- Communication is important! Communicate with your team when they should back up to be healed, if they should stand still, and so on.

- Be careful when using buffs and heals since you can also target monsters, corpses and enemy players.

- Pre-buff your team before a PvP encounter.

- Be sure you have campfires when entering a dungeon to enable you to replenish your spell casts when needed.

- You can increase your spell casting efficiency during PvP fights by pre-charging and holding the cast while waiting for the right opportunity to cast a heal for example.

- Only class with the ability to resurrect fallen allies without the need of a Sacrificial Altar.
