    Ok most players know the support gets juice the quickest with the heal beam
    but which class should be the one killing bots to get juice the quickest and most effective?

    Assassin (slash attacks) - turret wrecker
    Assault (grenade launcher)- pro killer
    tank (jet flame/deploy) - balanced
    gunner (motar) - pro killer/turret wrecker
    sniper (explosive shots) - pro killer

    though each class can melee bots for juice.. which class should be the one trying to get juice and telling the other pros to stay away?

    Tank seams to have the worst time trying to get juice unless he deploys in the line of fire and absorbs some pink bullets

    Sniper seams to be the one that gets it the easiest with little effort

    In present era PM's I view it like this;

    Assassin - has no problem at all at any point, the only thing that is a problem is too much death. They focus on bots anyway, and can slay pretty well in certain cases.
    Assault - needs it pretty badly, as he can usually use it the best. I usually try to coordinate letting a bot wave get through so that he can punch them if we have really good map control and need him to get juice to finish a push or it is nearing overtime.
    Gunner - REALLY needs it, but is too busy with other tasks so I don't usually try to help here. Will only really get juice if he is very dominant.
    Support - Can just heal everything, and can bot punch if needed. Usually his fate is tied with his gunners so it really depends on how well the gunner does to decide if he gets juice. He is the most reliant on another to decide his juice level.
    Sniper - If the enemy assault is contained\occupied he has the easiest time of juice gain with explosive shot. If the enemy assault is running rampant, he will have a very very hard time.
    Tank - he actually has a very easy time if there is map control. Just get into the assassin lane and make sure the sniper is contained. He can let bots go slightly back and just punch them, then death blossom to clean up.

    For tank, I would recommend simply firing level three product grenades at waves of oncoming bots to build juice, as it is an efficient way of clearing bots as well as... uh, building juice. You're far too susceptible on Ammo Mule and Steel Peel while punching bots due to the wide-open nature of those maps in combination with the tank's bulky, egg-like armor. Assaults also have a generally easy time getting around on Steel Peel.

    I agree bot punching for a tank is a bad idea on Ammo Mule unless you are completely dominant. It tends to work on Razer, but it can on steel peel if the enemy sniper is contained.

    Just to be silly, when I host I am going to add G3 to the rotation of maps.

    If everybody on your team is having a perfect game, the assassin should have juiced the most, probably followed by the sniper.

    EDIT: Forgot support. Support probably would juice the 2nd most after assassin, then sniper.

    ok leave support out of the equation cause he heals for juice...

    im saying which class should kill bots for juice and benefits most from it?
    assassin- if you need to breach defence juice is most important
    gunner- is it really needed since your overhealed and get most kills with ease?
    tank- too much work trying to build off it and its quicker to deploy on a gremlin
    assault- this is the class i think needs it the most since hes the most versitile
    sniper- this would be another class..

    in my mind.. assassin, assault, sniper.
    but on a team which do you give it to?

    On a team, it depends on the team.
    Some teams can have their assault do whatever he wants without juice (Chron, Shammas, Gunked, Miracle, etc.) but others might be a little weaker and he will need the juice to pull off a play because he is otherwise shutdown (me).

    Otherwise, assassin will just get juice, so will sniper if he shoots bots for 10 seconds. Everyone else will have to change their main function too much to get juice of off bots except for completely pinned tanks, so no one will really be using bots to gets juice...

    Sniper, Assassin and Tank. Sometimes the assault will try to do so, but it's usually a waste of time and map control.

    If the other team's assassin is pushing bots way past her map control and I am playing assassin, instead of killing those bots, I'll tell my gunner and assault wahts going on and let them melee those bots if they want. Otherwise, assassin benefits from bot slaying the most.
