Please hit X every time you die, I main medic and the amount of players I see not asking for a rez when I'm standing over you is just TOO DAMN HIGH. You get faster into battle and your team doesn't lost a clone.

Bear in mind sometimes their on different levels or I have even seen downed mercs glitches where I couldn't get to them. But when I have room I always have proto needles, but sadly many don't realize they have to hit X.
Even in squad, with them knowing I got proto needles they don't hit X
I really wish they would hit X
How hard is it to hit X
Why don't you hit X
It says to hit X
Can you please hit X
HIT X DAMNIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Another friendly reminder: if the reason you are dead is that a sniper shot you, don't hit X. |

This. and then being asked to be situationally aware of what killed you in order to ask for help more responsibly, even though you're lying paralyzed on a battlefield...
Plus, you've been shotted. You are in a strategically compromised location by definition. Hit O, pick a distant spawn point, and save six clones, not one.
TL;DR
Needles are a waste.
As of April 9, 2015, we have about 330 days of DUST 514 left. Enjoy them!

Medics, we love you. I respectfully add for your consideration that the above posts are relevant. There are about twice as many bad medics as good one's, and that has got the people who want a revive in a quandary, expressed here for discussion:
~2 Seconds - Successful Revive 100%: Back to the battle and fighting (disoriented)
~5 Seconds - Respawn on perfect uplink: return to battle after brief spawn-in
~10 Seconds - Successful Revive 30/50%: Back to battle and wounded (disoriented, then 10 seconds to restore HP)
~30 Seconds - Respawn and return to location (May be longer, Probably not shorter)
+30 Seconds to above - Bleed-out for a medic that never delivers
The value of a revive (dropsuit and fitting, clone, instantly back at battle) are undeniable. I tip a medic that I can identify 50k/100k if they do a reasonable job and save my suit. My advice: announce yourself in the team channel early so that I can find you and fight beside you; coordinate on voice comms and run with a tight squad (I love medics in my squad), and remember I may be changing fits or re-positioning, knowing that I was going to die in a situation.
Could the Medics tell us what situations are perfect for revives? when should we pass on a revive and respawn?

Good point, it's very likely that someone has a firing angle directly over my body.

An aside:
I generally use the X to alert people to the fact that there is someone is killing someone nearby. I'm DUST's unofficial canary in a coal mine.

While there are many valid points here, I always carry at least an advanced needle (usually proto.)
To say the needles are a waste is a bit ignorant. I can pick a heavy back up, on the point with >1200 hp and save them 100-150k if they are proto. While you are right that if you go down, chances are the person who killed you is still watching over your body, but I am one of those rare logis who can shoot too.
My best advice is, press x and wait a few seconds. Thats all I need to down someone and run towards you. If you dont see someone coming in 5-10 seconds, respawn. If the do start running and stop slighty short of you, they are probably duking it out with someone. At this point it may be more benificial to respawn on a nearby link and help, but also remember he just risked his @$$ to save you.
And last but not least, if you are in mlt/std gear, DONT press x. Not unless you know the area is clear and the logi is standing on top of you. I rather not risk my 100k suit to pick up your $h1t fit.

Good snipers (real ones at least) won't give the opportunity for revive. Gotta shoot the dead body.

No. I will not. It's pointless to hit X because what good will it do? Medics are useless, they are not logis, they are cruel bastards. The only time I hit X is if I'm getting pubstomped and just want to watch the medic die. You may be a nice guy, I'm sure you are, but please, choose another profession.

Fair point - but am I right in thinking you didn't have to hit X a while back? probably accounts for some of the forgetfulness..

If your a logi let the Assaults in your squad carry a needle. You carry the good stuff. And don't stop repping. If he goes around a corner your a$$ goes around a corner. |

Hit X anyways! I run a cloak scout with a needle and the X tells me someone died over there. I will try to get there and needle (This happens a lot) but I will first stalk in all slow like to shoot the first few reds I see.
Also, I sometimes will pick you up to simply fire those 10 bullets you will get out before dying again. Then I can do my super jump during that distraction and go ace your killer. Press X and be a team player. If no one is near, O it out. I just hate killing the last enemy on a point knee deep in bodies with 50 clones on the counter and no one on my side presses X.
Now to start shotgunning and REing again, everyone will love this play style. Face Palm!
