I think Isida is at its best in No Supplies. A healing Isida is of great value in any game, but more so in a No Supplies game since there is no alternative way of healing, for the team, than what the Isida can give. Isida consequently is at its best when drugging isnt possible.
Those who use Isida as an attac weapon generally combine it to an heavier hull, often Viking.
However those who use Isida as a healer and uses it as a weapon only when in danger, better uses lighter hulls like Wasp and Hornet.
In confrontating a well armed enemy with a good weapon You have to have a good hull yourself (for example Viking). But when it comes to heal as many team-mates as possible in as short time as possible at different places all over the map, high speed is better than heavy hull.
In order to be a good Isida-healer-helper You have to know were all of your team-mates are all the time, so that You can check their health and help them. Not all Isidas realise that team-mates may exist in directions they doesnt look. So they dont think there is any reason to look around either! I call them noobs. But at my rank I have noticed that the noobs with Isida is a lot fewer than it is at lower ranks.
When it comes to to Control Points in small maps, that is when there is only one Control Point on the map, Isida is often used in combination with a very heavy hull. Very much damage is dealt in small CP-maps even in No Supplies games.
I believe that one helping Isida out of four or five in a team, is the best proportion in a standard CTF-map, but the more damage dealt in a map the more Isidas is needed. The bigger the map and the fever the team-mates spread over it, the harder it is for a healing Isida to get a decent amount of points and crystals.
