Winning in PvP depends completly on who your opponent is. PvE enemies will always use the same tactics no matter how many times you replay the game.

There are several rings which duplicate the abilities of spells. You're not saying that they are also useless because there is an alternate method for getting the same effect? It's like the difference between weapon modification and augmentation. Also you can't use this spell to duplicate the effect of using both conquer ring and the exalted ring, unless you use two Blue Flame or something.
