So, yesterday a rogue 100-0% me through die by the sword in the window of shadowy duel.
a) rogue is broken
b) die by the sword is weak
c) both options above

Just gonna assume you got cheap shot through parry, turning parry into a pitiful 30% wall. Still wish we could see the death log to know what he pressed after spending most of his energy on duel and then cheap
Thats exactly what happened, i don’t remember if it was kidney or cheap, but i was stunned through DBTS, it was about 3 seconds by the way
i should print, next time i do it
A 30% wall and parry on a 90sec cd is not weak. Cheap shot is just a counter paired with rogues dmg still being overtuned.

depending on the context it really isn’t a weak skill.
within the context were the skill is practically your only defense, I consider it below average.

Meh you got disarm (should be taking that vs rogue), rally, fear (mostly used as a defensive with warriors vs setup comps) and whatever the 30sec victory rush is called. Warriors have plenty of defensives with out even labeling using things like leap/intervene to escape as a pseudo defensive.

he trinket
i barely, I almost couldn’t use die by the sword, in the moment i saw shadowy duel i knew i could disarm but he has trinket, then i did die by the sword at 100% HP but died regardless
So where was your tinket?

burn it on the sap/blind start.
Bad player bad posts arena forums 24/7 thanks for upholding the standard
You misplayed and lost so you really felt the need to make a whole thread and suggest your class get buffed 
Time to pull out your reddit tier paragraph posts to argue

Sure, pre-wall before stun being 100%-0% afterwards its for sure a misplay.
double it and give it to the next person

i don’ understand
my partner healer were sapped/blinded, while i had to trinket stun because i was being demolished, then he vanished and did what i described it
They need to give ignore pain back to Arms, make so you have to chose between ignore pain and fueled by violence.

Let me see if I understand if this is fair.
Die By The Sword only works in physical melee (parry) which means it doesn’t work in about 70-80% of the game’s specs.
The few times Die By The Sword works is against classes like rogue, which by the way has a skill that counters my only defense being arms.
It doesn’t seem fair.
Caster , Caster , Caster, Melee/hibrid, eyebeam passing through, templar verdict passing through,… Wow finally a rogue… * cheap shot * whats the point of die by the sword restrictions

Ya things have counters, its good for the game. The problem here is a miss play by your team in combination with rogue dmg being overtuned currently equals you died.
Were you even in defensive stance, could you have leaped away when he vanished (not an easy thing to notice but still viable strat)?

Did… Did your healer trinket sap into a full blind? Cuz if you both trinketed opener one of you is super dead next dr, which is what happened. Dunno if the meta is still to bladestorm on sap or if berserker shout is the play now
He sits on sap and trinketd blind, he could trinketed sap into a full blind, regardless i had to trinket in order to survive
What was the matchup?
I like how no one understood what the op meant when he said he trinketed early, and explained that he didnt trinket sap/blind, but rather trinketed an early stun when his healer was getting sap/blinded. They just immediately went to calling him a bad player instead
