Medic's fleet of foot - Boosts teammate's running speed. It's rank 3.

I considered this but it seems situational at best and better medic abilities.

This statement makes no sense seeing as a Heavy body type will have alot more pips to continually buff and resupply there team if you were going to compose a complete support class I think you would want to be a heavy for the extra pips getting to an objective before anyone doesnt really matter if your focused on support only.

I believe they changed it to all bodytypes have the same pips and pip regen rate awhile ago.

Precisely.

Really Horses wiki still has it saying that from what I was just reading just read a few quotes talking about it. Anyways why would they do that it completely negates one of the biggest benefits to being a heavy over a light or medium.

It was unbalanced that is why it was changed.

I guess I feel like while you could play a purely support based role, there would be a lot of time spent doing nothing because you have limited supplies to help others. If you use all of your supplies buffing health or setting up a turret, then what do you do? You can play a support role to it's maximum effectiveness and still shoot enemies while you are waiting for your supplies to recharge. I'd say you would actually be degrading your effectiveness were you to never fire a shot, as you are essentially throwing away 2 fully loaded guns which could be used to ward off, pin down, and kill the enemy.

I'm sure it's doable, I just see no reason why you would.

Well I always advocating killing the enemy. Just playing of the concept of playing without killing.
