It won't stack with Save Yourselves due to the limits on Armour Stacking.

It works with TNTF as There's Nothing To Fear will reduce damage taken (not add armour) so Stand Your Ground will add Armour thus decreasing your damage taken further.

No two armor bonuses will stack beyond +25 but a single skill will bypass the cap ie:SY TNTF does not provide armor,rather - damage reduction

So SY +TNTF =Good, TNTF +SYG -Good SY/SYG/TNTF -Waste

It's a waste to use SY and SyG at the same time.Certain bars rely heavily on SYG and thus have SY/TNTF/SYG

Check this page out:

http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Effect_stacking

When "Stand Your Ground" and "Save Yourselves" are both up, your bonus will be +100, since the +100 from "Save Yourselves" comes from a single skill. The extra +24 from "Stand Your Ground" is lost/wasted in this moment.

When "Save Yourselves" wears off, and "Stand Your Ground" is still applied to you, your bonus will be +24, naturally. So, "SYG" can be used to fill-in between the times when you have "SY" up.

"There's Nothing to Fear" isn't a +armor effect, so it stacks with "SY".



Now, as far as doing the math to figure out how much damage reduction potential you get from your rank of TNtF and the +100armor from SY... I don't know that. It's a lot, though.


Edit: I had this tab open for a lonnnng time before i replied... should have refreshed the page.

For what it's worth, as Calista says, SYG isn't 100% wasted on an imbagon bar... it's useful for a +24 bonus during the times when SY is not up. It can save the day if you get blinded or Soothing Image'd or whatnot.

@Warbog The Slayer ...I believe he said at the same time not them both on the same bar unless ur refering to a different post..

And as Imba bars go lets all just use GFTE! when the whole team are casters!
