Does anybody know if wards stack with themselfes if casted in the same area. In particular: Does anybody know if Ward against Harm stacks?

I am assuming they don't, just like Wells. Then again, I'm the only person who ever carries Wards, so I don't know for sure.

No they don't stack, no wards do.

Not with wards of the same type, but with different types of ward they obviously do. Unless you stand next to an enemy casting the same ward as you're casting, in which case there will be two of the same types of the same ward in the same place... /but ill shut up now because no-one cares about that situation. Good good.

/Quoted for truth.

I myself, cast melee/elements ward backtoback. Works fine of the different types. Same types, like overlapping a blood well, doesn't give double the healing, nor do wards of the same type stack.

Wards of different types stack, of the same type don't stack.

That would just be imba in PvP if wards did stack.

8 x 44 = 352 armour vs fire damage. Imagine that.

8 x 50% = 400% Chance to Evade Melee Attacks. Imagine that.

Actually the math would be:
50% + 50% x 25% + 50% x 12.5% + 50% x 6.25%, etc

So the the real chance to evade to melee attacks would be like 99.x%, not 400%.

I know someone lucky enough to fire an arrow through all that and get a critical hit...
