multiple runes of the same type wont stack. so if you used a minor absorp and a major absorp, you'd only get the effects of the major, etc.

what type of warrior are you making? sword, axe, hammer?

just something you may want to keep in mind. You cannot stack runes. you may have 5 runes of minor swrd but your attribute only goes up by one.

It's a pity really.

I'm not that knowledgeabe about runes, but I know for a fact that 5 absorptions or 5 vigors would be pointless. Only one of each type counts. For example 2 minor vigors will have the same effect as 1. A major vigor and a minor will have the same effect as if it was only the major vigor. The same rule works for every rune. So I would suggest as high a vigor as possible, as high an absorption as possible (neither have negative life), as many minors as you want, and use other major/superior runes sparingly as they have a negative health mod.

Edit: lol in the time it took me to write this, all of the above people wrote theirs. Also you should problably search the firums a little before asking a question...you would be surprised at what you found.

I'm an axe warrior and I use one of each: strength, tactics, axe mastery, vigor and absorption. If you get a helm with a mod in it, it WILL stack with a rune, but two runes will not, as previously stated. My helm has a +1 to tactics, so I get +2 overall.
