    I tank A1S in Sword Oath with full Slaying (around 16-17k hp) and have no trouble with the tank buster.

    1st tank buster: Shield Oath + Rampart (preferably up for the cleave right before the TB) + Sentinel
    2nd tank buster: Hallowed Ground (no oath switch needed)
    3rd tank buster: we don't even get this far anymore, but same as the first

    I do tank Faust in pentamelds because of the spike damage; I solo tank and our WHM solo heals him.

    @OP - I tank Thordan EX in pentamelded accessories because I feel Slaying puts too much pressure on the healers in a fight that's already fairly healing intensive. I'd buy Slaying accessories if you really need to spend Esoterics now, but there's no telling what 3.2 will bring us so you may want to wait if you can. Eso will be unlocked at that point though, as pointed out by a previous poster, so you won't have to worry too much about it being hard to farm them up. If you threw a couple of i190 Fending accessories on with your shiny Esoterics Slaying accessories though, you should have enough HP to MT Thordan EX.
