BTW, the ward goes off at the beginning of combat, then regens 40% each tick (six seconds). Fighting solo, the ward sometimes would be able to regenerate then go off another time or 2 before the end of combat. So IMHO this ward is actually quite useful, especially so I would imagine at rank 8. For me, at rank 1 it is a ward for 39 and rank 2 will go up to 58 (if memory serves). It doesn't double, so I imagine rank 8 to be around 150-200 damage or so. Also if you begin combat before the ward fully regens (takes 3 ticks or 18 sec) it will not go off until it does so.
