    I made my first foray into PVP the other day as a SCH, via Shatter. Dropped heals/shields and DoTs as needed, PVP res'd + lustrated the other healers when they went down. Then someone complained about PVE revives(which I hadn't used) and blamed me, and then the healer I'd revived/healed up TWICE asked if I was even healing. Think it was a smaller premade group of friends. About a minute later: You have been dismissed from both the party and the duty.

    Haven't queued up for PVP since then, and I don't think I will if that's how it is. Should I macro five lines of USED {DIVINE BREATH} ON DEAD PERSON so they know I'm not PVE reviving?

    Ultimately, though, you gotta be kind of thick skinned with pvp. Shrug it off, take a break if it really gets to you, and keep going. Remember that the ones who talk the most *&$t are generally garbage anyways.

    If the match was going south they might have been looking for someone to blame. People are idiots. Some times the dps is just better then what you can heal this isn't 2.0 where healers could laugh in the face of dps. Everyone has burst rotations and most decent players get a little bit of luck can burst you down.


    The dot's might have been what caused the confusion about heals though. If the other healer was being so focused they might have saw casts but no heals and thought you had been casting a PvE raise. If the other healer is being focused it is best to ignore the rest of the team and try to bounce the dps between you and the other healer.

    Also sometimes I never raise anyone. No one even mentions it except the people who complain the most and they get no raises anyway. YOLOs can eat the penalty.
