Had a close PvP fight against an Earthen Bulwark Pulverize Druid who almost took me down with insane damage
Nicely done! Making the tribe proud.
However…isn’t this basically like most fights when its Rogue v anything not rogue? It’s close, then some dodge, their defensives eventually go away in the CD window and rogue 1 shots for the win!
The Earthen Bulwark Barrier + fortify makes it quite tough to burst down Pulverize Druid, that was a really close fight as my health bar were also very low.
There was never a doubt in my mind you were going to win while watching it. 
seriously though, it’s all about druid mistiming the bulwark, and the late click of button means window open to torpedo the death star through the tiny exhaust port.
Yes, I thought I was gonna lose it too, because my potion was still on cooldown, and my health bar are dropping so fast with that insane Pulverize damage, luckily his barrier and fortify were gone, and I could took him down.
Poison is busted and bypasses barriers. I PvP on both Druid and Rogue. Rogue should win the fight.
I’m not 100% sure, fights happen too fast. Recently encountered bulwark armed with pestilent points, I’m not sure if he just re-buffed his bulwark to get the poison off or if it never went through bulwark.
Looked like maybe temerity pants too. Either way, wasn’t ‘green’.
I could be wrong, this is purely observation and when zipping around the screen hard to tell.
Did you manage to burst down that Druid you encountered with poison rogue when he used Earthen Bulwark to gain barrier and fortify?
Sadly in this case no, I let down Rogue Nation.
I had speed farming gear on and was focused on getting an Abomination down so my timing of imbuements and such (also didn’t have extra armor) meant I got out played.
It did not seem like though that I was poisioning though in the 2 times I did imbue and shadow step. Again, at least the Druid wasn’t green visually.
I’m really not sure if the last patch update about barriers means as characters (not the monsters) if we get to stop the poision if our barrier is on or not.
No worries, Rogue Nation is strong, Just continue to tune up your poison build.

rogue is just OP. kills the fun in PVP for me honestly. rogue poison is just laughably ridiculous. melts everything. hopefully they fix resistances and it will nerf rogues BS in PVP
I’m pretty sure the resists will hamper rogue a lot. I see the existing barb builds that already use current poison resists and it does put a dent in damage.
However, you should know that in pinnacle PVP play poison loses to proper barb build. So it’s a bit of rock/paper/scissors.
