage because you are already paper thin with a debuff.
7. Know when to Escape is a great way to stay alive. If you are healing a mech and there are just to many enemy mechs causing to much DPS just stop healing and RUN! go to a pocket of your teammeates and heal them instead (Forgot about this tip)
Hope these Tips will help you in the long run when using the Technician!
I will be posting the right way to be an offensive Technician too.
And yes i know this is a bad strategy. If you want to do this strategy atleast do it right.
