Need Help with Death Sentence

[UlricCraft]

(BunnyChain summarised nicely, so follow that advice!)
As a WHM I:

- Focus Target
- Cure I & Regen rotations
- Watch as Death Sentence starts casting
- Prepare Cure II
- Continue Cure I rotation
Like yourself, E4E and Virus are rotated for each DS, but I don't bother with Stoneskin or Galvanize.

During P2 debuff:
- Medica II (lazy healing HoT mode!)
- Regen
- Divine Seal & Cure I
- Save Virus and other healer E4E.

I cast my Adlo as soon as i see the plummet animation, which is easily noticable by twin rising up. My adlo will go off right after the plummet and be ready for the DS that comes after it. If you do adlo too early, the plummet will take it right off and you will have to cast it again.
There is this beautiful spot where you can cast a physik and it will hit the tank after the DS, and not be affected by infirmity. I focus target twin, and i start casting physik when Twin's cast bar reaches the 'D' of death sentence. I almost never have to use my lustrates (unless the DS happens to do a massive amount of damage still, I only need to use it once). And the rest of my aetherflows i save for cleric stance>energy drain on conflags.

This is "prehealing", and it's an extremely useful skill. You want to time your heal so the moment of "HP healed, HP bar rises" occurs IMMEDIATELY after "HP damaged, HP bar drops". In the case of precasting Adloquium this won't apply for the hit itself if it wasn't already up, but will help protect against the following attacks so it helps stabilize.

You generally have 2 options for SCH:

If tank has at least Adlo up in advance, and HP is topped off or nearly topped off:
-Precast Adlo
-Lustrate immediately after

If your tank does not have Adlo up in advance, or their HP is not so good
-Lustrate if their HP is dangerously low
-Adlo
-"Precast" Lustrate immediately after DS hits

You might have to do the latter sometimes if you have to dodge a Twister, temporarily solo heal, or whatever. Prehealing does no good if the tank dies before the next heal goes off, so you have to make the decision on the fly. In the case of the latter, you tank should know "this is gonna hurt" and already pop a cooldown or something.

Ideally, there should be Stoneskin and Adlo on the MT before every DS. E4E is good to have up at all times if possible. Virus is good to use in case things are not prepped properly. If there is a WHM in the party, he should Stoneskin and Regen the MT.

Both healers should try to precast their heals to land just after DS damage hits and before the infirmary debuff gets applied. Then a SCH should immediately follow that up with a Lustrate.

MT will take quite a lot of damage if he does not have a defensive CD up before DS. A crit auto-attack that follows an unmitigated DS can basically KO the MT. Some advantages of a warrior MT are that he can use Storm's Path to reduce DS damage and time Inner Beast before every DS.
