Healer PVP: What works and what doesnt

[Eredhyl]

blah ...

It is hard to be a healer in the PVP game. But I tried using Miasma 2 and suddenly I won 2 games in a row. So I'm guessing I will leave the cure to my pet and lustrate and attack the other healer with it. Also swiftcast+blizzard2 seems a really good potion

PvPing as a WHM, as SCH suffers badly from no CC and also having a pet that's incapable of sprinting.

Tips!

1.) Always be aware of where the enemy tank is. Frequently, their only job is to CC you, so make sure you're always aware of where they are.

2.) Sleeping pets is an incredible way to neuter an enemy SCH or SMN.

3.) Surecast needs to be saved for when they are out of stuns/silences.

4.) Keep Medica 2 and Regen ticking as much as you can.

5.) Swiftcast Holy can save you from needing to Swiftcast a Res.

6.) Purify can save you from a full row of SMN dots AS WELL as the stun the enemy PLD just dropped on you. Use it.

7.) LoS as much as humanly possible.

Vitality! I went 30vit and wear my i90 armor/weapon with i70 Astral gear with full Vit. With food, my HP is about 5400~. I don't lose enough healing potency for it to matter, but there's tons of times where I'm knocked below 1k~ HP and able to recover when it would have been death without the Vit.

Also, as a healer, being able to eat more burst gives your team more time to kill their healer.
