SCH in PvP Wolves Den synched i80

[Selli]

I don't really play SCH, I do play WHM and AST so I'll do the best I can.

1. What gear should I be wearing? I think morale doesn't do anything in the synch i80, is that true? Should I be wearing VIT or SS instead of MND accessories? Is melding necessary?

I wouldn't worry too much about morale gear since it's just for fun anyway. Whenever I do WD I always use my PvE gear.

SS as in skill speed? Or SS as in spell speed? Because healing accessories still have spell speed... If you mean INT accessories, no. Absolutely not. You're the only one healing your group, so they need your heals. As for VIT, I personally only use VIT earrings on all of my classes for PvP. The ones I have are vit, crit, and det. I only use one, but the amount you want to use is completely up to you. Do keep in mind the more VIT you have the lower your heals are going to be, though as you are losing MND to gain VIT. Most healers I see stack crit and det in PvP for healing accessories, though.

If you use PvP accessories, yeah they should probably be melded if you intend to use them in the WD. But they're very different from PvE accessories as PvP has its own materia which boosts your resistances (as a healer stuns, sleeps, and silences are what you'd want to build resistances to as those are things you can't esuna/leech off). I'm not even sure if PvE melds work in PvP. o.o

2. What is the best way to keep everyone on my team alive? Any strategies or priorites? Any helpful macros to prevent me from fat-fingering critical stuff?

I don't use macros at all, so I'm not too sure about any. Maybe mouse-over macros for your fairy? Or having her heal the person you adlo?

As a SCH your instant heals and your fairy will be important. As a healer you're going to be chased... a lot. So standing still is going to make you a sitting duck. When it is safe to stand still to heal, do so, but most of the time you will be running in circles. So having control of your pet will be very important as she might be the only thing healing for periods of time.

Also raise as often as possible. If you're still alive and someone goes down, use your PvP raise. If that's on CD use your PvE raise (even though that is super not ideal for PvP at all). The more people on your team alive the better as the more people the enemy has to fight, and it makes it a bit harder for them to focus one person. I remember fighting an AST once who kept swiftcasting raises on her team and even though she couldn't keep them alive for very long, the fact that they were up meant that we had to get one of our DPS off of her to go kill them. It helped her survive for a long time.

Also Miasma II when you are being chased and throw out things like Bio when you can. Instant cast damage spells will help out your DPS and things with debuffs will help CC the enemy team, especially heavies.

3. Which faerie should I be using? I need to be mirco-managing her but which skills should I use in what situations if I get cc'd? Also, should I place her somewhere or keep her with me?

Since you're healing alone and there's a lot of damage, most people use Eos. Selene's Silence is pretty... meh and her AoE esuna I find more useful in 72-man PvP. Her speed boost can be pretty useful, but I think Eos's healing support is much more useful.

Iirc, you can't use pet actions while CC'd? I don't play SCH at all and I rarely play SMN, so I'm not too sure. :x I'd try to keep her buffs up as often as possible. I wouldn't really use her on sic either since having her blow all the buffs at once wouldn't really help you that much.

She should be with you. If she sits by herself, she'll just get DoTed up by everyone until she dies. And she won't be able to heal you behind the wall with it in the way.

4. Oh, gawd, anything in the way of general advice. Please. I'm so scared but I wanna try it. >.<

Don't be scared. I was nervous my first time in the WD, but it was really fun. I also went in with 8 friends so I told them to go easy on me... which they did not, don't trust friends, LOL. But the experience is very unique and fun, it'll get really intense and you're adrenaline will be going, but it's great. Especially when you're with people you know so you can give each other pointers and cheer each other on.
