Editors' Picks
If you doubt Liverpool’s right-back, then you’d be best advised to follow a different sport. Form is temporary but class, as they say. is very much permanent.
The Reds’ Scouse superstar certainly showed his class at Anfield on Saturday, his stoppage-time goal giving Jurgen Klopp’s men a 2-1 win over Aston Villa which keeps them firmly in the hunt for Champions League qualification.
Alexander-Arnold’s bullet, fizzed past Emi Martinez, puts Liverpool, temporarily at least, into the Premier League’s top four.
It also ended a run of eight home league matches without a win, stretching all the way back to December. 'Finally!' said Mo Salah afterwards. They may be struggling, but they’re still swinging.
The celebrations told their own story. Alexander-Arnold has been under the microscope of late, left out by England and dissected by pundits eager to justify Gareth Southgate’s conservatism.
No player has been more analysed, more criticised. This was the perfect riposte from the 22-year-old, particularly with Southgate sitting in the stands at Anfield.
His goal bore the hallmark of another home-grown hero, Steven Gerrard. How many times did Gerrard step up for Liverpool in their time of need? How many times did he deliver in front of the Kop?
Alexander-Arnold, generally, is a different player and a different person, but the similarities are striking. Big moment, big player. Technique and tenacity, and bagfuls of character.
Liverpool needed their No.66 here. They had looked like slipping to a seventh consecutive Anfield loss when Ollie Watkins fired Villa into a first-half lead. Watkins scored a hat-trick when the sides met at Villa Park in October, and he hurt the Reds again - though Alisson Becker will feel he should have done better with his shot.
VAR then ruled out, rather bizarrely, a Roberto Firmino equaliser, leaving Klopp and his players baffled at the break. Week by week, the very essence of football is poisoned further by technology.
Liverpool, at least, responded well to the frustration, Salah heading them level 12 minutes after the restart after Andy Robertson’s shot had been parried by Martinez.
That’s 28 in all competitions for the Egyptian this season, who ended a wait of more than 12 hours for an open-play goal in the Premier League at Anfield. 'We needed it,' Salah said.
Are you not entertained!? 💪🏽 pic.twitter.com/xpdQjfJeWg
— Trent Alexander-Arnold (@TrentAA) April 10, 2021Another Egyptian, Trezeguet, hit a post for Villa, while Liverpool’s threat dissipated after a lively start to the second half.
They looked leggy at times, distracted at others. “F***ing hell boys!” roared Robertson as another pass went astray in the closing stages. It looked at that stage as if they had run out of ideas.
The breakthrough would come, though.
Substitutes Thiago and Xherdan Shaqiri combined well on the right. Martinez kept out Thiago’s instinctive effort, but he didn’t get near Alexander-Arnold’s follow-up. Too good, and too important, as far as Liverpool are concerned.
They slither on. Still in the hunt domestically, they need another famous Champions League comeback here against Real Madrid on Wednesday if they are to book a place in the semi-finals, and with it a likely showdown with Chelsea.
For now, though, they will enjoy this. In a season of suffering, Alexander-Arnold ensured they went home happy this time.

A good soloing talent. Macro it with Sinister Strike like this:/cast Riposte
/cast Sinister Strike()
Does pretty decent damage and the disarm helps a bit in a pinch.
Comment by Tempo
Riposte is very underrated for the crippling effect it can have on mobs and players who use two-handed weapons, not to mention the high damage it does; if you're already using a 2.6+ speed main hand weapon for Hemorrhage, then you can't go wrong with this.It's still good against opponents who use a one-hander, because they do so little damage as it is, and with a base 10% parry rate, you can almost keep a dual-wielding enemy permanently disarmed (of their main hand weapon).
Comment by SaxxonPike
That macro will no longer work in the latest patch (2.0.1) you may want to use this macro instead:/castrandom Sinister Strike,Riposte
If you are a keyboard spammer (like myself) just keep hitting this key. It's very unlikely that you will end up casting either one for long periods of time. It's not pretty, but it does the job. Credits go to Ming for this macro.
Comment by GnarGnar
I love this talent when going down the combat tree, it greatly helps reduce the damage you can take when soloing, or in pvp. Its like a 10 energy sinister strike when it is up.
Comment by Unholysergeant
When they have their main hand weapon disarmed, then they can't use their melee abilites. (Hunters, Warriors, Rogues) As it is a requiremtn to use almost all moves, therefore severally crippling them in PvP, or even against some mobs in PvE.Comment by Thottbot
i love this talentdisarm rogue's, warrior's paladin's and make them useless for 6 seconds is evil >:)
Comment by Thottbot
Does this move happen automatically after u dodge, parry or wateva. Or do u hav to use it after u dodge parry etc.?Comment by Thottbot
I found skeletons, zombies and ghouls deal more damage disarmed than with a weapon. You expect an easier kill.. and they tear you to shreads instead. Don't use it against these type of monsters.Comment by Thottbot
1. Usually goes off at least a couple times every fight, doing about the same or more damage than Sinister Strike.2. Makes fighting armed humaniods a breeze.
3. In duels, disarming another rogue essentially ends the fight right there.
4. Has an energy cost that is practically free.
Comment by Thottbot
Being a lvl 37, you should know this by now, but that's okay. If you go into your interface options, at the bottom you can choose to show 4 more action bars, which is about as many as you will ever need. This gives you a lot more range. You will still have to press them, but you will still have the skill available. Hope this helps!Comment by Thottbot
ya its grey until you parry then it becomes highlighted...it is such a pain when you're on the receiving end of a disarm... it practically kills my rogue.Comment by Thottbot
I've never seen this skill... Maybe I missed something... I'm a lvl 50 rogue.Comment by Thottbot
I'd Like to retract my previous statement... For I am a dumb @ss that can't read till the last secondComment by Thottbot
Please note that the instant nature of this attack (Zero cooldown) has been repaired in patch 1.8. It should now use the 6 second cooldown as intended, which makes me really sad, as I would occasionally get strings of these right after another. Oh well. :)Comment by Thottbot
For those of you Rogues out there, Riposte is awesome. Check out the Riposte Alert addon that is part of luaslinger at http://kehlhet.cx/wiki I use it all the time and it rocks. It simply alerts you when riposte becomes available and you have enough energy to execute. It helps so you dont' have to stress about missing the parry when it happens!Comment by Thottbot
too abd they nerfed this talent, used to have no cooldown.. so whenever you parried a attack you could use it, disarm plus about 200 dmg instant it was mean >:) now it got 6 sec cooldown, thats a bummer : /Comment by Thottbot
i only realised my rogue could the disarm thing in his late 30s (after being disarmed so many times by defias and syndicates, i was practically praying for such a hability!) by re-arranging my talent points; it's freakin' awesome :)Comment by Thottbot
man i LOVE this in PVP. i made a pvp alt (thats right a rogue who would guess o.0) and anyway this ROCKS! sjust run right up to a war fight for a while,parry, riposte then if anyone in the vicinity is hlping you just go after some other war / pally/hunter cuz all they can do iss meele(but how can they w/o a weap ) :)Comment by Thottbot
Make sure riposte is in slot one on yer bar./script U,P,C=UnitMana,'Player',CastSpellByName
/script I,G=IsUsableAction,GetActionCooldown
/script if (U(P)>=9) and (I(1)) and (G(1)0) then C('Riposte');end;
/cast Sinister Strike
Basically, it uses riposte whenever it is available. So, while you are spamming ss, you'll automatically use riposte. Have fun!
Comment by Thottbot
This is really another nice skill and very generically useful.This is skill is mostly useful for single weapon wielding attackers (i.e. 2-handers or 1-hander + shield). This WILL remove their main-hand weapon for the duration.
Any skills that depend on having a weapon in the main hand are disabled.
Also useful for non-weapon wielders because the skill does 150% of a normal attack - even to beasts and such.
Comment by Thottbot
I used to have this ability and I thought it rocked until I started running into mobs that were immune to disarm plus dont forget Blacksmiths can make a weapon chain that grants immunity to disarm as well so Riposte is one of those moves I have decided to live without Iam specced for mainly subtlety so Ghostly strike has been my most commonly used ability when used raise my chance to dodge to a total of 40% (figure varies depending on your base chance to dodge) pair that with evasion 90% chance to dodge who cares if some one is disarmed if they cant hit you it's all the same so if your not completely combat specced then drop this skill at somepointComment by Thottbot
Well daggerman and what are you doing if you encounter a warrior? collect one overpower after another? isn't it better to be assured the warrior can't use any ability or to have a xx% dodge chance = the same 'extra' chance for the warrior to hit you. well just a thought. enjoy.Comment by Thottbot
But daggerman is right, there are several ways to become imune to disarm...If it is a chain on the weapon, or an effect on the gloves.
You dont want to completely rely on an effect, that actually doesnt affect your target at all do you?
Calculating this into your fights is what Blizzard calls balance... or so I heard :D
Comment by Thottbot
disarm is countered by: 1. steel weapon chains 2. bloodfang gloves 3. no melee weapon dependencythe disarm isn't the entire point of the attack though; it's more like a nice effect. the damage to energy ratio is absolutely insane--only 10 energy for 150% instant weapon damage!
riposte can really dominate some melee battles; it isn't so effective against pure casters or smart hunters though. it's triggered by parry, and most casters/ranged usually dont try to out-melee melee classes... so g/l w/ all those frost mage and hunter fights as a combat spec; it's gonna be tough!
Comment by Thottbot
even if the target is immune to disarm, it is still one 1 1/2 for no more then 10 energieComment by Thottbot
Can this ability really be use on the Battle grounds? That's pretty coolComment by Thottbot
If your target is immune to disarm (like weapon chain), will it still do the 150% weapon damage?Comment by Thottbot
Remember, this skill is activated whenever ANY attack gets parried by you. Yes, that means you can disarm the hunter after you parry his pet's attack. And yes, you can disarm that mage for laughs after you parry someone else's attack!
Riposte Meaning
Comment by Thottbot
Did once use Riposte on a warrior three times in a row ^^ he was disarmed quite longComment by Thottbot
in PvP:disarm the warrior/rogue etc.
he probably doesnt have high unarmed skill (atleast i dont)
that means u are probably going to parry another attack(s)
:)
Comment by Allakhazam
I could be wrong, but I think that you have a several second grace period to use the ability after a parry. Long enough to press the button or click the icon for me.Comment by Allakhazam
I disagree. I find it extremely useful. Especially when I get jumped by a warrior and I just chain disarm them. Poor bastards dont know what to do.On another note, I have an awesome scxript that I use to auto disarm. I'll post it here later, as IM not on my home machine atm.
Iposter Examples
Comment by Allakhazam
Far from useless. Instant attack, does 150% weapon damage and disarms... for 10 energy. If you're a combat spec, gotta have it.Considering that your parry percent should be up around 10, you'll get to use this once or twice a fight.
Yes, it is obviously more useful against Mobs with weapons and other players than it is against non-armed monsters, but it still does good damage for 10 energy.
At level 58 using a Thrash Blade, Riposte criticals do more damage than SS criticals--and SS is powered up to do more damage from aggression.
Comment by Allakhazam
I think, this is useless, Sometimes is good to disarm opponenet, in PvP, but against creatures without weapon its useless.I thought that it diarms target automaticly, but you have ti click on it, and this is sometimes hard, you have to be quick...
