yes bard is powerful and yes you need to know how he bursts to be able to counter heal, you have lots of pvp skills that can help with that too, purify is the single most powerful skill in pvp, sacred prism lasts a while and gives you a lot of physical damage protection.

BUT DO NOT SWIFTCAST STONE.......... JUST DONT DO IT........ PLEASE.........
Person was running away so I did that so others could kill them, when you do frontline, all you can do is heal and be annoying to others, a bit boring at times.

Basically it was a 1 on 1 with trying allow others to catch them, so if I cant do damage at all as a healer, why do I die so easily? After the stone landed they tuned around and killed me without me being able to do anything.

Also Holmgang is a free kill, when that is used on me I am unable to move or cast anything? it confuses me, I just sit there unable do nothing till I die

You are saying you had the time to swiftcast a stone on him, so that means even though tetra was on cooldown you could have possibly survived by swiftcasting a Cure 2 instead. Attunement is also an option.
What I said was all was used,, there was no buffs, the person turned around after i hit them with stone and I was dead before my GC was ready.

Can you explain what you are talking about? Your reply does not fit what I said.
