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?
Several links pertaining to this discussion are below.
Several others as well.

As of patch 2.0.5. Akarat's Champion has been re-worked.
It no longer has the original death prevention ability. Now you have to have the Prophet rune to gain that ability.
The patch mentions nothing about fixing a bug with this ability. However, since they have re-worked the skill, this may have affected the bugs that are mentioned in your post.
