I guess using perks is hacking XD

I know this is a little ******ed, but on reading the OP my first thought was of one of the randoms screaming:
"You helped your team...... you bar-steward". Really, how ungrateful!!

I love the help you get from / give to randoms (never done co-op).

Just the other day i had finished a mission, and on the way out another player was getting pinned down by a Hulker (or other big type, i dunno) and was clearly struggling. I just aggro'd the big guy, which let the other player flank him and finish him off.
Was great to see the player then run up to me and give me a generic "Never thought i'd find someone as tough as me" greeting! Good times.......

Exactly
This makes my day.... many times a day when playing Defiance.

My 3rd layout focuses completely on support style. LMG with a high cap shield for tanking with a BMG on backup to heal anyone along with a hp increases, constant hp regen and the group revive perk. Also have the self revive cooldown on reviving a team mate.

That's funny! My third load-put is specifically for healing too!
I got a uniform that looks kind of like a medic.
BMG in the first weapon slot as when I switch that's what I want anyway.
Second weapon slot is a close range shotty because running into groups to heal people it's a must. This weapon has a self revive on kill bonus and an EGO power refresh on damage.
Decoy is my Main Power (To kep those pesky enemies off me) with the Self Revive and Group Revive perks loaded up for support.

It's actually a fun build to play medic.

Wasn't sure how to double quote but yes it works just like that. Each person that gets up with this perk is counted as 1 revive.

you can manually copy paste and put the BBS code in front and behind the text (QUOTE)Words blah blah (/QUOTE). You need to make sure to use the square bracket "[" open and close instead of the "(" I used in the example as you wouldn't have seen it if I used it correctly.
