Talk:"Stand Your Ground!"

Discussion
Seems like a really badass skill for maintaining a recently captured area in a GvG setting. Tarinoc 03:56, 17 September 2006 (CDT)
 * Defensively, you move to get out of AoE or kite. Even with +24 AL (which means about 33% less damage) you don't want to stand and take hits you don't have to.  --Fyren 04:09, 17 September 2006 (CDT)
 * Perhaps not pvp.. but this would OWN in pve where monsters rely more on brute strength than good skill combos.(Not a fifty five 12:05, 21 September 2006 (CDT))
 * This would be a perfect defensive skill for a fire nuker, for example. That five-second cast time of MS... would be nice to have +24 armor. Kessel 01:38, 23 September 2006 (CDT)
 * Works well on bone fiends, who spend a lot of time in one place during combat. --waywrong 03:25, 19 November 2006 (CST)
 * This is my kind of skill for when i am working with a hench/hero team. Cause whenever the AI is thinking about a different target then i want to get down, they wil move away from it as soon as i start kyting. So i like to be stationary. Second thing is kyting distracts me from using my skills and takes away time from selecting/monitoring targets, so i normally already stand my ground :). Father Silencio 15:07, 21 January 2007 (CST)

Does the effect end if you move or will you still have the armor bonus if you take some steps and then stop moving again? --Parabellum 08:45, 9 October 2006 (CDT)
 * IIRC it lasts for its full duration, only giving each ally the bonus when they're not moving. Kessel 20:52, 20 November 2006 (CST)

Princess Bride Reference
''Stand your ground, men! Stand your ground!''

I am teh dwead piwate wobats!!

I'd say it's more likely a reference to the movie Gladiator - in Princess Bride everyone ran away. --Kestenvarn 20:58, 23 September 2006 (CDT)

Nah. Anyone seeing someone using this skill would run away screaming "AAAAAAGH NOOOB!!!!!"
 * Except of course in solo farming, but if a man uses stang your ground alone, doesn anyone see?

Princess Bride ftw. Was the first thing I thought of. Flaming capes own. XD --Armond Warblade (talk) 23:05, 4 October 2006 (CDT)

I'd guess there are a lot of movies where this is shouted, similar to "Incoming!". Return of the King is another one, Gandalf at the gate. --Minionman 7:35 PM central U.S. time, October 16

"Stand Your Ground!" is a very common phrase, I don't believe they're quoting anything here, other than warfare in general. --Crazytreeboy 19:50, 16 October 2006 (CDT) It's a very common phrase, but since almost all the shouts are a referance to pop culture, I think it's safe to say this one is too.-Onlyashadow, Top 100 Guild 09:20, 27 October 2006 (CDT)

Could be a reference to a great number of things, basically everyone's heard the phrase somewhere or another as it is so frequently used in battle. IMO it's just a generic name relating to the details of the skill (only affects those standing still). -- Hyperion` 20:26, 19 January 2007 (CST)

life barrier
adding life barrier was a bit excessive

Acquisition
The acquisition via skill trainer is missing. I have yet to find this skill at the trainers. You capture it from Corporal Argon, however, in the Plains of Jahai.


 * Once someone finds a skill trainer that teaches it, that trainer will be added. --Armond Warblade (talk) 23:59, 24 November 2006 (CST)

I have just added a new boss from wich you can capture this skill: Lieutenant Silmok. I think that this is the first possebility to capture this skill. Father Silencio 14:59, 21 January 2007 (CST)

Oppose the Nerf!
This took a big hit in the January 19th skill balancing, now costing 15 energy (had been raised from 5 to 10 previously) and only affecting party members. At 15 energy I really feel it's just not an option any more. We must oppose this nerf! -- Hyperion` 20:28, 19 January 2007 (CST)
 * Ohhhh...it's permanent...BOOO! &mdash; [[image:Hyperion_sig_icon.png]] (talk) 22:31, 4 February 2007 (CST)
 * P/Rt, Vocal was Sogolon! "Stand Your Ground!" Besides, you get an energy refund from Leadership for each party member affected, typical P/W uses "Watch Yourself!" spam for free energy...in any case this skill was getting a bit out of hand in PvP :) 24.6.147.36 22:36, 4 February 2007 (CST)
 * Yeah I spose but "Stand Your Ground!" isn't very good at all for Build:P/Rt VwS Support Paragon because the energy cost is too high and there's no way to spam adrenaline shouts as you don't attack. &mdash; [[image:Hyperion_sig_icon.png]] (talk) 03:56, 5 February 2007 (CST)

Paragons are getting all the hate recently. Chalk up number 3 on the Stand Your Ground nerf(Or is it 4? I can't keep count) Less duration = more casting = more energy. Woo.
 * I know, all this energy cost just for +24 armour when not moving..."Watch Yourself!" pwns this imo. &mdash; Hyperion` [[image:Hyperion_sig_icon.png]] (talk) 23:33, 11 February 2007 (CST)
 * I would never take this over Watch Yourself as I usually play P/W. This has definately become a silly skill. 132.203.83.38 08:46, 21 February 2007 (CST)
 * Which is exactly why you should never stand your ground, 'cause then you're not being careful and watching out for yourself ;) Hmm I think this is even less useful than Protector's Defense now >< [[Image:Entropy Sig.jpg]] (T/C) 09:01, 21 February 2007 (CST)
