Frenzy is a skill that makes you attack faster and take double damage. Healing signet is a ... well, a signet skill that heals you, but while casting, you take double damage. So, when you use these skills as you are being attacked, you are taking much more damage than normal. Also, using healing signet during the frenzy wastes the extra attack speed of frenzy, since you are casting and not fighting.

The skill descriptions will tell you that while using those skills, your armor level is decreased by 40. This is equivalent to doubling the damage you take.

Always use a skill that that buffs your armor level before using healing signet. Something like "Watch Youself" or "Dolyak Signet" before you use healing signet. There are armors that have higher AL than 80, Berkserker?(not sure if thats the correct set) has a base of 90 +10AL vs physical attacks. Also the Sentinal has a base AL of 100, if you have 13 in strength. So healing signet does not make you take double damage.

As unda dawg said, casting healing signet while using frenzy is BAD.

Um... Yes it does. You take double damage compared to what you would take if you didn't use Healing Signet. It reduces yoiur armor by 40AL, which ALWAYS results in doubling the damage.

Both are good skills to use, but only use frenzy when your above 75% health and use healing sig when your above 10% health, otherwise your going to likely die. If you have a healer in your group, dont heal yourself then unless you in the 10% - 20% range.
