In PVP I'd sing VoV, I think the speedup is the same as warsong (sad huh?)
but it's buffs are a bit better
My combo for fighting a melee class PVP: (just substitute VoV for Warsong
since you're 50 and Nivs for Healing)
Warsong, HoR, Psalm... (I will choose the appropriate Psalm based on the
most frequently used weapon/proc)
I throw in a cancel magic on THEM a couple times to knock out any and all of
their buffs. Meanwhile mine are constantly refreshed. They tear themselves
up on my dmg shields while I am constantly healing myself as well as hurting
them.
Works pretty well, don't bother using Chain till they're below 50% health.
I dunno if anyone else has noticed but things seem to get resisted less when
someone/thing is below 50% health.
