Twintania + Death Sentance (War)

[Leonus]

What is really weird is seeing you call it (holmgang) a DR move. Never really looked at it that way, since it doesn't reduce damage until the incoming attack would have killed you. So I just viewed it as a really risky "oh sh#t" button.

That's because it is just an oh shit button.

Using it as Kitru describes is possible, but foolhardy. Holmgang only lasts for 6 seconds and has an animation time. So you're probably going to get 3-4 seconds after the hit in which your healers need to get you back up to a point where you're not going to die as soon as it wears off. You've also had to have your healers deliberately not heal the tank for several GCDs to let his health get low enough for this to work, and what if you time it wrong? Someone gets a lag spike and now your attempt on Twintania is over because you felt like being fancy?
