It works well still. At 50%HP it reduces to 50%-pdt. Avatars cap at 87.5% -pdt so this still works. I like it but it depends on what you are fighting.

I thought it still worked regardless of your avatar's HP?

Yes. The avatar does not have to hit 50% HP for Ducal Guard to take effect.

So with the Avatar's natural -pdt stacked with ducal guard, is there any reason to have any other Atma's with -pdt? Say like Atma of the Zenith? Or will the avatar cap pdt with just DG?

Avatars cap -damage taken with Ducal Guard and their normal -50% DT. Take offensive/refresh atmas in your other two spots.
