Is line of sight considered dishonorable in a duel?

I call those people sore loosers.

Why isnt he letting me hit him and win?!?!?!?!?!?!!?

Taboos against LoS aren't really about fairness so much as creating an environment where duels don't last 20 minutes. Any class is able to extend the duel into an infinite stalemate through self-heals and LoS. It's trivially easy to stay alive forever against a single player when you can run around a pillar since it's so effective at mitigating damage and costs 0 resources.

As usual though, anything goes in open world and BGs.

Ah, this brings back memories of people arguing about whether potions were 'allowed' or not in WoW duels.

only true honorable fights are those using off-meta sets.

This.

Most of the dishonorable actions are based around the fact that they would make the duel last forever if both players did it, so to avoid wasting everyone’s time those things are banned.

Some things are so strong that they automatically determine who wins the fight. Resource poisons are an example of this.
