Hey Luceid!

Strange to see people I meet in random queues on the forums... @.@;

On topic though...

Read your tool tips! Make sure you know what your skills and abilities do ahead of time. Lots of skills you rarely use in PvE are life savers in PvP.

A few White Mage tips for good measure.

Fluid Aura and Stone are incredibly useful for opening up gaps on Melee that are trying to eat your kupo nuts.

Also, Stay Calm and Don't Blink! The best laid plans will not survive first contact with the other team. So think on your toes, and make quick decisions. Don't get discouraged if your perfectly thought out combo of Fluid Aura into Repose x3 into Stone gets borked by a random "helpful" DPS! Just always plan ahead and know where your safe zones are. (Places to get out of LoS.)

Improvise! Improvise! Improvise! Be unpredictable, try new things. Swift Cast has more uses then just Repose. Divine Seal with Swift Cast and Medica II coupled with a Regen, and you are well on your way to not needing a heal for 30+ seconds.

Don't hold onto your cool downs. Presence of Mind and Esuna Spam after ducking around a corner will clean a lot of DoT spells off you, or allow you to remove sleeps from your team mates faster before the bum rush on you happens, allowing them time to peal. (Get the bad guys off you).

Finally Keep your chin up! You will die, your team mates will die. Lots. PvP as a healer is pretty unforgiving at the moment, but with practice you can keep on trucking. Simple things like always knowing when your CDs come up or being out of LoS of the other team as much as you can, will save you a lot of grief.

Thanks for reading, and lets keep doing our best to keep the PvP community positive!
