I have gabled ends on the house facing N and S. with no eaves. 40 years ago I built this house and used a 12', 4x12 pitch eave vent at the peak on both ends. When strong, wet Northers come in, I sometimes get water spots on my ceiling through 6" or so of insulating bats with vapor barrier. Have yet to have a problem with "the sky falling" (Chicken Little nursery rhime).
The lattices in the vent are obviously sloped to the outside at 45ish degrees and at the top of each lattice the aluminum has a reverse twist to catch the rain that the wind drives up the lattice.....but some gets in anyway.
On your comment about just closing it off or replacing it, what are your options? At my last house, also with a 4x12 pitched roof I installed a 24" wind driven turbine roof vent and on a storm one day, soon after the installation, I crawled up in the attic to check it and it was spinning like crazy and wet mist hit me with my head stuck up in the hole. So that was not one of my ventilation methods when I did my current house.
