Well good thing it adds 40life then. And for the amount of life you lose it makes up for in defence. Its far easier to find life then to find a huge whack of def. eth rep ancient armors are like 4xx-5xx def? gaining 900+def isnt anythign to sneeze at in lld
No decent barb would ever use an eth rep ancient, barbs always use ornates.
Also, for a bvb where it is your only armour, then it's quite nice. However, on a bvc or bva, where you are mostly duelling casters and occasionally throwing on an ornate to duel a barb, it would mean that you lose around 40 life on every set-up except versus barbs. I would much rather use an ornate with -req and no life, or 2os and no life, than lose life on every single set-up.
For example, this is what my bvc uses:
