In pvp, a smart party will target healers first and if you can't survive long enough for your party to kill anyone trying to kill you, then you're useless.

You need to be carful of people who when all nostrumed up, can kill you before you see them coming. It's possible to get Shaiya Gold killed with 1 skill hit, by a lvl 57+ um warrior. Health assist can save you but I find it best to only resort to that at the last possible moment.

If your party engages a powerful enemy and you die instantly, then the rest of your party is likely to die as well and you have not contributed anything to the fight.

In pvp you should NOT be attacking your enemy!

Your party needs you to keep them alive while they do the killing. If you are being attacked and cant' heal, run to your party for help. There are still spells that you can cast, to help yourself and to help your party, even if you are being attacked and can not cast regular heals. If your enemy realizes that you're not going to die as easy as they thought, they they'll probably try to kill other members of your party.

So what you should do instead of attacking your enemy, is heal, dispel your party, stay alive and occasionally debuff your enemy, if needed.

I'm not referring to situations where your party is much stronger than your enemies. You can run around dancing, for all I care, if your party doesn't need you.

I don't think I need to remind you to ALWAYS keep your party buffed, your buffs are one of the most useful things about healers!

On hard mode, you get a dread armor set for lvl 29-32, use it till you can afford to make better dreads or legends. Good lapis to put in your gear would be rec, wis, hp, def and mp lapis, even some int is ok, if you can spare the slots.
