solo on PVP server - dampen magic always?Follow

Simple question, I'm guessing the answer is yes, but keep dampen magic on yourself at all times when soloing?

My only looming question is dampen magic + health potions. I doubt health potions are affected (consumable, not "magic") but I believe tooltip says "reduces all healing taken" so I wasnt sure if I should be disabling this buff for melee fights.

I leveled 1-50+++ then 58-70 on a well established day 1 pvp server. I did not have to keep dampen up all the time. Maybe because I decided that going into STV was just asking for it, so I went to other less congested zones. AOE grinding also allowed me to gain max exp, mostly its other mages or small groups of people trying to quest. Whenever I see one I go back to town clear my bags rest up and go again. Ganking happens, its just part of it and in the case of getting camped I just log off and go do something else.

I do keep dampen up while in BGs, the amount of spells flying around is just astrotious pocket healer included or not.
