Emperor's Ward / Warped Flesh worth it?

[schizo]

The title is self-explanatory. How viable are these tactics in PvP?
I play KotBS, if it matters.

They are ok tactic as you are leveling. As kotbs though, once you reach higher level, you'll have a ton of tactics that are wayyyyyy better then Emperor's Ward. So no, at level 40 in PvP you will not use it.

They are worth while. if you do the math on it they help you be tankier.

[TenTonHammer]

Their not worth it in later levels, thier are just much better , stronger tactics that you can use and their exist better tactics or options for becoming tankier

And furthermore the tatics absorption value does no scale that well so later down the line all it will defend is 1 aa

Currently I've done some play testing and absorbs are now affected by resists and armor value's...

The tactic is worthwhile. Its not balls out amazing but it has its place.

In what universe ? Rugged is better. Encouraged Aim is better. Dirty Tricks is better. Slice through is better. Focused Mending is better. Banish Darkness is better. Gilded Shield is better. Coordination is better. Runefang is better.

I just really fail to see in what setup would someone use Emperor's Ward... Maybe as solo 2h instead of Banish Darkness. Go with EW, Runefang, EA and Rugged ?

Can anyone confirm? And if so, was it intended or a bug?

I always laugh when I see a KotBs (without Banish darkness) trying to punt someone.

There is simply no room for EW.
