Healer Survival Tips?

Had a rough week so far in 4v4 ranked and have been trying to think about what I can do to stay alive when focused. Some games it just doesn't feel like I have time to react and counter the burst coming in.

Things I have tried (I play an AST):
- I try and Purify into Attunement, but some games I am already at 10% by the time I Attune.
- I try and Swiftcast a Blizzard to bind the melee and kite away, but that only delays things a little.
- Lightspeed doesn't save me from stun into silence.
- Synastry does help Aspected Benefic a bit, but feels wasted using it only to self heal (and usually I would have to preemptively cast it on a teammate.

Any tips would be appreciated.

Join up dude! We have also helped Kori (what a lovely girl), who also plays AST. So do I too.

Since you are on Balmung, it will be easy for us to set up the games for you to practice in too. :)
