Need Help with Death Sentence

[Anova]

Any Death Sentence can potentially one-shot a tank. Any form of damage mitigation you can throw on it will be useful. The tank should be saving all their CDs for handling DS. If they're still getting oneshot, it might be better to get some more i90 gear and vit food.

Assuming you have all the gear and everything, I personally find myself using adlo more than physick on this fight. Adloquium should be cast before the death sentence begins casting as it takes a small window of time for the barrier effect to actually register. The same obviously applies to virus, sacred soil, and e4e, which have even longer time lags until they are effective. Stoneskin apparently can be cast before or after death sentence though. if you can throw up an adlo every time before a ds, it will improve survivability.

Use sacred soil or lustrate at your discretion. The point though is that the tank should never be taking a ds without some form of defense buff. If your tank can't get enough buffs on them, a soil might be enough to keep him alive. Essentially, if you have an unused aetherflow stack, feel free to throw a soil down.

There are also some timer mods that track death sentence among other things (divebombs, conflag, etc) you can use. I can't recommend any specific program yet, although the keywords to search for them are "twintania timer death sentence mod". Because DS is inconsistent, the mods generally give you a warning that a DS will be incoming within the next 30 seconds though. Use it how you will.
