PVP Noob Question

[Rinion]

Hi! I started doing pvp yesterday (to get the Garo outfits) as sch (as that's my main) but cleric stance doesn't work? Do I need to do something specific in PVP or does it just not work because I don't see how I'm supposed to really add to DPS so I tend to just stick with Miasma/shadow flare for the debuffs.

Healers don't get cleric stance in PVP as it would be far too OP. Focus your efforts on healing rather than dps, but if you need too just stick to your regular dots.

How about hmm healing?

[Rinion]

Don't worry, I do focus on healing =) But the few matches I've been in have I guess been quite tame (as in, I was standing there and no one in my alliances were getting hurt) or my alliances have been spread across half the map at which point it's difficult to do so. But, now that you mention it, I can see how having cleric stance could be a bit much as well. Would replacing it with Surecast be a viable option (I've had a couple white mages holy spamming around the giant ice/rock/crystal things)?

Edit: Also! if I manage to succor and the galvanize is more than the Holy damage, will Holy still stun my team?

Surecast is a really nice option in PvP, especially if you're doing feast.

As far as holy spam, all that does is make your melee immune to stun quicker.

Cool! Thank you =)

I love it when healers do this:

Healer: Holy
DPS: Kiilling Healer
Healer: NOOOO! They're killing us, Holy faster! Holy Faster!

if cleric was given to PvPers, can you imagine a full team with only healers? The game would be broken. At least in PvP healer are expected to heal and not dps since there are A LOT of spike damage...

Better question: Why are you standing so close to ice that you are getting hit by a holy? Don't do that. It's a ranged/mage LB breeding ground. Feel free to position Eos, but not yourself. Also: The Miamas don't apply Heavy in PVP. Read the tooltips

First part is exactly why Clerics was disabled in PVP. There wasn't -that- much spike damage at a time. Hells, i'd still be #1 in kills due to knock back until 3.0.
