It's a tie between Demo and Soldier. Skilled demo's can take out entire defenses. As well as soldiers. But the real difference is Sollys H/A, they have to much staying power, unlike demos, who get killed after one good nade and a shotty blast. So my pick is solly hands down. And NOT because he is my primary class either.  _________________

That's like telling a solder he can't use his rocket launcher because it does too much damage and isn't fair to the attacking team.
Medics would dominate the leagues if they were allowed to play both aspects of a CTF map.  |
Any organized attack like you would see in a 8 on 8 clan match would eat a medic and an engy for breakfast over and over Soldier,engi,hw is a very common defense with another soldier chunking anything up before they get through.That soldier lets the primary defenders know what's coming through good binds and that is called defense.Silly medic Trix are for kids you would die and your team would lose plain and simple  _________________

Even HW don't make great defense in clan matches. They do serve a purpose and can be mort lethal if they are capable of aiming conced. But in these situations, a good medic/scout will conc your slow fat arse if your playing HW.
Medics on D? Ok maybe good on some maps, but on CTF maps they have no real use. Infections can be dealt with after a flag run and or the person can just kill themselves, theyby restocking, getting a fresh set of nades and not standing their with their health ticking down. Again this isn't something I would do in a regular game, kind of cheap to take away the medics kill, but that's a whole nother issue.
Engies, fantastic on defense as long as they have support, alone they wouldn't do much at all against a good medic. The who doesn't get damaged too bad from EMP's (if he's smart and discards) has more Health/Armor than and regular nades/nail gun and all other tools necessary for taking down those pesky SG's _________________ "Don't be so humble - you are not that great."

I dunno, i watched a Demo of Necro(a famous HW that everyone thinks cheats), and that was some pretty tight D between him and thier engie. He would kill stuff as it came across the middle part on mulch trench or as they conced over him.
Aiming while conced is a big facter though, but most league players can, so, there you go. _________________
