Full i90 PLD should not get gibbed by Twintania from full HP.

[Low_Kick]

I run with a static group that does T5 via 1 tank method, which we use an i90 PLD. The first post here just looks like a rant and the OP didn't ask for any advice so I won't give any, but I do know why OP gets killed by DS+ right before divebomb phase and I know how to avoid it. Has nothing to do with being PLD vs WAR tanking, nor the healers.

Even without absolutely no help from healers, if you pop/have active a single buff(bulwark, sentinel, foresight, rampart) or SS yourself before DS hits, you will not die with full HP.
WILL NOT.

And no, DS, plummet and AA will never activate within .5 seconds lol. Not even close. DS's cast alone takes longer than .5 seconds. Nice try dude. Ask questions, cool. Don't insinuate

something else is wrong apart from your lack of experience tanking twin.

Thats not true actually. Bulwark can fail spectacularly, leading to oneshot. The chances of all hits not blocking/parrying are small but it CAN fail, in all the tries/kills i did, that happened a grand total of 2 times but its possible.

Idk if this has been brought up yet, lots of pages to this thread and didnt read them all. Is it possible you didnt have the ROH debuff up? Thats 10% strength right there. I made this ridiculous mistake, for the first time hopefully, the other night. I felt like something wasnt right, checked the video afterwards, and sure enough, ROH wore off right when DS came a few seconds later. How do you let that happen you ask? Well, number one, being terrible. lol. But no really, it was during the dreads, and im guessing i got to savage blade on twin, so dread dropped, i stunned, i probably did a stoneskin, maybe threw a shield lob on dread bc it was taking longer to die than expected, then popped a cd, started the ROH rotation, and just didnt quite get to the final part of my combo. I dropped like a sac of potatoes, and I had rampart and conva up. But yeah, def a derp, but that couldve been what happened to you. I know rampart was active bc I threw it up before the DS cast, but im guessing I just didnt have any other healer shields on me, and maybe I got unlucky and got critted, but yeah, I know not having ROH up had its part to play in my insta dying

If you're out of range when TT casts Death Sentence (when moving after bomb), it will cast but not hit until it moves in range, and then all 3 will hit you at the same time.

Irony of your post.

how does RoH ever wear off? you spam that combo...

read my post again. and yeah i know its bad but it can definitely happen if you got a lot of other things you are focused on combod with tunnel vision that hours of raiding and no sleep can give. the thing is that ROH itself wont give the debuff, its got to be combod. its even possible that i screwed my combo up at some point. i dont remember how it happened but watching the video later it definitely wasnt on when i got one shotted. unlikely, but its also unlikely to get one shotted by DS, so its a possibility that this tank made the same mistake.

EDIT: its very possible that the combo could have been screwed up due to using stoneskin. stoneskin will reset the combo. but again, its a pretty derpy thing to do and hard to do, given that the debuff last 20 sec. unlikely, but possible.
