Increase health, maybe?

I'm just have this feeling that battle should take longer then the blink of an eye. It feels like I'm playing sudden death, except me, as a Shadow Chaser, have to play with what feels like 1 hp against someone with 50k...
I probably could kill some people, but somehow, even Shadow Formation fails me even if I have established a connection before the damage hits me.
I am ashamed to say it, but Jaye is right, battle was more fun before, at least then you could survive long enough to use strategy rather then first hit kills.
My gears arn't great, but I have 40% reduction and 10% neutral and 20k hp, but it seems useless, I could just skip out on all HP increasing gear and go for speed, maybe then I could at least outrun them.
This is probably a useless thread and I probably will get flamed to crisps over it.

So, I'm starting to get decent gear, decent level, decent skills, but I still can't last more then 1 sec against anyone in PvP, I have 20k HP but any GX, RK, Genetic, Sura, RG kills me in a second, most often with 1 hit.

Hiya there, from a class truly having an horrible HP mod, and made ofglass overall xP.
While I agree that the new skills an over all balance is bad, your case is not lost: you are a shadow chaser, the class with the second best HP mod (aka, the only thing with a better HP is a rune knight), instant deviating damage to someone else, and annoying disables. With a bit of leveling, practice and gear, you will enjoy playing pvp a lot more. You may be suffering from trying to face high leveled charas on a low leveled chaser, or you have a vitless build.

At a higher level you'll have a very strategic character that can piss ANYONE off.

And yeah, like everyone else is suggesting. Get to lv150 first, then complain on whether you're squishy or not compared to other classes.
You'll also eventually learn that as you gain more levels, your job in WoE won't be to kill people. It's to disable people while under the cover of chaos. Running up to someone alone means you aren't going to be doing anything effective.
If you're dying while engaging someone alone, then either you're picking the wrong class to engage or you didn't use Shadow Form in the right sequence of the encounter.

Then constantly getting killed by a single stroke from an enemy.
I just simply wanted to know if it would be like this from now on or if it would improve with levels.
Sorry for being oblivious about all the health modes. >_>

Depends on the territory though. Ymir seems to have less bad players who still attack a SF spamming Chaser in a precast. :VYes you can, also masqueraded. So you gotta be careful when you use it. It's a very noobish tactic(yet effective vs bad players and there are tons of them) to just spam shadow form on everything.
