Is there any help for not just being a dead target in PVP?

There's a couple of "instincts" that you should train in frontlines if you want to be successful.

Seeing the same part of the map for too long means you're losing. You don't wanna be stuck in the same place if you can help it.

You always want to be keeping tabs on how many teammates are around you at any given time. If you look around and you're outnumbered, you're about to get rolled.

The next logical question would be, "Where did they go?" Having your map open (on PC you do this by clicking the compass) will help with this.

Potion use is super important. It's very difficult for healers to save you from a sticky situation if you don't use them, I look at them as a supplement to the healers.

If you're ranged and you are closer to the enemies than the tank is, you need to fix one of those conditions.

"Additional" Pvp actions are super important and should not just be ignored.

Smite is at its highest potency when the target is about 30% HP, you want to be super careful when your health dips that low.
