Remember anyone even non medics can use stimpacks.
good macro would be to use LD and use a stimpack right after

Last Ditch is actually what it is supposed to be now...a last ditch. the lower your health when you execute it, the more damage it does. (my buddy told me this, havent had a chance to test it myself yet)
You are exactly right. Use last ditch when your have full health, it will drop you to like 5% and do almost no damage.
Use last ditch when you are getting close to 0 HAM, and it does a tremendous amount of damage (and drops you to the same 5%). Its definitly a much more tatical use manuver. I was dueling a buddy, and purpously did not use my Stim-D to let my HAM drop low. I hit latch ditch and did like a 4K hit to him. Almost 2k got through his armor. It was amazing to see.
Then I hit my Stim-D and bonced back to a decent level of health.
It may be great for 1 on 1, but in a group melee, you may be better off running than using LD.
Just a bit of warning.. use this when you really have to.
so yeah
it works.![]()
This, my untrustworthy friends, is what we have been waiting for.
And that symbol, the shattering hourglass? Probably one of the best across the board.
Thankyou Devs, thankyou CU, I now have a real last ditch.
A friend and I were getting our butts handed to us by gurks tonight, and he incapped (I'd been mostly healing with medic and firing the occasional potshot) and when it came after me, I ran like crazy, and this time FINALLY remembered I had this attack!
Needless to say, that poor gurk didn't know what hit 'im. ![]()

The three-incap rule doesn't seem to apply if you incap yourself with this attack either. I was playing with it last night at Nyax's joint and was amused to find it was perfectly possible with almost no health to kill everything in 1 hit, incap, get up after a little bit and do it all over again. Pretty lame, but it was funny.
