I am trying to find out if I can rely on the death-preventing effect of Akarat's Champion. I have read in several places online that it is possibly bugged, and it seemed to have been confirmed. However, I am thinking that perhaps it worked for them, but it wore off right when they died and made it seem like it didn't work.

Can anyone confirm whether this is a bug or not?
