I've put the PvP abilities on my bar already - though I guess it goes without saying that I'm not really sure when the best time to use them is. I forget the name of it, but the aoe skillspeed slow move seems especially hard to use since the radius is pretty small. I've been using that to help myself out when I've been getting tunnelled mostly. Probably not what its for.

As for the healing itself, in the few solo queue games I did, it was pretty much aspected benefic spam. I can't get casts off with melee sitting on me the entire time and it feels like it's the only option outside of cooldowns. Though I guess this is hardly a unique and special problem for AST, heh. (at least I *have* a spammable instant heal, right?)

The only game I managed to win though was one where the enemy team ignored me and let me freecast for the entire match. This tells me I must be doing something wrong on a fundamental level, but I really don't know what. (I know you say it isn't always only your fault as the healer but my current track record is 7 losses and 1 win.)
