Okay, you don't want to answer. That's okay, I guess. (Destiny)

I think (and I could be wrong about this) that Cyber is saying you can use a sword to block the damage that kills players who stand in the side rooms... the damage that we typically survive by passing the aura back and forth. But this is the first I've heard of it.

Wow, I had no idea! (I thought he was referencing some PS4-group in-joke with 'swads' - I don't think I'd EVER have come up with 'swords' from that.)

Not 100% sure how that would work, though; if you let the aura expire, you're faced with not just that invisible damage, but also very real damage from stuff in the room (shooting at you and meleeing you, if you're using your sword for defense only). The sword block will keep SOME of it off you... but not all.

Someone told me that the sword block will also negate the Oculus if you aren't hiding behind a totem in the Warpriest room, but I've never tried this (or seen it tried). Safer, in general, since there aren't any other things shooting at you at that point.
