Bit of a thread res, but I want to point out that there are distinct times where Flax is useful when holding a building or point. There are several times where I've been pinned down (usually as medic), with grenades dropping at my feet every few seconds.

I can usually run and make space so I don't die, but sometimes that requires me to cross enemy and/or friendly fire to avoid the grenade. Having the luxury of soaking a grenade (or even two) while trying to pull off that MAX resurrect can arguably make the difference between a held point and a wiped point.
